Marvin L. Hoffman, 79, a rural Stewartville farmer, died on Wednesday, Feb. 16, 2022 surrounded by his loving family, at Mayo Clinic Rochester - St. Marys Campus, following a short illness.
Marvin Lester Hoffman was born on Sept. 2, 1942 in Zumbro Falls to Lester and Ida (Berg) Hoffman. He grew up on the family farm, moving often with his family and attended Byron High School. He began his lifelong career as a truck driver at a young age.
Marvin was married on May 14, 1966 in Dodge Center, to Carol A. Kautz. After their marriage the couple lived in West Concord, where they began raising their family, before moving to rural Stewartville in 1991 where they farmed and have lived for many years. Marvin drove semi for local over the road carriers, local area delivery companies such as Armstrong, Dahl, Leitzen Concrete, Old Dutch, and also for local construction companies such as Elcor until health issues caused his early retirement. Carol was a homemaker and was employed with Family Services in Rochester for 14 years and with the Stewartville Care Center until her retirement. Marvin and Carol raised cattle on their farmstead for a number of years and enjoyed doing outside chores together. Marvin also enjoyed fishing, target practice on the farm, watching college football, watching Mecum and Barrett-Jackson Auto Auctions with his wife, and loved time spent with his family, especially his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
