Marvin was born on August 22, 1951, in Marshall, Texas to Lorin Marvin Cawood, Sr. and Betty Mae Miller Cawood. He was a loving husband, father and grandpa. On February 1, 2026, he was forever healed and went to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

He grew up in the Woodlawn Community and graduated from Marshall High School in 1969. He loved spending time with his family at the family deer camp on Caddo. Some of his favorite things to do there were hunting, fishing and water skiing. Traveling was something else that he enjoyed doing, most especially with his wife, Glenda. He loved Jesus and was an active member at Pope City Baptist Church. A big part of his Christian walk was spent serving with the Texas Baptist Men. Over the years, he served with them on the brick team and on the disaster relief team and helped clean up and provide for many families and churches across America. Mission trips were also something that he really enjoyed being a part of; two of the bigger trips he served on took him all the way to Africa and Belize. He was a member of the Masonic Lodge #38 in Jefferson for 33 years and was a "Worship Master" from 1997 to 1998. He was a hard worker and in 1987 he opened Cawood Tire in Jefferson, Texas. His son Lorin joined him in 2000 and has helped him run the shop ever since. Over the years he helped lots of people, made many friends and touched many lives.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Marvin and Betty Cawood; his grandparents and his sister, Gayle Richardson.
