Marvin ( “Sonny”, “The Marv”, “Marvinski”, “Pappy” and “Pop”) Sorrow, age 79 of Elizabethton, TN made us laugh for the final time on January 9, 2021 departing the VA Hospital at Mtn Home, TN for his finale deployment.
Marvin was a veteran of the US Army, and was very proud of his 3 service tours in Vietnam.
The Marv or Marvinski was a retired professional of the fencing industry, having spent 35 years in sales . He loved his career and the interaction with people that it brought, customers, co-workers, and vendors alike. He thrived on making everyone smile with his off the cuff humor and flirtacious wit.
Marvin was born in Atlanta, GA on July 10, 1940 to William J. Sorrow and Della Veale Sorrow. He is preceded in death by both parents, a brother, Billy, and a sister, Dorothy.
Marvin is survived by two children, son Brad Sorrow, and daughter Robin Cornelison, their spouses Kristina and Keith, and 4 grandchildren, Matthew, Katie, and Megan Sorrow, and Lauren Cornelison.
