Marvin Kresta, of Victoria, a loving husband, father, and Papa, was called to his heavenly home on Wednesday, March 18, 2021, at the age of 79 years and 11 months. He was born in Breslau, Texas to Alfons and Carrie Kresta on April 9, 1941. He attended Breslau school then moved to Hallettsville in the 8th grade. He played fullback for the Hallettsville Brahmas; graduating in 1960.
Marvin married the love of his life on August 26, 1961. He worked in the oilfield for 45 years before retiring in 2006. After his retirement his days were filled by spending time with his grandchildren and later his great-grandchildren. He loved working on his farm in Hackberry, Texas. He loved life and always had a smile on his face. He relaxed in his rocking chair watching westerns or with his "oom-pa-pas" blasting and a pivo in his hand.
