Marvin Wolf, 86, of Lenexa, Kansas, passed away on July 18, 2023.
Marvin was born Sept. 3, 1936, in Kansas City, Missouri, to the late Raymond and Betty Wolf. He graduated from Paseo High School and received an associate’s degree from Wentworth Military Academy. Marvin married the late Sana Rita Levine in 1958. He worked at Whitaker Cable, Viking Poly Industries, and from 1978-2000 owned Sunshine Automotive.
Marvin was a successful Golden Gloves boxer and had a passion for cars. He was a lifetime member of the Sports Car Club of America and shared his racing hobby with his sons, Steve and Barry. Marvin was a KU fanatic and especially loved watching and talking about KU basketball. He enjoyed reading westerns and historical nonfiction. Marvin loved Disney. His favorite character was Winnie the Pooh, and his favorite ride was Tower of Terror (which he last rode when he was 78). Marvin had a giant soft spot for dogs. He will be remembered for his strong work ethic, stubborn independence, and devotion to his family. Marvin will be forever in our hearts.
