Marvin Bernard Sporrer, was born on December 6, 1938, in Dedham, Iowa, to Leonard and Sabina (Heithoff) Sporrer. He met his future wife, Susan Bierl in 1961 while attending one of many dances at Starline Ballroom in Carroll. Marvin and Susan were married at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Carroll on September 14th, 1963. The pair would go on to move to the family farm in 1971 where they raised their 7 children.
Marvin spent his early years tiling, doing carpentry work and farming. He enjoyed his time with his family, his dog Bella and watching good old-fashioned westerns. He loved nothing more than spending most mornings with his buddies at T&D in Coon Rapids. And as Marvin would say… “I’ll see you around if you don’t turn square.”
