Marvin Jackson Burns Jr. of Atlanta, Ga, passed away unexpectedly on April 15, 2023, in Killeen, Tx, surrounded by his loving wife, Tomekia Burns. He was 66 years old. His family is deeply saddened by his sudden death.

He was born April 16, 1956, to parents Dorothy Olivia Dodson and Marvin J. Burns Sr., in Atlanta, GA. Marvin was a fun-spirited soul who took on many passions. One of which included playing the bass guitar. He had an incredible artistic talent for singing. He found comfort and peace in capturing the ocean and horseback riding.
