Marvin Joseph Gobert Jr.

Marvin Gobert Jr. age 62 was born on June 17, 1963 in Minneapolis MN to Marvin Sr. & Grace Two Horses. He was raised & educated in various schools from Frenchtown to Pablo. He also attended Job Corps out of state earning a certification in carpentry. He made his career out of firefighting & contract jobs through the tribe. He was a Jack of all trades. Marvin liked to camp, fish; teaching anyone who wanted to learn, especially his nephews; going to Powwows to run into old friends and knowing Marv, always making new ones. He liked to travel & see family. You never knew when he was bound to show up, but always grateful when he did. You could often find him at “the office”, Pablo Bar, visiting, shooting some pool & proudly voicing one of his slogans “Sioux Indians, tougher than nails built to last!”

Marvin met Dorothy Finley in the 80's & in that union they welcomed a baby girl, Marlene, in 1989. She brought so much joy & love into their world & if you knew Marvin you knew all about Marlene, maybe even before you met her because he spoke so highly of her all the time. She was his pride & joy.

Marvin is preceded in death by his parents, paternal grandparents Josephine & Irvin Gobert, maternal grandparents Alice Big Head & Edward Two Horses; sisters Cheryl Gobert Irvine, Marilyn Gobert, Vera Folden & numerous relatives. Marvin is survived by his daughter Marlene (Reese) Finley as well numerous relatives.
