Marv was born October 31, 1950, to Clarence and Sylvia (Horn) Sirjord, in Mahnomen, MN. After graduating from Hibbing High School, Marvin enlisted into the United States Air Force where he was stationed at Reese Air Force Base in Lubbock, Texas as a Vehicle Repairman.
Upon being honorably discharged from the United States Air Force, Marv worked as a core sampler at Longyear Drilling Company. After Longyear Drilling, Marvin began working for United States Steel Minntac facility and was a part of the Local 1938 Steelworkers union. While working at Minntac, Marvin was united in marriage to Bonita “Bonnie” Pianfetti on December 7, 1974. Shortly after, Marvin began clearing land and building his home for his family. Marvin’s career at Minntac was spread over 26 years of service where he made countless friends working in multiple job duties and locations.
Marvin was a man of few words when the sun was up, however once set, became a philosophical Rembrandt while Hank Williams Junior played on the radio.
His words of, “Don’t live beyond your means”, will continue to be sound advice with his family.
