Marvin Fulton Hogue, 86, of Colonial Heights, Virginia, left this world to enter into Heaven on Tuesday, October 31, 2023. He died peacefully at home.

He was also preceded in death by his mother, Viola Allen; his stepfather, Louis Allen; his father, Henry Hogue; his half-brother, Henry Hogue; his grandson, Jonathan Peters; and his great- grandson, Daniel Melton.

Marvin was a graduate of Virginia Tech where he served in the Cadet Corps and in the Pershing Rifles. After graduation, he went on to serve his country in the United States Army as a First Lieutenant. He served his country for one year in Germany during the Berlin Crisis. After serving his country in the Army, he worked for Newport News Shipping and Dry Dock Company before returning to Petersburg where he worked for Allied Signal for 30 years as a mechanical engineer until his retirement in 1993.
