Condolences to Marvin’s family and friends. I work at CCAG and I always looked forward to seeing Marvin coming into work. He always had a smile, hug, or encouragement to share. He even met my baby when I was leaving the hospital after she was born which was a special moment for me. He will be missed!

To the family of Marvin’s Burke, I’m very sorry for your loss. Mr. Marvin was the highlight of my day here at Akron General. I always looked forward to receiving a hug and kiss before leaving work. Always staying over on his days to work just to catch up and laugh with him. Just a very loving, caring and humble man. I will miss you Mr. Marvin! You will always hold a special place in my heart. To the family, may the Lord comfort you, hold you, and ease your pain during this very difficult time. RIP Mr. Marvin, Juice

I am fortunate to have lots of cousins in the Akron area. Marvin Burke was among my most favorite. Fun loving, talented and caring cousins. Marvin and his older brother Ted Rivers (RIP) always made me feel like I was their little brother rather than their Cousin. I’m gonna miss you man. Always see you on other side.!!!!

Rest easy my friend. You were a joy to be around, always bringing laughter. You were a real one, until we meet again.
Min. Christina Melkey left a message on April 16, 2026:
Marvin was a true people person, hard worker, and compassionate. He would tell me the same joke everyday at work, but with a slight twist to the punchline. He was hilarious and always joyful, no matter how stressful the workday. He also reminded me to put God first and enjoy the life that He gave me. Your smile and quick sense of humor will be missed.
Urmisteen Vinson left a message on April 15, 2026:
I met Marvin when he was 15 in music class at Buchtel High and have been friendly thereafter. It was always a happy time shared whenever we would see each other. I will never forget Marvin Burke. May you all find comfort in great memories of your loved one. RIP MARVIN
