Marvin Auseth was born on June 9, 1950 in Swift Current, SK and raised in the village of Success, SK. He later went on to farm on his dad’s farm west of Cantuar, SK.

He married the love of his life, Dale, in April of 1977 and together, they raised four children — Chelsey, Shyla, Brandy and Dustin. They made their home in the village of Success, where he worked for various farmers, drove school bus, ran a carpentry business and Starvin’ Marvin's store and post office, as well as being mayor of the village for a period of time. 

In 1991, the family moved to Irvine Nelson's farm east of Success where he raised sheep, pigs, and cattle and grew cereal crops. During this time, he also started Starvin’ Marvin’s Custom Fencing and built approximately 600 miles of barbed fence around the southwest corner of Saskatchewan. As well as his farming commitments, he was a proud member of the R.M. of Saskatchewan Landing Council and the volunteer fire department.

Marvin was known for his great sense of humor and his ability to make friends with anyone, he loved to visit with people. The coffee pot was always on and everyone was always welcome. Marvin's family was very important to him and he is survived by a large extended, close knit family who will miss him greatly.
