Marvin Lee Boyce

Marvin Lee Boyce, 71, of Ashland, passed away peacefully surrounded by family on Wednesday, September 10, 2025, after a short and courageous battle with cancer.

Born to Billy Boyce Sr. and Vanita Holt, both of whom preceded him in death, along with his beloved wife, Alice "Jane" Boyce, Marvin leaves behind a legacy of love and service. He is survived by his son, Bryan (Katy) Boyce; grandson, Christopher (Lakin); granddaughter, Taylor (Josh); four great-grandchildren, Radin, Layla, Logan, and Finn; brother, Billy Jr.; sisters, Doris, Anita, Angie, Tiffany, and Crystal; and his close friend and first wife, Elizabeth "Kay" McMahan, with whom he shared a cherished friendship in recent years.

A proud veteran, Marvin volunteered for the United States Army in 1971, serving his country with honor. He later became a respected local business owner and heavy equipment operator at Columbia Curb and Gutter "C.C.G Inc.," the family business. Following an early retirement due to an injury, Marvin remained a vibrant part of his community, engaging in spirited discussions about politics and local government with friends at the local coffee club. He found joy in following the stock market and was a devoted fan of the Kansas City Chiefs. Marvin was deeply honored to be selected for the Mid Missouri Honor Flight, where he visited the Vietnam Memorial in Washington, D.C., an experience that held great meaning for him.

A celebration of life will be held at the Englewood Community Clubhouse, 10260 E. Englewood Road, Ashland, MO, on Sunday, October 12, 2025, at 1:00 PM, where friends and family will gather to share cold beer and tell stories about Marvin. In accordance with his wishes, in lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to the Hooligan Charitable Riding Group.
