Marvin Lee Breier, also known as Mopar Marvin or Papal, was 64 years old and lived in Fort McCoy, FL. He passed away on October 26, 2024, in Hog Valley, FL.
Marvin was born in Plant City, FL, to Mary and Joe Wilson on June 18, 1960. He was a firm believer in the school of hard knocks and the importance of doing things yourself if you want to get it done.
Throughout his life, Marvin held many jobs to support his family, but he spent most of his career owning a small transmission shop. He dedicated himself to helping others, often doing more free work than paying jobs. At the time of his passing, he had been running his shop in Fort McCoy for 15 years.
For the past 20 years, Marvin was an active member of his community, always doing everything he could to help others. He loved spending time with his family and friends, whether at holiday gatherings or at the racetrack. Racing was a lifelong passion for him, and he enjoyed teaching many of his family members to race as well. Additionally, Marvin loved fishing, whether it was from his boat or off the bank; he would stop to fish just about anywhere.
Another of Marvin’s great loves was riding his motorcycle. He embraced life’s adventures and was always on the go. He never met a stranger and was known for his constant smile.
Marvin is survived by his wife and childhood sweetheart, Vickie Breier, with whom he shared 48 wonderful years. He also leaves behind his sisters, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, many nieces and nephews and a large circle of friends and adopted family whom he welcomed with open arms.
Marvin often said, “When I die, don’t cry for me; I lived an amazing life.” Fly high and ride easy, Marvin.
