Marvin Rule

Marvin Dale Rule, age 82, of Valley Mills, passed away early Sunday morning, February 16, 2025 at his residence.

Per family request, no services will be held.

Marvin was born May 23, 1942 in Flint, Michigan, the son of the late William and Jessie (Cantrell) Rule. He was a 1960 graduate of Kearsley High School in Flint, Michigan. On June 2, 1989, he married Kathryn Kocian in Waco, and together they enjoyed a loving family. Marvin worked at several institutions in the Waco area including Texas State Technical College and the City of Waco. He enjoyed building and remodeling several homes in the Waco area. Marvin had an interest in classic and antique cars, and he found joy in tending to his yard and engaging in many building projects. He cherished the outdoors, loved to travel, and relished time spent at the beach. Above all, he treasured moments with his family, especially his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. As we remember Marvin, we reflect on the lessons he imparted of kindness and perseverance.

Marvin's legacy lives on in his family, including his beloved wife of 35 years, Kathryn Rule of Valley Mills; his children, Belinda Waters and husband Keith, Scott Rule and wife Mary, Kevin Rule and wife Christy, Todd Rule, and Tracy Borom and husband Ryan; his grandchildren, Kaila and Derek Smith, Benjamin Waters, Brandon Rule and his wife Dr. Madison Walker, Joshua Rule and his partner Megan Murrell, Logan Rule, Owen Rule, Josie Rule, Kalie and Ryan Ellinger, and Gracie Borom; his great grandchildren, Kyndall, Bailey, Colt, Cannon, and Cash; and many nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.
