Marvin Preston Hutchens

Marvin Preston Hutchens, age 79, of Warsaw, Missouri, departed this life on Thursday, March 5, 2026, at his home in Warsaw, Missouri.

Marvin was born on August 31, 1946, in Harrisonville, Missouri, the son of Preston and Ada Hutchens. He grew up in the Harrisonville area and, following high school, proudly served his country in the United States Army from 1966 to 1969.

On October 28, 1967, Marvin was united in marriage to Nancy Joe Craycraft at the First Baptist Church in Harrisonville, Missouri. Together they built a life centered around faith, family, and hard work.

Marvin’s greatest joy in life was being a Dad and a “Poppy.” He loved spending time with his children and grandchildren and treasured every moment with his family. In his spare time, he enjoyed fiddling around in his shop, always finding something to tinker with. Marvin also enjoyed visiting with friends and sharing time with those he loved most.

He is survived by his loving wife, Nancy Joe Hutchens; two sons, Scott Hutchens and Matt Hutchens and wife Faith; four grandchildren, Logan Nicholas Hutchens, Lilah Renee Hutchens, Hannah Lynn Hutchens, and Levi Preston Hutchens; two sisters, Alice Ballard and Carolyn Combs and husband Sam; along with nieces and nephews and many other relatives and friends who will greatly miss him.

Marvin was preceded in death by his parents, Preston and Ada Hutchens, and one brother, Harold Russell Hutchens.

Cremation with a Celebration of Life Service scheduled at a later date.
