Marvin Leslie Gearhart, 77, the son of Leslie George and Florence Minnie (Miller-Balmer) Gearhart, was born August 20, 1943, in Newton. He was the fourth of seven children living on a farm North of Colfax. As a teenager, he moved with his family to Newton. He was a graduate Newton Senior High School, Class of 1962.

He spent six months at Madonna Rehabilitation Hospital, where Dena learned how to care for his new needs. Marvin learned how to drive his wheelchair and direct his cares.
