Marvis Colburn Colquette

Oak Grove, Louisiana, Mar vis Colburn (MC) Colquette received ultimate healing on November 16, 2014 at his home in Forney, Texas at the age of 69. With only an 11th grade education, MC showed what could be done with grit and determination to succeed in every job he worked. From the cotton fields of Louisiana, the Louisiana and Texas Army National Guard, Sears, Ruf fin Pre-Fab, and his own company, Metal Tex Systems, MC proved that with hard work you can accomplish anything. To know him was to love him. To be loved by him was something special. MC would do anything for anyone in need, and would help anyone who wanted to better themselves.
