Marvin Sewar
Marvin Allen “Sonny” Sewar, 84 of Charlotte, MI, a proud GM and never Ford guy, died June 21, 2022. Sonny was born October 31, 1937 in Batavia, NY to William and Anna (Lodica) Sewar, and was destined to be in the military with a long family heritage of proud service to our country. After high school, he enlisted in the Air Force in June of 1955 and served at multiple bases during his 20 years of active duty until his retirement on December 31, 1975. He met his future wife, Barbara, at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico, and they were married in 1959. In their 63 years of marriage, they had many adventures together traveling with the Air Force and raising a family. Being a military man meant everything to Sonny. He was a stern but very loving father and grandfather who was very proud of those who followed his path in serving our country, and equally as proud of those who chose other professions.
After retiring from the Air Force, Sonny went to work at General Motors for 15 years. When his family showed up at his house in anything other than a Chevy, he apologized to the neighbors and made everyone laugh. Children always loved Sonny, he was known as a kid magnet and baby whisperer in his family. Some of his favorite activities included trips to the casino, cruising around the state in the RV, riding his motorcycle, bowling, taking walks, watching true crime TV shows, and playing video games on his Nintendo, Saga, Gameboy, and most recently his tablet.
Marvin “Sonny” is survived by his wife of 63 years, Barbara; son, Michael Sewar; daughters, Debra (Gary Sr.) Davis and Sandra Mandeville; six grandchildren, Katherine (Frank) Burcar, Gary Michael Davis Jr., Daniel (Samantha) Davis, Laura (Davi) Salas, Bryan Mandeville, and Gerard (Kayla) Mandeville; 11 great-grandchildren; sisters, Katherine Briolet and Diana Raymor; and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his daughter, Christina Sewar; sister, Geri Atkinson and his parents.
