Marvin A. Steadman

Marvin A. Steadman, 88, passed away in his home after a long illness.

Marvin was born in Broadus, MT, on April 17, 1933, to James Milton Steadman and Anona Pearl Macy.

As a boy, Marvin wanted to be a cowboy. He realized his dream at 14 and 15 years old when he rode saddle broncs in the local rodeo. The rodeo paid him $5 to ride the horses out of the chute. During his rodeo years, Marvin became fast friends with the Greenoughs and Lindermans. Even though he rode for only two years, Marvin had many fond memories of his time spent on the rodeo circuit. 

When Marvin was 17 years old, he enlisted in the United States Navy. After three months of boot camp, Marvin was sent to North Korea where he was part of a unit called the Sitting Ducks of Inchon. He spent three years serving our country. He was very proud of being a Korean War veteran and serving with his brothers and sisters in arms. read more
