He is the loving father of: son Mike (Jenn) Parlevliet and their daughters, McKenna and Ainsley; daughter Carrie (Trevor) Visser and their kids, Carter and Payton; and daughter Tia (Jake) VanderHeide and their daughters, Hailey, Ruth and Kennedy, all of Coaldale. He is also survived by his sisters: Margaret Roscher of Kingston, ON, and Anne-Marie (John) DeBoer of IJsselmuiden, The Netherlands and their families.

He was predeceased by his parents, Marinus and Janny Parlevliet; his in-laws, Pieter and Teresa deGraaf; his brothers-in-law, Rene Roscher, Paul Black and Dirk deGraaf, and his sister-in-law, Donna Cupido.

Marinus enjoyed a lifelong career in trucking, owning Mogus Transport for 35+ years. He was a hard-working provider for his family. When he was not on the road, he enjoyed making memories with his family camping and skiing. In his spare time, he loved to golf, and loved camping with his wife and grandkids, and watching their sports games. His positive “life is good” attitude was evident to all, and he lived a life of faith in the Lord. He will be dearly missed by those he leaves behind.

A Funeral Service will be held at GRACE REFORMED CHURCH, 1402 – 8 Avenue North, Lethbridge, AB, on Monday, January 20, 2025 at 2:00 P.M. with Pastor Paul Van Stralen officiating. The Funeral Service will be live-streamed and may be viewed through Marinus’ obituary on the Cornerstone website.
