Marvin P. Amundson (age78) of Barron, passed away Wednesday, January 1, 2020 at Barron Memorial Medical Center.

He was born and raised in Barron.  Graduated from UW-Madison with a degree in Pharmacy and returned to work in Barron for the remainder of his life.

Along the way he met and eventually married his beautiful wife, Judith Klawiter of Eau Claire.  They have two sons, David (49) and Jeffrey (46).

During his years in Barron, Marv was a staple in the community.  He belonged to the Kiwanis Club for over 40 years, holding several offices and representing the local district at National and International Conventions.  This was such a joy to him and Judy as it allowed them to travel together and see so many wonderful cities.  He served on the Barron Light and Water Utility Commission for 25 years.  If he wasn't traveling, his favorite hobby was playing golf.  Not just playing on league nights, but playing with his sons as much as he could.

He was the most proud to tell people that his "his boys" were both golf professionals.  However, his greatest love was being with his wife Judy.  After she fell a few years ago, Marv's complete world was to care for and support his wife, no questions asked.  You ask anyone, especially in recent days, they would all tell you that Marv's devotion for caring for his wife was overwhelming.  When he passed, his heart was full because he knew his wife was being cared for and his sons were both home for the holidays.

Marvin is survived by his wife, Judith (Klawiter) Amundson; son, David Amundson and wife, Kristie; son, Jeffrey Amundson and wife, Penny; grandson, Jacob Amundson; brother, Michael Amundson and wife, Karen; brother-in-law, Larry Klawiter (Barb Button), brother-in-law, Paul (David Kopitzke) Klawiter; and numerous nephews, nieces and cousins.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Stanley and Inez (Halsted) Amundson and brother-in-law, David Klawiter. 

Funeral services for Marvin Amundson will be held on Sunday, January 5, 2020 at 1:30 p.m. at First Lutheran Church in Barron with Rev. Ron Mathews officiating.  Visitation will be one hour prior to the service at the church on Sunday.

Arrangements are being handled by Rausch and Steel Funeral Home in Barron.
