Marvin Mouat

Marvin enjoyed a robust childhood, with many interests, in and outside of school. Marvin took an interest in politics at an early age and had the privilege of being able to attend many political party conventions with his grandfather, Senator Dave Manning. Throughout his mid and later teenage years his interests in science and technology grew. He attended the DeVry Technical Institute in Chicago for a brief time and programmed some of the first computers to arrive in the city of Billings. He also had a great interest in the outdoors. Outdoor activities included leading pack trips on horses into the mountains, wrangling horses at a ranch, and later, big game hunting and fishing. He was a self starter and independent, owning and running his own trucking business from his early 20's through his early 60's. Marvin made learning and knowledge a lifelong quest, never accepting the status quo or taking superficial information at face value.

He is survived by his three children, Thomas Dempsey, James Mouat and Christy Mouat, grandchild Kaylee Mouat, Mother Shirley Mouat, and brothers William and Martin Mouat.
