Kenneth Myrl Ervine, 89, of Marlinton, went home to be with the Lord Sunday, February 4, 2024.
Born September 28, 1934, in Whitesville, he was a son of the late Grady Myrl (Slim) Ervine and Delta Anita (Jab) Foster Ervine.
Kenneth attended WVU then served for three years in the U.S. Army where he competed on the pistol team. He returned to Marlinton and ran the Marlinton Cleaners and Highlander Center Laundromat until 1996; then served as the Superintendent of the Pocahontas Country Club for numerous years; and finally, ran a successful Dixie Chopper business from 2005 until 2017.
In his younger years, Kenneth enjoyed hunting, fishing and playing golf. He loved Marlinton and Pocahontas County and his favorite pastime in later years was sitting in local restaurants or the IGA where he could converse and visit with the staff as well as the patrons. He really enjoyed spending time and sharing stories with people.
He is survived by his wife, Joan Wimer Ervine; son, Shawn Ervine (Melissa); daughter, Jan Ervine Jonese (Mark); grandchildren Jessica Ervine, Carlie Ervine, Max Ervine, Derek Jonese (Samantha), Alex Jonese (Cydney), Sara Simmons (Stephen), Allison Vance (Matt); four great-grandchildren; and his faithful dog, Ruger.
There will be a Celebration of Life service at a later date.
