Marvin Keyser, passed away on March 2, 2025, while surrounded by loved ones. He was born on July 30, 1944, in the Bronx, New York, and lived a life dedicated to service, generosity and helping others.

Growing up in West Hartford, CT and as a graduate of Hall High School, Marvin built a successful career as the owner of Sedwick Foods, alongside his father, Abraham Keyser. He also founded the Market Basket Grocery store. Marvin proudly served in the United States Army for 7 years and later worked in sales for Rizzo Pools and Drummond America. However, his true legacy was his 28-year commitment to volunteer work. Marvin became deeply involved with Mended Hearts, an organization supporting heart patients and their families. Since joining in 1997, he played an instrumental role at both the national and local levels. He served on the Executive Committee nationally, led Chapter161 as its president, coordinated Mended Little Hearts of South Florida, and provided support as a visitor for cardiac patients in need of encouragement and hope. Volunteering, for Marvin, was not just about giving of his time, but rather it was his way of life. His heart was full of joy and unwavering enthusiasm toward the people he served with.

Marvin was predeceased by his wife, Nina. He is survived by his son, Seth; daughter-in-law, Jessica; and grandchildren Hallie, Evan, Elijah, and Leah, as well as other family members and friends that will miss him dearly. His love for all was evident in everything he did.

A Celebration of Life will be held on March 28, 2025, at 11:00AM at Living Water, located at 1501 Riverland Rd. Fort Lauderdale, FL 33312. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Mended Hearts at mendedhearts.org/#donate

Marvin’s legacy of kindness, service and humor will continue to inspire those who knew him. May his memory bring comfort and joy to all who were touched by his love.
