Bryan Robert Marville

Bryan Robert Marville, 43 of Staatsburg, NY was called home to the Lord in the early morning hours of May 14, 2026. He was a cherished partner, beloved son, devoted brother, loving cousin, aﬀectionate dog dad and a great friend. Bryan was a creative story teller, an amazing cook, a singer, writer and entrepreneur. He treasured awesome experiences over possessions and will be deeply missed. He was born in Doylestown, PA on July 24, 1982, to proud parents Mary Githens and Gary Marville. While growing up, he predominantly lived in Loudon County, VA and St Michaels, MD. It was in St Micheals where he joined the Cub Scouts and his father taught him to hunt, fish and sail. He also spent some summers at his grandpa’s beach house on Long Beach Island, NJ, where his mother introduced him to surfing. All of these exploits became life long passions. He continued with the Boy Scouts and rose to the distinguished rank of Eagle Scout. Bryan played football in high school and graduated from Loudoun Valley High School in Purcellville, VA in 2000. He attended Northern Virginia Community College before moving to Beaufort, SC with his father in 2002. He then went to the University of South Carolina where he was an Advertising Major and earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Journalism and Mass Communications in 2006. Bryan played rugby at USC and that is where he met numerous lifelong friends. He then enrolled at Virginia Commonwealth University where he received a Master’s Degree in Mass Communications in 2008. After grad school he found himself in New York City where he worked for several diﬀerent prestigious firms before his entrepreneurial spirit kicked in. He created a better frictionless bootie sock to more easily slip into wetsuits and started his own company, Wetsox. Eventually he quit his job and moved to the Hudson Valley as his endeavor grew into the brand now known as Worn, expanding into the garment industry and specializing in wool socks. Bryan sought high adventure and everywhere he went, he found it. In addition to his numerous other exploits, he and some of his college mates went on yearly guy’s trips around the world; they swam with sharks in South Africa, explored Europe and Australia, went heli-snowboarding in Canada and did a bareboat sailboat trip in Thailand just to name a few. In September 2024, he went on a bow and arrow elk hunt in Idaho with his cousin and best friend, Shane Marville. He scored a 5x5 bull elk. Bryan crammed an enormous amount of life in his 43 years, more so than many people do at twice his age. To hear him regale his many escapades was vicarious entertainment to anyone fortunate enough to hear them. He ultimately settled in Staatsburg, NY where he shared a home with his girlfriend and partner of over six years, Paige Kendig and their beloved German Shepard, Meris. Although nearly 6’6” and healthy as an ox, Bryan was diagnosed with glioblastoma in September 2025. He fought the good fight but ultimately succumbed to this nefarious disease after a grueling eight months. Bryan is survived by his mother, Mary Githens of Luray, VA, his father, Gary Marville (Crystal) of St Michaels, MD, his sister, Meghan Marville of Arlington, VA, his cousins Ashlee Ausherman (Josh), and their children Alaina and Everly and Shane Marville (Samantha) and their children Charlotte and Jonah, both of Greencastle, PA and his partner Paige Kendig of Staatsburg, NY. There will be a memorial service at Christ Episcopal Church in St Michaels, MD at 11:00am on Saturday, July 25, 2026, followed by a Celebration of Life at the home of his father. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation in his name to the NYU Langone Brain and Spine Center at www.give.nyulangone.org.
