Marvin D. Kautz
October 30, 1930 — January 16, 2021
On January 16th, 2021, Marvin D. Kautz was promoted to his eternal home in heaven and reunited with the love of his life, Doris. We are certain he was greeted by our Lord and Savior with the words “well done, good and faithful servant”. Momma most likely said to him “well, howdy doody, do come in.”
Marv was born October 30th, 1930 in New Leipzig, ND to Fred and Bertha Kautz. He was an only child. He grew up in New Leipzig, North Dakota where he graduated from high school in 1948. He continued on to Dickinson State Teacher’s College. On June 10th, 1951, he married Doris Rieger in New Leipzig, ND. They were married for 65 years. He was drafted in the Army soon after that and spent 18 months in Korea, where he served as a Staff Sergeant clerk typist at General Taylors Division Headquarters.
Marv and Doris moved to Medford in 1957, where Marv taught Math and Science, became the Dean of Boys, and Vice Principal at the Medford High School and Mid-High School. He attended Summer School for a number of summers to earn his Master’s Degree in School Administration from the Colorado State Teachers’ College and Stanford. He served at the Medford High School for 33 years before retiring in 1990.
He is survived by his daughter Debbie Kautz, son Russell Kautz and daughter-in-law Debbie, his grandson Andy Kautz, granddaughter Molly Kautz (Krogsrud) and her husband Justin. He is preceded in death by his parents and wife Doris.
One of Marv’s greatest joys was spending time with his family (especially his grandchildren and their “trouble parties”). He enjoyed family traditions and making memories together in Sun River, OR. He and Momma took annual trips to visit relatives in North Dakota and New Hampshire. Both Dad and Momma especially enjoyed the Octoberfest in New Leipzig. He was a Deacon at Trinity Bible Church for many years and enjoyed his fellowship with the congregation there. His hobbies included golf, hunting, gardening (especially growing tomatoes and peaches) and watching all sports. Marv will be remembered most for his caring and generous heart, and as a person who would always take the time to listen and give wise counsel. We know without a doubt we will see him, our steadfast Dad/Grandpa, in Heaven one day. Even though we grieve his passing, it is not without hope.
A celebration of his life is still to be determined.
