Marvin Allan Brustin October 8, 1937 – December 9, 2025 It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Marvin Allan Brustin, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and respected trial attorney, who passed away on December 9, 2025. He was 88 years old.

Born on October 8, 1937, Marvin spent his life making a profound impact on those around him. The first member of his family to go to college, Marvin, went on to become a distinguished trial attorney in Chicago. He was known for his tenacity, ability to sway a jury, and determination to get justice for his clients. Marvin was also privileged to serve as the Honorary Consul General of Nepal, a position that allowed him to foster cross-cultural ties and deepen his connection to the people and land he loved.

Marvin was a devoted family man. He is survived by his loving wife, Allison, his children, Stacy (Jeff), Nick (Linda), and Josh, his grandchildren, Ben (Luz), Nick (Kat), Julia, Susie, Grace, Silvie, and Sarah as well as his sister, Shelly Gutstadt and nephews Chuck and Ken Gutstadt. His family will remember him as a loving, loyal person who always fought for the underdog and enjoyed spending time with family.

Outside of his professional life, Marvin had a deep passion for travel, food, and outdoor adventure. He shared many travel adventures with Allison. He treasured his time trekking in the mountains of Nepal, where he was inspired by the beauty of the country and the warmth of the people he met. At his farm in Michigan City, Indiana, Marvin found peace planting vegetables, walking the property with his devoted Big Dog, and partnering with his neighbors to nurture the land.

Marvin’s legacy will be defined by his commitment to family, justice, and community. He will be missed. A private graveside service will be held for family. A Celebration of Life reception will be held at a future date. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to EkEkPaila, https://ekekpaila.org/ or The Greater Chicago Food Depository https://www.chicagosfoodbank.org/.
