MARVIN was a great person , very sad to hear prayers go out to his loved ones RIP MARVIN.

Tough two days for the Wildcats.

Hated to see him transfer out of UK. Heck of a player, and seemed to be an even better person. My prayers are with his friends and family.

Been an unfortunate couple of days if your a UK fan, first the Mr.Wildcat loss and now Marvin Stone. Was a heck of a player and will be missed. My prayers go out to his family.

I just get over this its awful

I loved the guy, I seen him in a Shell Mart outside of Lexington when I was younger and he took a picture with me and gave me a bunch of shirts and stuff like that that he signed. He wasn't a big star or anything but I loved just because he played for UK.
