Marvin's father was shot to death
In 1984, Marvin's grandparents had an argument over a missing insurance document.
Marvin's grandfather was searching for the missing document the whole day, and he scolded his wife for losing it.
Marvin's father was done, so he asked his father to leave her mother alone, but his father continued to yell at them.
Marvin Gaye Sr. went to bed, and the next morning, he woke and was very furious about missing documents from the ground floor.
Marvin Sr. yelled at his wife, who was in her son's room.
So, Marvin yelled back at his father, asking him to talk about the missing paperwork face to face rather than shouting from downstairs.
Marvin Sr. got angry, and he went to his son's room immediately and began yelling at his wife.
Marvin's father had enough, so he jumped from his bed, asked him to leave, and pushed him out of his room into the hallway.
He even punched his father, and his mother stopped him from doing so. His father walked up to his bed and stayed quiet.

He ran from his home at the age of 17 to join the US Air Force, but he got out of the US Air Force, faking his medical illness.
He came to his home and established his band. The more success he got, the more his father hated him.
He said that if it were not for his mother, then he would have committed suicide.
What were Marvin's last words?
After Marvin was shot, he was on the floor, covered with blood. His younger brother Frankie came there and put him in his lap.
Before dying Marvin said he got what he has always wanted. He could not do it on his own, so he made him do it.
