Marvin L. Starman, MD


It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Dr. Marvin Starman on February 22, 2024, at the age of 87. He is survived by his adoring family: wife, Lynne Starman; children, Lori (Doug) Weissman, Wendy (Larry) Papier , Jeff (Helen) Starman; and grandchildren, Alec (Sloane) Weissman, Sarah Starman, Jacob Starman, Carli Starman, Evan Papier, and Max Papier. He is also survived by his mother-in-law, Justine Wexner; sister, Sheila Sloan; brother-in-law, Richard (Beth) Wexner; nephews Drs. Andrew (Jill) Sloan, Matthew (Kelly) Sloan, Adam (Ashley) Wexner, niece Nicki (Lee) Eisenstein, and many other beloved family members and friends.

Dr. Starman had a distinguished career in the field of mental health for 60 years, serving as a psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, training analyst, and associate professor. He was an active member of the Michigan Psychoanalytic Institute, Society and Foundation for approximately 57 years, having served as a Training and Supervising Analyst, chair of the Institute’s Faculty Selection Committee for 10 years, and as an advisor, supervisor and instructor at the Institute. He also was an active Foundation Board member and fundraiser for many years. Dr. Starman began his professional journey as a Captain in the Medical Corps of the United States Army, serving as Chief of the Psychiatry Service at Madigan General Hospital. He received an army commendation medal for exemplary service in this capacity and was very proud to have served his country. Another highlight of his early career was his election and service as President of the Oakland County Medical Society. Throughout his career, Dr. Starman was recognized for having unyielding passion for his work and dedication to helping patients. His commitment to family and friends was equally noteworthy; Marv prioritized relationships, giving each loved one undivided attention, a shoulder to lean on, words of wisdom, and boundless compassion. He was also known for his sense of humor that lifted spirits and filled rooms with laughter.

In addition to passion for his profession, Marv loved University of Michigan and Detroit sports, food, the arts, theater, opera, travel, and most of all, spending time with family and friends. He was a special, caring man who left a mark on everyone he met, and will be dearly missed.
