From a fellow waiter on Facebook:
Thoughts and prayers for him and his family. I was just at Camellia about a week and a half ago and he was my waiter. RIP to a local legend.

Today I received the news that our co-worker, mentor, and good friend Marvin Day, has passed away. For close to a decade i have worked and laughed with Marvin, and he exemplified the words professional service. Marvin, beloved by so many, could make the most irritated customer grudgingly smile, and I can't remember a single day of working with him that he didn't show the customers how to have a good time. For 27 years he's danced and joked, sang and played with those who dined with him at camellia grill, chanting "who dat" with a smile. No matter who you were, he made you feel at home. We will all miss you my friend, and thank you for everything you taught me. New Orleans has truly lost someone amazing.
Thoughts and prayers for him and his family. I was just at Camellia about a week and a half ago and he was my waiter. RIP to a local legend.

He looks way to young to have waited tables for 27 years. Car accident or something?

Sad news, he was a local legend for sure. I vividly remember him from my trips to Camelia Grill. RIP.

How unfortunate. He did fist bumps before they were in style

Damn this blows. That dude was simply one of the best waiters around. Always smiling, fist bumping, ripping half the straw paper off.
This is depressing news.

This is how I've ripped my straw paper off since I was a kid and it is because of Camellia/Marvin.
