10 Most Heartwarming Moments In How I Met Your Mother

Also in Season Six is when Marshall's dad Marvin dies from a heart attack, and Jason Segel arguably brings his best acting chops to the show as the character struggles to cope.

In the episode 'Last Words', the gang attend Marvin's funeral where Marshall struggles with his father's meaningless final words to him over trivial issues, while the rest of his family describe inspiring and motivational messages.

However, as the gang gathers outside the church after the service, Marshall discovers a missed voicemail from Marvin after the last time he saw him. After initially mistaking it for a pocket dial, Marvin speaks over the phone and tells his son he loves him.

It's a bittersweet moment for Marshall, who at last starts to find some acceptance in what has happened, but has his friends around him to support him.
