Marshall and i had some absolutely great times together “back in the day”. I really enjoyed working with him as his CPA and he was one of my most valued and trusted supporters. We had lots of fun bird hunting around his place outside San Saba and Marshall went to Kansas pheasant hunting one year. While i havent seen Marshall recently i was saddened by his passing and my condolences to all the family members on your loss. God Bless.
So sorry for the passing of this sweet man. I have so many wonderful childhood memories that include him, God bless you all and know that you are loved.

Uncle Marshall and Aunt Algerita will always be in my favorite memories! Walking in the door of their home, smelling black eye peas in the pressure cooker, Uncle Marshall giving me the keys to his 4 wheeler while he gripped that I was gonna use up all his gas! I will cherish his grin, laugh and wearing that ten gallon hat like JR Ewing😂 Prayers for my sweet cousins and I know that awesome man is smiling down from Heaven on y’all! God Bless😘
Sorry to hear of Marshall passing away. He was a good man. We are sick and not able to attend the service. Praying for comfort for all during this very sad time.
I am so sorry for your loss. Though up in years, it is still hard to accept that death has overtaken a loved one. “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be NO MORE . Neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.â€(Revelation 21:4) Soon God will eliminate death and allow faithful humans to enjoy everlasting life. “There IS going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.†(Acts 24:15) Imagine Marshall’s expression when he “wakes up†to a beautiful New World of God’s making, when God’s Kingdom has at last “comeâ€.
