His presence in the church was one of steady support, always willing to lend a hand or a listening ear and he touched the lives of many with his gentle kindness. 

 Marshall was an avid outdoorsman and found peace and joy in nature. He was happiest with a fishing rod in his hand. He was a duck hunter, fisherman, he also loved to hunt squirrel. The love of his life was fishing and duck hunting. His love for the Atlanta Braves brought him years of excitement, and his enthusiasm for square dancing and Western dancing kept his spirit light and his friendships strong.
