Michael Claude Marshall, a devoted and faithful husband, father, and friend, passed away on November 4, 2025, at the age of 67. Born on August 30, 1958, in Norfolk, Virginia to the late Oscar Claude and Rebecca Grace Bower Marshall, Michael was known for his loyalty, hard work, thoughtfulness, selflessness, and kind heart.
A graduate of the University of South Carolina, Michael built a successful career as a manager with Springs Industries. He was a loving husband and father, and a faithful Deacon at Covenant Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church. Michael loved the outdoors—especially golfing, fishing, and spending time on the water. He also found great joy in coaching youth baseball, soccer, and basketball. Above all, he was a godly and faithful man whose life reflected his deep love for the Lord and his family.
Michael made his home in Statesville, North Carolina. His thoughtful nature and generous spirit left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him. He is survived by his devoted wife, Patricia Hallman Marshall; two sons, Michael Patrick Marshall of Raleigh and Jeremy Claude Marshall (fiancée, Hannah Grace McCleary) of Knightdale, North Carolina; and his sister, Terri Lee Fleming (Bobby). His nieces, Joanna Shaw, Valerie Hill (Brian), and Angie Hopkins (Rab), also survive him.

Richards officiating. Friends are invited to join the family for the Receiving of Friends immediately following the service.
