Marshall was born in Norfolk, Virginia, grew up in the Kempsville area of Virginia Beach, and graduated from Princess Anne High School in 1964. He met the love of his life and best friend, Judy, in their ninth grade English class, got married immediately after graduation and raised two sons, Curtis and Keith. He received vocational/technology training, became a field engineer and cash register technician for NCR, and retired after 38 years of service. Marshall was very proud of his family including his grandchildren Christopher, Braxton, Tyler, Nicholas, Stephen, Krystal, Taylor, and Kayla, as well as his great-grandchildren Hunter, Hayden, Kylie, and Kassidy.
Marshall was a great provider and a very caring and loving man. He loved helping others whether it be fixing something for them or just simply being there for them. He enjoyed tinkering with anything mechanical and believed that Chapstick could fix anything. He especially loved traveling with his wife and family. He was a former member of Christ Presbyterian Church in Virginia Beach, VA where he served as a Deacon.
