Marshall graduated from Pampa High School in 1973. After college, he was off in search of adventure. He spent the next 30-40 years chasing the oilfield around the world through all its ups and downs. He was a Senior Oilfield Inspector. He semi-retired in 2022 to work a little and play a little. The heat, floods and traffic of Houston finally got to him so he moved to Harker Heights. As quoted by Marshall, “Also discovered I ain't quite as young as I think any more.”

He is preceded in death by his parents.
