Marshall was kind, loving, intuitive, caring, idealistic, opinionated and verbose. He loved unconditionally.

Marshall's ideals and strong sense of morality motivated him to present himself, his life, and his ideas in the way that the world should be. He was a defender of "the little guy," passionate of rights and freedoms. He was first to risk himself to fight for what he saw as injustice that needed justice.
