Not sure what to say?

I met Marshall the very first day of our Freshman Year at William Jewell College, September 1980. He was in a dorm room down the hall from me. I had never met a person with his degree of intelligence. Not in a few topics...but in many! He convinced me to create a character for his Dungeon and Dragon and I went to a few games on Friday night. Okay, we were nerds and didn't have dates or anything else to do on Friday nights. He was a thoughtful young man, always kind to others, and on a...

I knew Marshall as a student at William Jewell College. He was eager and willing to assist with chapel music whenever needed. Marshall was a multi-talented musician but I especially enjoyed him on the organ. He will be missed.

On behalf of The Arc Western Wayne County Board of Directors and Staff:

We extend our sincerest condolences on the passing of Marshall.

We marveled at his passion for music, his incredible acumen for technology, and his compassionate heart. Marshall shepherded our agency into the 21st century. First word processor, first computer, first server, etc., etc. He had an ease of making the complicated simple.

Our relationship dates back to the late 80s. He cared...

Marshall was a high school friend 40+ years agohe was the nicest young man we shared a love for music. Praying for peace for his family & friends

It was an honor to know Marshall, if for just a short time with the Detroit Concert Choir. He will be missed but always remembered. Our heartfelt sympathy to his family.

"In sorrow we must go, but not in despair. Behold! we are not bound for ever to the circles of the world, and beyond them is more than memory."

"Utúlie'n aurë! Aiya Eldalië ar Atanatári, utúlie'n aurë!"

"Time for our parting now has come, Brothers good night; Into our separate paths we go, Strong in our might; Filled with love and kindred ties, Steadfast and true, Spirit such as never dies, Brothers good night."

My sister, Danette Pangrac, and myself send our heartfelt sympathy to all of you on the passing our cousin Marshall. We have great memories of being with him and Matthew during our younger years. We were reminiscing on the time they were at our house in 1977 when the new Queen- News of the World album just came out. We all were playing it over and over and singing to the lyrics.
