Robert Marshall

Debi and Family,

We admire your family so much and are so sorry for your loss. We remember Bob from the Club where we all had such happy times when our children were young - he was always smiling. You have both been so strong through so much adversity.

Our prayers go out to all of you.

Jan Newren & Family

When you take Bob Marshall in his full context, should you not wonder if all things are possible? What an incredible, beautiful life. I am certainly graced to have even known his story.

Simone de Beauvoir said, "Life is occupied in both perpetuating itself and in surpassing itself; if all it does is maintain itself, then living is only not dying."

Dan, I met your Dad on only a few occasions and remember him being a very kind, humorous, and caring person. God Bless.

Debi and Chelsea,
I remember meeting Chelsea, you and Bob while coaching Chelsea in rec soccer 8-9 years ago. Since then I have always felt a warm and sincere greeting whenever our paths would cross in the community. We might visit for a minute or two and then be on our ways. I always felt a little happier after our chance meetings. Thank you for that! Please know I wish you, Chelsea and the rest of your family the very best in your lives.

Dearest Debi and family,
Joe and I thought often of Bob and all of you. Seeing him on the news and what he was going through was tough. We have never met such a strong and loving family. Bob will always be near in our thoughts. Please know you always have been and will always be in our prayers. May God bless you all for never, never giving up. Love you all,
Joe and Amber Cooper

Dear Debi, Chelsea and Family,
We just heard about Bob's passing and would like to express our deepest sympathies. I met Bob at Mill Hollow 5 years ago. He was a volunteer Dad at camp with Chelsea. We went for a run and he told me about Debi's fight with Lymphoma. I was inspired to run for Team in Training in honor of Debi. But there was nothing more inspiring than seeing Bob running in the Boston Marathon! You are such an incredibile family and truly are heros to us! Keep dancing for us,...

Dear Deb, Chelsea and Family,
We express our deep sympathies for your loss of such a gentle, caring husband and father. We have fond memories of our years in the Eastood co-op program and Bob coaching the children in rec sports. You were both so generous with your time and resources and we express our gratitude for associating with you. May the Lord bless and keep you close.

Dear Deb, Kids and Family: I just learned about Bob and am so incredibly sad... My memories of his time in Pekin Illinois are rich with wonderful fun family times. The Springfield Holidome trip (NO ONE SLEPT), the parties, birthdays, our kids in their early years. He was a true community leader too.
Deb, I will be in touch. You are constantly in my prayers.

I grew up with the Marshall Family-Our hearts go out to the family.
