Marshall Wechter Obituary
Born and raised in Chicago, Marshall lived his 99 years on this earth to the very fullest.
He established an exceptional legacy in business as the Founder and Chairman of Federated Paint, one of the nation's leading paint manufacturing companies, which he ran for 59 years.
Whether it was an afternoon cruising Lake Michigan on his boat, or a morning drive in Rancho Mirage, Marshall knew how to enjoy life. His jovial disposition brightened the days and lives of those who knew him.
Marshall's kind, soft spirit will live on through his wife of 71 years Sharon, his children Michael and Deborah, his grandchildren Matthew, Justin, Jeremy, Joshua, and Jessica, and in the memory of his daughter Lynn.
