Jim Marshall

To the family, many, many friends, and fans of this great person who played and loved the game of football. Mr. Jim Marshall, the record-setting defensive end who played with the Minnesota Vikings' famed "Purple People Eater" squad. Mr. Jim Marshall had a great career in football and in his community. May you find comfort in your wealth of fond memories together with Mr. Jim Marshall. May the love and many, many special memories you have shared with your devoted loved one show how much your life was touched by him. May the God of comfort bless your grieving hearts with strength, loving kindness and peace as the world copes with the loss of Mr. Jim Marshall. May family, friends and extended family cherish his memories.

I met Jim when he came to Phila. to attend a golf outing and a party My brother met Jim and his family while vacationing on a private island. My brother told Jim you have to met my sister. and we became fast friends for many years and spent many weekends in his home. I'm happy to know that Jim remarried but we lost touch.

So sorry to hear this. Jim and my mom were first cousins, lived in Danville, Ky and he would visit us occasionally when his schedule permitted. My siblings and I visited him and his family one summer. He loved his family and was such a great person all around. He will surely be missed.

I grew up in east Harlem more than 50 years ago and I was a big Minnesota Vikings fan. I watched them in each of their 4 Super Bowl appearances in 1970, 74 75 and 77. Jim Marshall was the heart soul of that team and was the reason why the Vikings defense was called the" purple people eaters" Thank you Jim Marshall for all of the exciting times you provided me and many of your fans. Rest well Jim Marshall for a job well done

My Condolences to the family.

Rest in heaven cuz Jim you will always be my favorite player never will forget when you ran the ball back the wrong way. Love you and rest in heaven

Alvin Coleman sends hisdeepest condolences to the Marshall family.

Thank you for all the great times at the Left Guard, the Depot/First Avenue when you would come see us and other acts perform. You were a class act and thank you for the recognition in Time Magazine. Rest in peace you were a fabulous football player and dear friend.

May God comfort and guide you through your grief. Jim was the most disciplined Viking and earned respect without having to say a word. Everything he did, demonstrated his unwavering commitment to excellence. He will be remembered and deeply missed. Rest in eternal peace Jim.

I am now 82, when I was 23 Jim Marshall of the Vikings worked with us at 3 M for our new non grass football fields. Jim was the most wonderful NFL football player to be friendly to those of us who worked with him daily. I loved him all his life and now miss him as a person who treated others around him with kindness and loved lunch with him. God's blessings to Jim and look forward to being with him down the road. Mike Brown.

My condolences to Cousin Delores and the entire family. I got to meet Jim at Grandma's funeral in Kentucky. It saddened me to hear of his passing. May he rest in peace with my Uncle Buster and grandmother. He was truly a star.
