A devoted husband and father who fought hard for his family, friends, and community every day of his life, passed away Friday night. He leaves behind his wife, Mindy; four children, Derek, Barrett, Caleb, and Maggie; and grandson, Jackson; also, he is survived by his brothers, Mark and Michael Little; his sister-in-law, Cindy Long and her two sons, Grant and Ryan Dunham. He was the son of the late Robert "Jack" and Dorothy Little. Marshall Little was a dentist in Claysville, PA. He cared for countless patients over the years with a level of kindness and devotion that many will never forget. Always quick with a joke and a warm smile, he put his patients first on every trip they made to the dentist's office. With Marshall there, a visit to the dentist's office was enjoyable. Marshall raised four amazing children who have been profoundly successful. Derek is a graduate of Clemson University and works as an environmental engineer. He is married to Mary Catherine Little and lives in Athens, GA.

They enjoyed 32 years of wonderful marriage. They have traveled to Italy, England, Ireland, and France. They camped and white water rafted the Grand Canyon. They walked the Golden Gate Bridge. They biked the Grand Teton Mountains. They made their life together a great adventure that knew few bounds. Marshall was born on July 6, 1954 in Fairmont, WV. He was a graduate of the West Virginia University School of Dentistry. He spent over 30 years practicing dentistry in Claysville, PA. Marshall loved history, cars, and his dogs.
