Marshall R. Wood

Marshall and I worked together on issues of Constitutional law when I was special counsel to Chatham County. Marshall was cut from a finer cloth than so many of the lawyers with whom I worked and against whom I contended. Marshall would drive me crazy by always characterizing me as "the nicest lawyer in Savannah". I have come to believe that Marshall elevated with kindness those with whom he came in contact. I know I was never the nicest lawyer in Savannah; I think that most kind lawyer was Marshall.

Lynn and family,

As you know, I met Marshall at the U.S. Government Advanced Placement scoring in Daytona Beach back in 2007. It was my first time doing this, but Marshall was a veteran. On the first day of the scoring, I walked from our hotel room bathroom wearing a polo and shorts and was asking the question, "how do people dress at these things?" As I looked up, there was Marshall wearing a dress shirt and pants and tying his tie! I froze. He recognized my concern right away and said, "Don't worry, you are fine. It is my tradition to always wear a tie on the first day of the scoring." I felt a little better and then asked him, "How any years have you been doing this?" His response: "This is my SECOND year." I knew from that moment that this guy whom I had only met hours earlier would be more than my roommate. His wit and sarcasm and ability to poke fun at the obvious matched my own. I knew that I had a met a friend for life. I will miss my friend.

Thoughts go out to you all.

Wood family,

Was saddened to hear of the loss of your father and husband. I know he was a great man and always enjoyed chatting with him and the humor he had but also chatting about his love for Vandy being we lived so close and our lives crossed many times throughout my growing up. Know that "the ones we love are never lost......as they will always live within our heart." Prayers go out to you and the family during this time.

Lynn and family, so sorry to hear of Marshall's passing. He was so nice to me. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Lynn I was so sorry to hear of Marshall's passing. Prayers of Mercy, Peace and Grace to you and your family during this difficult time. GOD Bless you and your family!

I knew Marshall from I.N. Bloom Elementary School, the same piano teacher, then later at high school. He was a wonderful young man. I hope you find peace in precious memories.

We didn't know Marshall well but appreciated his good humor and his love of family. Thinking of Lynn and Sarah, as well as his brother Wally and sister-in-law Patty and all the rest of the family. Rest well, Marshall.

He served as my attorney for a civil case against the state of georgia. He was very tactful, honesty and a great person to know in and out of the courtroom. from Curley Green and family

Lynn and your precious family,
Our prayers, love & thoughts are with you. Marshall will forever remain in our hearts.
We love you

Lynn and Sarah, I have so many great memories of times spent with Marshall on the track and in the faculty room at SCPS-such a wonderful Christian man. He brought joy to so many. All of you remain in my hearts and prayers.

Uncle Marshall we will love you forever and miss you always. Gabe, Cathy and Allen xoxo

Sending healing thoughts and prayers for the family!

To Marshall's Family,
My condolences for your loss. I am a member of the Seneca High class of 1963. I didn't know Marshall in high school but have come to know him since our reunions. We have emailed occasionally and I will miss my contact with him. I will let the rest of our class know of his death.
Sincerely,
Harry Jacobson-Beyer

Marshall was a joy to be around and work with. He loved the Lord, his family, his students, and the Raiders.
Ruth and I are praying for his family.

Dearest Lynn,
Sending love and healing thoughts to you and your family!
