Samuel Marshall Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Dec. 3, 2023.
Samuel Leroy Marshall, known to his loved ones as Sam, passed away on November 20, 2023, at the age of 74 in Phoenix, Arizona. Born on November 12, 1949, in Phoenix, Sam had a deep appreciation for nature and spent much of his time exploring the wonders of his home state. Hiking, camping, and immersing himself in the beauty of Arizona brought him great joy.

Sam's strong faith in the Lord provided him with comfort and strength throughout his life, helping him navigate the many hardships he encountered. His unwavering devotion was an inspiration to all who knew him.

Sam is survived by his beloved daughter, Jennifer Marshall Ragland, and her husband Greg. The joy of being a father was multiplied for Sam through the presence of his cherished grandchildren: Ian, Zoe, Stone, and Mateo. In addition, Sam was blessed with great-grandchildren, bringing him immense happiness.

He was preceded in death by his son Sammy Marshall and his son Timothy Marshall. Sam also mourned the loss of his sister, Cathleen Mester, and his brothers Johnny Marshall and Jimmy Marshall.

A "celebration of life" gathering will be announced at a later date to honor Sam's memory and pay tribute to a life well-lived. Details of the gathering will be shared with friends and family in due course.

In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to St. Vincent De Paul, an organization close to Sam's heart. Your generosity will help continue his legacy of compassion and support for those in need.

Samuel Leroy Marshall, affectionately known as Sam, will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all those whose lives he touched. May his soul rest in eternal peace.

Sam Marshall was my uncle. Sadly, I only saw him once as a child at my grandpa's funeral. I have lost both grandparents, my Aunt Kathy, my Uncle Jimmy and my dad (John). I just found out today that my Uncle Sam and his two sons past away. I tried reaching out on social media previously in hopes of building a relationship and had no success. Family is important. So, cherish those who you have in life because there is no guarantee the amount of time that you will have with them, if any. God bless!
