Mr. Marshall was my teacher from fourth grade through high school and treated students with kindness and patience. He helped me understand both music and a lot about life along the way. I´m grateful for the time I got to learn from him.
The Marshall family will be in our prayers this evening!

Mr. Marshall, or just Marshall as we all affectionately called him, was simply the best! He loved music and he shared that love with his students. He had a high standard but also had such patience and made us laugh. A lot. He was a wonderful man with a giant heart. I am better for having known him and grateful to have been taught by him. I am sad that he has passed but I wish him eternal peace. I will always remember him with great fondness.

My deepest condolences, i knew of him but, never in any of his classes. I'd see him in the halls of Richland but that was it. May he R.I.P. I was a graduate of class of 1972

Mr. Marshall was a legend at Richland and later Pine-Richland High School. He was such a huge part of my high school experience. The Marshall-isms that my classmates still reminisce about decades later never cease to put a smile on my face. Much love to his family. I am forever grateful he was a part of my world.

To the Marshall family i am sorry for what all of you are feeling- it such a heartbreaking weight losing someone of this magnitude! For myself and i believe all of his students- he was a fun bright light in the halls! And even though i couldn´t read a single note- he made me join band if i wanted to be with my friends so badly! It was the best 4 years of my life because of him! I feel very privileged to have known him!!

Mr. Marshall´s impact reverberates into the world in a myriad of ways. He was always a champion for his students.

He was genuine and a great role model and mentor.

He led with compassion

So many of us had the good fortune and advantage to know him.

He made a difference.

Mr. Marshall was a true legend at RHS. He was one of the very best teachers in the district and he was loved by every student. When I read in the obituary that he enjoyed laughing at his own jokes, it made me smile. That was completely Mr. Marshall. Thank you for everything, Mr. Marshall, and for allowing this choir kid to be the band announcer and letting me go on the band trips with my friends, even though I couldn't read a note of music!
