Marshall was my neighbor. What a great guy. We both enjoyed racing and fast cars and a good glass of wine. He was always positive and certainly gave me a new way of looking at life. R.I.P. Marshall.

It is with deep regret that I view the notice of the passing of our great friend and classmate, Marshall Atherton. He will be remembered as a person with great compassion and understanding for others. And he will be missed by many.
Condolences to his family and all those who were fortunate enough to live near him and share his day-to-day life with him.
I hold many remembrances for him while we served together in student councils.

I'm so sorry for your family's loss, may you draw close to our loving God by reading his word, where you can find comfort in the hope that of seeing our loved one again in a beautiful new paradise home here on earth. Psalm 115:16-- Psalm 83;18

Marshall and I shared experiences at Columbia Grade School, and were football teammates at Jefferson High. We both returned to the Northwest 40 years after leaving. It was there I met Shirley, and shared times with her and Marshall. Marshall and I did connect while in Southern California, through our mutual friendship with Dale Brethuer, another Jerrerson graduate. I will miss Marshall, he was a fine person, and true friend. My kindest thoughts and wishes to Shirley and his family.
