I grew up with Marshall. I hunted and fished with him. Marshall was always so much fun to be around! His wit and personality along with great outdoor skills, made him very magnetic. He loved to laugh, play practical jokes. He was a dear friend, and I will always remember and cherish the fun times we had hunting and fishing together and just hanging out. Rest in peace my friend.
