I was so sorry to hear about the tragic loss of Kim. I am also one of those people that worked at Marshall Oil Company in my high school years. Of course I have known the entire Marshall crew for all of my life. They are thoughtful and caring people. I have not seen Kim in many years but I do know he was a thoughtful person and will surely be missed by all.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

My prayers are with you all. Kim always treated me with the kindness of a big brother. Life was sometimes awkward as a teenager and Kim was always there with a smile and encouragement. I recently lost my Mother and have found my strength in Jesus. May God be with you during this time. The Marshall Family holds a very special place in my heart.

Danny, Jackie and Gary, seems like not to long ago we were all small children. Growing up in our small houses in Marshall Village. My Mom still lives there. 49 years. She still has on her table 2 black swans that your Mom gave her when Gary was just a little baby. Jessie had gone on a trip and my Mom kept him. Danny at the football games playing in the band. Jackie, always was the one that like to break something apart and put it back together. My Dad always said he would make it in this big old world because he had common sense and liked to work with his hands. They spent much time together. Much like the adventure man that his dad was. The Everglades boat and riding it at Greshams Lake. My family loved your family so much. Julian and Jerry Clark are my parents. I was so enriched and grateful to have visited with your Mom about two years ago. She still remembered things we did as children. She was a wonderful woman. I guess Kim and I knew each other best. I was in his 1st wedding. There when little David was brought home. He was a good person. Always a smile on his face. He always wanted good things for all people both strangers to him and for his friends and family. I am sorry that you have to face another loss so soon. It is never a good time but, just loosing your mom and now a brother so soon. He was blessed by growing up in such a warm and kind family. Bless you boys and Kim's family. I know he is watching and smiling on you.


My thoughts and prayers are with you.

To Linda and the entire family,
Kim was a wonderful and kind man, and it was my honor to have been fortunate enough to know and work with him. I know that he will be dearly missed by all, and he leaves a legacy and lesson of how more people should live their lives. His warm smile, along with part his friendship will live on with each and every person he touched. I wish everyone the best in this time, as we all know that he is in a wonderful place, and will watch over and protect all of us for all time.
In the universe, the star that burns twice a bright, sometimes burns half as long; and Kim burned so very, very brightly...
Sincerely,
Lee

Dear Linda, I was sorry to hear of Kim's death, from the gang at Jarrett Bay. I enjoyed our times together in Charleston in the boat business. My prayers go out to you and his family, and may God bless you all.

To Kim's Family
Our family was deeply sadden to learn of Kim's passing. Kim and the Marshall family hold special places in our hearts. Kim was always very kind to me and my mother. Both of us worked for him at Marshall Oil Co. Mom full time for over 30 years and me part-time while in high school and beyond. I will never forget one day when Kim asked mom to let him know when the garbage company, BFI, got there to pick up the trash. Mom got on the intercom and said "Kim, the FBI is here". Kim, Frances, Doris, Sister, Worley and the rest of the gang got a big laugh out of that one. We will hold our memories of Kim close in our hearts and keep all of you in our thoughts and prayers. He will be missed.

Linda Sue called and told me about Kim. I was so sorry to hear it. I last saw Kim at Aunt Eloise's funeral in Wake Forest. He was as lively as ever. I have fond memories of the Marshall boys when we were children and of Herbert and Jessie back then. My deepest sympathy to the family.

Linda Sue called and told me about Kim. I was so sorry to hear it. I last saw Kim at Aunt Eloise's funeral. Coming so soon after Jessie's death, I'm sure, makes it even harder. My deepest sympathy to the family.

Kim and my late husband were bowling and motorcycle buddies in the 70's. I guess they are bowling and riding their bikes together in heaven.
