"I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith." — II Timothy 4:7

A life journey was opened for Thomas Marshall on March 6, 1938. Born to the late Daniel Marshall, Sr., and the late Marzella McFarland, he accepted Christ at an early age and united with Westlake Baptist Church. He received his early education at J.H. Rowe School in Jasper, Texas. After completing the ninth grade, he moved to Los Angeles, where he graduated from Dorsey High School in Los Angeles, California.

Thomas was preceded in death by his daughter, Dena Marshall; his parents, Daniel Marshall, Sr., and Marzella McFarland Marshall; his stepmother, Mae Bell Harrison; his first wife, Rena Golud Marshall; two sisters, Jean Tanner and Mary Harris; and two brothers, Albert Mays and Daniel Marshall, Jr.

Thomas worked at TRW as a machine operator for 14 years in Houston, Texas. He later retired after 19 years of service with the Houston Chronicle Newspaper. On June 6, 1978, Thomas married Rosie Kenebrew Marshall, and one son, Timothy Carnell Marshall, was born to this union. After the birth of their son, they built their life together in Houston, Texas, where they remained married for 47 years.

On April 4, 2026, at 10:30 p.m., Thomas departed this life journey and entered into eternal rest at Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston, Texas.
