In Loving Memory of Marshall

Carl, as he preferred to be called was a loving husband to the late Celeste, a devoted father and grandfather, a hardworking provider, and a faithful, born-again man of God. A country boy at heart, he lived his life with strength, integrity, perseverance, and an unwavering commitment to his family.

Throughout more than 30 years with Coca-Cola Enterprises, Carl demonstrated dedication and determination, rising from warehouse worker to warehouse manager through hard work and perseverance. He was a natural protector, a source of wisdom, and a man who left a lasting impression on everyone he encountered.

Known for his friendly spirit and wonderful sense of humor, Carl found joy in fishing, spending time on the water, enjoying nature, working out, strength training, and tinkering with his truck. Above all, he treasured time with his buddies, children and grandchildren sharing laughter, life lessons, and wisdom that will be carried on for generations.

Carl's life was a testament to faith, family, hard work, and love. Though he will be deeply missed, his legacy will live on through the countless lives he touched and the memories he leaves behind.

May Carl rest peacefully in the presence of the Lord, knowing that his work here was meaningful, his love was lasting, and his legacy will never be forgotten.

On October 10, 2026 at 10:00 am, Carl was ushered peacefully from this earthly home to be with the Lord.
