Obituary
David H. "Dave" Marshall, 69 of Pekin, passed away at 6:45pm, Saturday, November 15, 2014 at his home.
Dave was the first of triplets born January 27, 1945 to Warren and Ruth Stegall Marshall in Peoria. He married Mary Conneely on New Year's Day 1983 in Las Vegas, NV; she survives.
Also surviving are his children, Katherine Marshall of Lenexa, KS; Megan Marshall of Pflugerville, TX; and Rodney Marshall of Bloomington; siblings, Gary (Jane) Marshall of Maui, HI and Dale Marshall of Peoria; and niece and nephews Laura, Joe and Jon.
He was preceded in death by his parents and a sister, Carole Jones.
Dave began working at Caterpillar following high school, and was drafted during that time, serving in Vietnam with the US Army. He retired in 2009 after 45 years of service at Cat, last working as an IT Asset Manager. Dave had many pleasures in life, and it was no secret that he was an avid Green Bay Packers fan and lover of genealogy. He enjoyed reading and walking and had an eclectic taste in music. His presence will be missed by those who knew him, including the dog he came to love, Coco.
Funeral service for Dave will be held at 1:00pm, Thursday, November 20, 2014 at Deiters Funeral Home & Crematory in Washington with Pastor Dan Doty officiating. Visitation will begin at 10:30am Thursday and last until the time of the service at the funeral home. Interment will be at Hillcrest Memory Gardens in rural Morton.
Memorial contributions may be made to TAPS or to the Sun Foundation Art and Science in the Woods scholarship.
