Marshall English, Jr.
December 21, 1930 — February 28, 2019
Mr. Marshall English, Jr. (Big Doom), age 88. Son of the late Effie and Marshall English, Sr. Born on Dec. 21, 1930. Departed this life Feb. 28, 2019 at Miami Valley Hospital surrounded by family and friends.
He is also preceded in death by four siblings: sisters, Marcella Turner and Joyce (Charles) Gay, Sr.; brothers, Leroy and Alonzo English; a daughter, Diane; two grandchildren, Brittney Curtiss and Kylen English; a niece, Cheryl English and a dear friend, Doris Wilson.
Survivors include his sister, Genevieve Peters; brother, Earl (Kay) English; seven children: Wanda, Marsha, Bobby, Barbara, Kathy, Eric and Kimberly; 17 grandchildren; 18 great grandchildren; four great-great grandchildren; five nephews who were very fond of him, Jerry Wright, Charles Gay, Jr., Toney English, Alonzo English and James Cameron; and numerous other family and friends.
Mr. English was a man of solemnity who had dignity and a slight sense of humor. A man who carried himself in a serious manner that was worthy of respect. Mr. English was a proud and wise man who had experienced life, and had a deep understanding of those who were in his.
At an early age, he worked for Inland Industry. His hobby was boxing and he also loved to sing his favorite song (For your Precious Love), but his greatest passion was hunting, barbecuing and cooking.
Even though Mr. English had some fall backs, he also had some come ups. Later in life, he became an entrepreneur. He started his own construction business (English Construction Co.) which is now his legacy. In 2014, he was baptized and dedicated his life to God. Mr. English had a strong mind and will to live until the day he died.
I have fought a good fight.
I have finished my course.
I have kept the faith.
