Tommy Marshall, 63, of Williston, ND passed away on Wednesday, April 2, 2024 at his residence in Williston, ND. A longtime resident of both Henderson, Nevada and Covington, Washington, Tom lived a full life surrounded in love by family and friends.
Born and raised in the Las Vegas/Henderson area, Tom found his true home in the Pacific Northwest, where he spent much of his life. He worked as an electrician and was a proud member of the IBEW Local 46 union. His dedication to his craft was matched only by his devotion to his family and his love of sports.
Tom was an avid fan of both baseball and football, and he passed down a deep love of the Seattle Mariners and Seahawks to each of his children. He coached little league baseball for his sons when they were growing up, taking great joy in being present and involved in their lives.
Tom loved his children fiercely and was deeply proud of each of them. Becoming a father was one of the greatest joys of his life, and just recently, he experienced another dream come true: becoming a grandfather. The arrival of his grandson, Adrian, brought him tremendous happiness and fulfilled something he had looked forward to for years.
Thrill-seeking was one of Tom’s signatures. Roller coasters, horse races, skydiving, and anything that got his heart racing brought him to life. Later in his journey, he found joy in exploring the world. From fulfilling a dream trip to Graceland, thanks to his lifelong love of Elvis, to traveling through Europe. Tom especially cherished his time in Ireland, which he visited twice and always hoped to return to.
Above all, Tom will be remembered as a kind and sweet soul. His generosity, warmth, and deep care for others left a lasting impression on everyone he met. A man of faith, Tom was a believer in Jesus, and his family finds comfort in knowing he is at peace in His presence now.
Tom is survived by children, Cady, Tommy, Tye, and Wade; grandson, Adrian; siblings, Melony, Randy, and Mendi; stepmother, Barbara.
He was preceded in death by his father, Tom; mother, Johnnie.
Service details will be shared once they are available. In the meantime, his family invites those who knew and loved Tom to share their favorite memories and photos and celebrate the kind, adventurous spirit he shared so freely.
