Mr. John Wesley Marshall, Sr. was born August 13, 1942 in Eastover, South Carolina to the late Lillie Bell Marshall Davis and Samuel House. He departed this life Friday, August 3, 2018, to go to his Heavenly Home. John, also known as “Chico”, was educated in the public schools of Richland County where he learned the trade of masonry. He worked faithfully to provide for his family as a brick mason until his health declined. Chico also performed plumbing services for different homes and businesses. His family remembers him as being very outspoken, protective and honest in saying “no” to assistance beyond his limitations. In light of his illness, he still enjoyed singing and dancing.
