Bobby Joe Marshall
12 Jul 1952–14 Sep 1996
Bobby Joe Marshall was my brother-in-law. We went to school together at Fairview High School in Camden, Arkansas. I married his older brother, Cary. Bobby was happily married to Patricia Ratcliff and has two wonderful children, Tiffany and Zach. He was working under the garage at home on Saturday, April 9, 1994, when he lost his balance and fell from a ladder, injuring his head. He stayed in a rehab center for months and was finally sent to a nursing home. He never spoke again, and was virtually a vegetable. Bobby was a wonderful person that we all miss. We can always ask why something like this happens to such a good person, but God always has a purpose and sometimes allows things to happen that we do not understand. Bobby left this world after almost three years of being an invalid at the age of 44 years. The nurses tell us he had a big smile on his face when he took his last breath. We believe he was seeing the angels in heaven! Bobby, from your family in Monticello, Arkansas, we love and miss you. Love, Cary, Deb, Ryan and Allison
