Phillip Dean Marshall, 75, was born November 12, 1948 in Berrien Springs, MI and transitioned to his heavenly home on April 23, 2024 at his home in Youngsville, NC.

Phil served as a Corrections Officer in the NC prison system before retiring in 2012 after 12+ years. In earlier years he had worked in manufacturing and drove big rigs over the road. His major love was coaching little league baseball for nearly 40 years, this being the first season he did not coach since moving to the Triangle area.

Phil is predeceased by his parents, Bud Overbey and Virginia Idol as well as his first wife, Brenda Marshall.

Phil is survived by his wife of 25 years, Sharon Ryalls Marshall and son Bradley Phillip Marshall. Survivors also include brothers-in-law Robert (Lorraine) and Rodney (Joanna) Ryalls, several nieces, nephews, cousins and former mother-in-law Evelene Lowery.

The family wishes to thank Transitions LifeCare, Raleigh, NC staff for the love they poured into Phil for the short time he was in your care. Flowers are appreciated but please consider donations to your favorite youth sports organizations. A memorial service is being planned for a later time in North Carolina to honor his memory.
