Marshall’s family relocated to Denver, Colorado where he received his formal education through the Denver Public School system. He attended Manuel High School where he played football and basketball her later graduated in 1967. He furthered his education by attending Bishop College in Dallas, Texas where he received his Bachelor of Arts.

He then met Brenda J. Lefall and they were married in 1970. This marriage was later dissolved in 1977. In 1978 he met a young lady named Patricia Ross and they were joined in holy matrimony. They later went their separate ways in 1984. Several years later, he met a lady named Charlotte Lewis while living in California and they were married until 1984.
