QST,
It is with great sadness that I send you Kent Marshall’s (W5TXV) obituary. Kent passed away on January 11, 2023.
In 1974, Kent was one of the founding members of the Houston Echo Society. He was a mentor to many and friend to all.
There never was a doubt that Kent was an Aggie through and through and lived the highest ideals of being an Aggie.
Kent lived his Christian faith in all he did and was an example of righteous living to many and friend to all.
We have collectively missed Kent in recent years as he battled cancer. We will miss his presence and guidance.
Kent is survived by wife Linda Marshall. Linda may be contacted via phone at 713-829-7733.
Kent is survived by wife Linda Marshall, brother Danny Marshall, and sister Sherry Marshall Holcomb, son Michael Cass Marshall, daughter Beth Marshall Bridges, grandchildren Gracie Bridges, Burke Bridges, Adelaide Bridges, Cade Bridges, Cade Marshall. and Macy Marshall

Kenton Ernest Marshall, W5TXV, Obituary
September 8, 1942 - January 11, 2023
Kenton Ernest Marshall, 80, of Tomball, Texas passed away on January 11, 2023. Kent was born on September 8, 1942. in Carthage, Texas to the late Ernest Marshall and Mildred Rogers Marshall. His first wife, Warrene Hanks Marshall, preceded him in death in 2008. Kent is survived by wife Linda Marshall, brother Danny Marshall, and sister Sherry Marshall Holcomb, son Michael Cass Marshall, daughter Beth Marshall Bridges, grandchildren Gracie Bridges, Burke Bridges, Adelaide Bridges, Cade Bridges, Cade Marshall. and Macy Marshall.
Kent followed in his father's footsteps to pursue an Electrical Engineering degree at Texas A&M in 1967. He loved A & M and found Aggies over the world in his travels. During his electrical engineering career, he traveled Europe, the Middle East and Saudi Arabia, living and working there with his family for two years.
He was interested in Ham Radio at a very young age, getting his Ham Radio license as an early teen. While at A & M, he was one of the officers of A&M Ham Operators Club. In later life, he was a member of the Houston Echo Society & Ham Radio Club in the Houston area.
He loved growing plants, especially Blackberries and Plumerias. It gave him joy to see them thrive. He also loved animals, especially dogs. He recently fell in love with a Golden Doodle by the name of Max. Kent loved that Max would sleep on Kent's feet whenever he had a chance.
Kent became a Christian at an early age and his love and heart for God grew throughout his lifetime as a true disciple of Christ, God, and God's people. His love of Christ revealed itself in his passion for Gospel Music.
Kent has fought the good fight, he finished the race, and kept the faith. Now there is in store for him the Crown of Righteousness which the Lord will reward to him on that day. Not only for him, but also to all who have longed for His appearing.
THE LORD'S PRAYER
Our Father, who art in heaven hallowed be thy name.
The kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in
heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us
our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against
us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from
evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the
glory, forever and ever, Amen
