ROBERT (BOB) NELSON WITT

Bob passed away peacefully on March 7, 2026, in the care of “Kind Hearts Hospice” after 31 years of battling cancer and its unfortunate effects.

The song of your life has played its last chorus as we mourn your loss. Forever dreams of scoring that last hockey goal, seeing a rock concert or hearing your favorite song on the radio as soon as you turn on the car are long past, but fondly remembered as warm summer night drives with the window down and the volume at full blast in Heaven.

Bob lived life one moment at a time, never in a rush. Listening to music and reminiscing of the good old days through music trivia, and his extensive knowledge of music genres, especially rock & roll history. Not forgetting his love for the hockey game that he had as a child into adulthood. From playing for many years to watching the Toledo Goaldiggers and the Detroit Red Wings, his love of the game was very apparent.

Bob went through life unscripted and narrated by recreational means of a certain persuasion but was well loved regardless of what tomorrow had to offer as the free spirit that he was.

We are grateful, as your family, that we did not have a long goodbye. You are now free of physical barriers to run free and live life on your terms. Until we meet again, you rest in peace as a beloved Father, Brother, Cousin, and Uncle.

Bob was proceeded in death by both of his parents Lawrence S. Witt and Janet A. (Firebaugh) Witt. Bob is survived by his daughter Sonya (John) Witt-King; grandson Jaxon Witt-King; Siblings, Jim (Hollie) Witt, Cindy (Troy) Campbell; Nieces, Ashley Witt, Kyla (Kyle) Bachman; grandnieces, Hayden, Harper, Henley and Hudson Bachman; Cousin, Lisa Heaton; step-sisters, Tracey Erd, Tammy Cook, Terri Erd and Tina (Mark) Erd, and wife, Jamie (separated) Witt. A family celebration to honor his life will take place at a later date.

Terry Lee Marshall, 66, passed away on Sunday, February 22, 2026.

Born on September 12, 1959, to Robert and Arlene Marshall, Terry grew up in Toledo, Ohio. After graduating from high school, he moved to Denver, Colorado, where he lived for approximately 12 years before returning to Toledo. For the past 25 years, he made his home in Chauncey, Ohio.

Terry worked for many years at the Ohio Valley Trading Post in Athens, Ohio, until his cancer diagnosis in 2015. He faced his illness with the same quiet determination that defined much of his life.

From a young age, Terry had a natural curiosity about how things worked. He loved tinkering — taking things apart just to see what made them tick and then putting them back together again. That curiosity followed him into adulthood, where he taught himself the ins and outs of computers, becoming quite “techy” in his own right. If something needed fixing, Terry was often the one who could figure it out.

One thing that mattered deeply to Terry was his children. Life did not unfold the way he — or anyone — might have hoped, and there was distance between them. But let it be known that distance never meant absence in his heart. He loved his children very much and carried them with him always.

He spoke of them often, worried about them, and cared more than he sometimes knew how to show. Terry carried his children with him — in his thoughts, in his hopes, and in his heart — every single day. He wished things had been different. He wished for healing. Even from afar, his love for them never left him.

Terry was preceded in death by his parents, Robert and Arlene Marshall; his wife, Luetta; and his brothers, John and Baby Boy Marshall.

Left to cherish his memory are his children, Reanna, Janelle, and Ryan; his grandchildren, Kayla (Casey), Katie, and Tristan (Sarah); his brothers, Jeff (Maureen) and Steve (Alisa); his sisters, Donna, Denise (Nick) Marvet, and Jill (Mike) Palmerton; his nieces, Jennifer, Staci, Danielle, and Monica; his nephews, Jeff and Dominic; his aunt Leslie Gora and several cousins.

To our brother, Terry:
Thank you for being exactly who you were. Thank you for the memories, the laughter, and the love. We will carry you with us in joyful moments, in quiet conversations, and in the way we continue to live our lives. Your presence shaped us, and your memory will always remain a part of who we are.

May the Lord wrap His arms around our family, bring peace to our hearts, and remind us that even in death, His love never fails.

Rest in peace, Terry. You are loved, you are missed, and you are now home and have found peace at last.

Services will be private.
