Decoy Marshall loved big rigs; big oilrigs, and big-rig trucks. During his first career, he worked on big oilrigs in Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Iran, Malaysia, Malta, and Ghana (Africa). And in his second, Decoy delivered freight all over the United States driving a big-rig truck. He counted both careers as true blessings.
Decoy loved God, and he loved his family. He was a charter member of the Granbury Church of God and a dedicated servant who loved to play the guitar and sing gospel songs. He was always willing to help anyone in need, and never, ever, asked for anything in return.
