Jefferson County lost a GREAT star. Earl was a born leader and making thins happen was second nature for him. He was always calm and never wrong.

Elizabeth and I are saddened to hear of Earl's passing and I am thankful for the opportunity to have know and worked with him. Quiet, composed and a credit to the law enforcement profession, he was an outstanding member of the investigative staff at the DA's office. Our condolences and prayers go out to the family in this time of loss and grief. Tom and Liz

I have very fond memories of working closely with Earl when I was an Assistant DA in the 1970's. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace.

I would like to express my sadness on hearing that Uncle Bubba passed. Our thoughts and prayers are with Phyllis and our other beloved family members. I also wish to share a few memories of my Uncle Bubba. As I and my sisters were growing up, he was always a little larger than life, and not only because he was six feet tall, but because he was our “super hero.” When we were visiting at his home and he came in wearing his policeman’s uniform, we knew he was one of the good guys who could always be counted on. He was always there when you needed him. My sisters and I had many fun times visiting in my uncle’s home. When we lived away, a visit to see him and his family was always a highlight of our summer visits to Texas. Years later, when I had a family of my own, and we’d visit Grandma’s house, our boys loved it when Uncle Bubba stopped by on his way home. He’d smile his big smile and show them his badge. These two little boys also understood that he was one of the good guys. My Uncle taught me much. He, along with my Grandpa, taught me how to fish. clean crabs (we all got a lot of laughs from that), and so any other things that are important in life. The most important lessons, though, were to do what is honest and right, and to love others and be there for them. If everyone could have an Uncle Bubba in their lives, the world would be a much better place. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and love him.

When I became a new ADA, Earl helped me anytime I needed a little "guidance" ! He was a great friend and was patient with me when others weren't!. He reminded me of my drill sergeant in the Army, but also my favorite. teacher. He was a caring, devoted, and experienced professional . He was my favorite Cowboy ! I miss you sir. I'll always remember how you and Phyllis were always together at the elevator! I miss you Earl. Thanks for all you did for me! GOD Bless You.!

Phyllis I am so sorry for your loss. Mr. Marshall always reminded me of the "Quiet Man". He was a man of few words but made things happen.

Pat Marsh

Uncle Bubba had a profound impact on my life, and I suspect on the lives of all who knew him. Respect is the first word that comes to mind when I think of Uncle Bubba. He had integrity, strength and impeccable character. With a heart the size of the state of Texas.
