On June 22, 2020, Neyle Habersham Marshall died peacefully at home in Blanco, Texas with his two daughters and sister beside him.

What do you say about a man who was so private, yet known by so many as a gregarious, smiling charmer? Knowing Neyle is to say he was a quick-witted, straight-talking, hard worker who truly called it as he saw it. Those who knew him best were glad to be a part of his passionate respect for friendship, trust and integrity, and just plain doing what you say you were going to do. And maybe a joke or two.

Born on Halloween in 1948 to Samuel Fair Marshall and Rebecca Genevieve Quirin Marshall, Neyle was one of five loved children. He was preceded in death by his brothers, Samuel Fair Marshall, Jr. and Peter Linder Marshall, and is survived by sisters, Mary Elizabeth Marshall and Rebecca Genevieve Marshall Hanna. Neyle grew up in the Bellaire area of Houston, graduated from Bellaire High School, and later moved to South Texas with his family where he enjoyed working on the family cattle ranch.

Schooled sharply in manners and discipline, Neyle attended the Shriner Institute and later completed over seven years of higher education in social sciences and psychology at the University of Texas at Austin, Sam Houston State, Huntville, Texas and the University of the Americas Cholula, Puebla, Mexico. After university, he traveled back to the States and started a successful home building business in Houston, Texas. Neyle later retired to Austin with his family and took to his passion of art, relics, and historical artifacts.

Neyle was always ready to educate his friends and cohorts on how to do something, share why something works, or explain where something came from. Although he was never a contestant on Jeopardy, he most certainly would have won.

Neyle taught two his daughters, Margeaux Marshall Denham (husband, Bryan Denham; son, Marshall Holter Denham), and Genevieve Lauren Marshall Concannon (husband, Andrew Martin Concannon) how to negotiate, build the best relationships possible, and be who they truly are without fault.

Neyle was strong, authentic, raw, and loved. He did his best, taught others to do the same, and loved in his own way. He is deeply missed. A private service will be held at a later date to be determined.
