Robert Delano Marshall, as most of us have known him as “Bobby” throughout his life, was born in Washington, DC on January 14, 1953 at DC General Hospital. He was known for assisting friends and family with small and large projects, as he was very skilled with home and automobile repairs, as well as being in charge of everything, as the oldest of five siblings.

Bobby grew up and traveled all over the United States with his family. He spent the majority of his school age years in San Antonio, Texas, where he graduated from high school in 1971. After graduation, he and his family then relocated to the DMV area where he began to pursue his electrical and mechanical career. He also pursued an Associate Degree from Prince Georges Community College in Business Administration. Over the next forty years, Bobby continued to work and create a great life for himself. In 1986, Bobby was blessed with the birth of his only son, Jamal, and the two of them were inseparable until his passing.

Bobby loved his family, especially his three grandchildren, as he was known to them as “Granddad”. He would spend time with them enjoying outdoor activities and frequently had them over on the weekends, where they shared wonderful days and created so many memories. All three of the grandchildren looked forward to their time with him.

Bobby was preceded in death by his father, John A. Lawrence, Sr.. Bobby leaves to cherish his legacy of dedication and commitment to his mother, Janice M. Lawrence, his only son, Jamal (Tierra) and his three grandchildren, Briana, Kalil and Bryce, his siblings September, John (L’Tanya), James (Donica) and Carol, and four nieces Samantha, Patrice, Shannon and Jada, and one nephew Nate. He also leaves a host of aunts, cousins and many friends.
