He was born by his late parents Elsie Mae Brown and Walter J. Marshall in Council Bluffs, Iowa on February 3, 1934 at 6:20 pm. Walter went to Atlantic City for his schooling until his senior year, 1953, where he stopped his studies and went on to serve his country in the United States Army. From registering for selective service in 1952, he began his commitment with the Army from September 1954 through September 1956. While he was on duty, he was stationed in Fort Carson, Colorado as part of the 216th Chemical Company (Service) for the Rocky Mountain Arsenal. Some of his responsibilities while in the Army included making and testing nerve agents, handling flame-throwers, as well as disposal of toxicities. In November 1954, Walter was awarded the "Good Conduct Medal" for demonstrating exemplary behavior, efficiency, and fidelity. In 1955, he was certified as a Gas mask repairman in chemical supply as well as earned his G.E.D. through the United States Armed Forces Institute in Madison, Wisconsin. Upon his honorable discharge from the United States Army in 1956, Walter was a licensed restricted radiotelephone operate by the Federal Communication Commission. As well as he received the qualifications necessary to become a licensed private pilot of single-engine aircraft by the Federal Aviation Agency in 1962.
In 1979 he started a job at Allied Signal Aerospace in Vernon, California. Walter worked as quality control for Boeing Air Research. He continued to work there until he retired in 1989. After retirement he and his family moved to Stevensville, Montana until 1995, when they moved to Riverton, Wyoming. Walter lived in Riverton, Wyoming and completed odd jobs while focusing on his hobbies of photography, journalism, and studying the scripture. He was an active man of faith throughout the entirety of his life. In 2017, Walter moved to Casper, Wyoming where he spent his final days.
There will be an honorary service starting at Oregon Trail State Veterans Cemetery in Evansville, Wyoming and then will be moved to a new venue to Celebrate his life. The date and time is, at this moment undecided. In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting that donations be made out to the family to help cover expenses or a donation in his name to Vets Helping Vets.
