James “Jimmy” Marshall, 83, of Redfield, Kansas, passed away at his home on December 5, 2025. He was born on May 9, 1942, the son of James Henry Sr. and Alberta Lea Pavey Marshall. He married Kathy Ransier on February 7, 1994, in Fort Scott, and she preceded him in death.

He is survived by a son, Lee Reeves of Newton, Kansas, and two daughters, Kamisha Bassett and Kayle Reeves, both of Fort Scott, and several grandchildren: Dalton, Elija, Makia, Audrey, Xzavier, Fenton, Noah, Allie, Crystal, Larry, and Kaylee. In addition to his wife, Kathy, he was preceded in death by his parents and two daughters, Tammy and Angela.

Jim was a police officer in Fort Scott for a while, years ago. He worked as a truck driver and backhoe operator most of his life. If he wasn’t traveling, he was tinkering around his yard or collecting junk. Jim was a great person who would do anything to help if needed. He loved his family and died at home just the way he would’ve wanted.

Following cremation, Jim will be buried in the Old Arcadia Cemetery near Arcadia, Kansas under the direction of the Konantz-Cheney Funeral Home.
