In loving memory of Eric Lewis Marshall: October 3, 1962 to October 17, 2026.  Retired Ottawa Fire Services Captain. Eric was predeceased by his father Gordon (October 10, 2026) and his son Kyle (August 9, 2016).  He is survived by his mother Ann, his partner Cathy, his daughter Robin (Ryan), his sister Julie (Peter), his brother Glenn (Pim), his brother Brian (Krisha), numerous nieces, nephews and beloved cousins.

Eric’s sources of joy included time relaxing with his family and hanging out with his foster dogs. He took an all or nothing approach to his passions including but not limited to: golfing, working out, fast cars, chess and most impressively, table tennis. He was a fierce and successful competitor, traveling repeatedly to the Police and Fire games throughout North America, among other tournaments of all sizes. He was a man of few words but was thoughtful, and succinct.

A reception will be held for friends, family, colleagues and teammates at Beechwood Funeral, Cemetery and Cremation Services, 280 Beechwood Avenue, Ottawa, on Thursday, October 29 from 3 to 6 p.m.

In memory of Eric, donations to The FAM Network would be appreciated.
