Marshall Bailey Obituary

Corporal Marshall Lee Bailey, age 42, departed this life on August 28th in a fatal incident at Wallback.
Marshall was a 1988 graduate of Poca High School. He graduated from West Virginia State University with a Master's degree in Criminal Justice in 1992. He entered the West Virginia State Police Academy in 1995, and graduated in 1996. He was stationed at the Clay County Detachment at Big Otter. Marshall was also a member of the Pleasant Dale Baptist Church in Clay, WV. He was a loving son, wonderful father and brother. He loved to fish and hunt when off-duty, but most of all he was devoted to his law enforcement job, which he chose early in life. He was a mountaineer at heart and was a proud Poca Dot. He also supported the Clay County Panthers.
Marshall is survived by his children Lauryn Bailey and Wyatt Lee Bailey and their mother Tammy Bailey of Clay, WV; Whitney Bailey of Nitro; grandson Timothy Welch of Nitro; parents Maxie and Earlene (McClanahan) Bailey of Poca; one brother Justin and wife Ashley Bailey of Charleston and niece Claire Bailey and nephew Connor Bailey of Charleston and a host of other family and friends.
