Graveside services for Anthony W. “Uncle Tone” Marshall, 76, of Eagle Butte were held Saturday, August 22, 2026 at the Eagle Butte Cemetery. He passed away Saturday, August 15, 2026, at the IHS Hospital in Eagle Butte.
Anthony “Tony” W. Marshall was born June 20, 1950, at the old Cheyenne Agency to Irving and Ruby (Garreau) Marshall, the 9th of 13 children.
He grew up in the Promise area and the family moved to Glad Valley in 1959.
Tony attended school in White Horse and Eagle Butte and later obtained his GED while at the Indian Police Academy in Roswell, NM.
He worked in various places including the Sale Barn, 212 Liquor Store, UPS, BIA Roads Department and retired after 20 plus years as a bus driver at Tiospaye Topa School in LaPlant. Tony was always willing to help at the school wherever there was a need. He wasn’t afraid to treat his bus kids like they were his own, if they needed a word of advice, encouragement or even an occasional attitude adjustment.
Tony helped his brother Gib with his ranch haying, hauling cattle, branding and repairing equipment. They were always together.
Tony enjoyed traveling to local sporting events, supporting the C-EB Braves, and the Tiospaye Topa Thunder Hawks. He enjoyed visiting family and friends and would often make his way around town gathering “news” to share with his sister when he stopped by for coffee.
He is survived by his siblings: Frances Gray, Tom Marshall, Mary Marshall, Nita Pearman and Tudee Rousseau; children: Gary (Janice) Marshall, Ashley Elk Nation, Derek Marshall, and Charlie Marshall; grandchildren Ethan, Bethany, Ezekiel, Shayden, Levi, Marty, Brileigh, Kevin, Derek Jr., Warren, Bitsy, Tyus, Keya and Melanie; greatgrandchildren Sophia and Asher, and many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents, and siblings: Caroline, Opal, Beaux, Spider, Sandy, and Gib.
