Willie James Marshall Jr. was a Paramedic for the FDNY. He has been in the fire department for 13 years.

He was a Husband, a father, and a son. He was devoted to helping his patients, family and friends.

He loved music. He always saw the good in bad situations and made people laugh.

On Friday night around 11pm his wife found his body unresponsive and in cardiac arrest. As a member of service herself, she worked tirelessly to revive him until EMTs and medics arrived. Unfortunately he was not able to be saved.

Tragically, he died at the young age of 40, leaving his wife and family.
