It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Marshall Zachary Barker, 33, of Fort Myers, Florida, who passed away peacefully at home with family on December 29, 2025. He left this world far too soon. He was born on December 24, 1992, in Edgewood, Kentucky. Marshall was a bright spirit who filled the lives of those around him with love and laughter.

Marshall was preceded in death by his father, Todd Barker, grandfather, Raymond Reinert, and uncle, Guy Reinert.

From a young age, Marshall embodied the spirit of adventure and innocent mischief. He delighted in playing outside, playing sports, using computers, and exploring the world around him. His early years were marked by a curiosity and passion for gaming, which brought him immense challenges, entertainment, and friendships from around the world.

In recent years, Marshall used his sales and marketing skills in a successful management position with Ace Hardware in Florida. While at Ace, he demonstrated dedication to a strong work ethic.
