Marshall McGalliard

Marshall Dale McGalliard Sr., age 85, passed away peacefully on December 24, 2025, in Lubbock, Texas.

Marshall was raised in Spur, Texas, and lived a life defined by service, dedication, and deep love for his family and the land. In 1963, he graduated from Texas A&M University, an achievement he held with great pride and remained a lifelong, passionate Aggie. He proudly served his country in the United States Air Force from 1963 to 1968, earning the rank of Captain. 

In 1968, Marshall married the love of his life, Becky McGalliard. They shared many years together before her passing, and he remained devoted to her memory throughout his life.

Marshall dedicated 57 years to managing McGalliard Farms, a role he embraced with unwavering commitment. His work ethic, stewardship, and hands-on involvement never faded; he remained actively engaged in the farm’s operation until his passing.

He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Becky McGalliard.

Marshall is survived by his children: Jerry & Linda Alexander, Sky & Paige Bizzell, Dale & Vanessa McGalliard, and Jess & Heather Wheeler. He was a proud grandfather to ten grandchildren: Courtney, Bliss, Brooks, Berit, Erin, Wade, Tatum, Keeley, and Layne. Two great-grandchildren: Rowdy and Everleigh. All of whom were a great source of joy and pride in his life.

Marshall will be remembered for his loyalty to family, his love of farming, his Aggie spirit, and his quiet strength. His legacy lives on through the generations he nurtured and the land he cared for so faithfully.  Gig’em!
