History of the
Michael J. Marshall, Jr. Memorial Foundation
The Michael J. Marshall Jr. Memorial Foundation was established in loving memory of Michael J. Marshall Jr., affectionately known as Mikey. In March 2023, Mikey's life was tragically cut short in a plane accident. His adventurous spirit, boundless enthusiasm, and unwavering kindness continue to inspire us every day. We honor his legacy with the phrase "Fly High MJM," a reminder of his passion for life and aviation.
To honor his memory, our foundation embarked on a heartfelt initiative to create a lasting tribute—an aviation-themed playground at The Clifford H. Marshall School in Quincy, MA. This playground, named "Aviator Park," will serve as a place where children can explore, dream, and embrace the spirit of adventure that defined Mikey’s life.
