Jeremy Marshall, a former banker who led many people to faith and taught Christians of different denominations to come together and share the gospel, has died at the age of 60. Graham Miller remembers him
Today, I am grieving the loss of my friend and mentor, Jeremy Marshall, who died peacefully on Sunday morning at 8am at home surrounded by his family, after almost ten years battling with cancer.
Jeremy was an inspirational figure who lived a remarkable life. He was talented, brilliant, and successful. He attended Cambridge and became the CEO of Hoare’s Bank, the UK’s oldest private wealth fund. He never let his achievements overshadow his humility, kindness, and generosity. He made those he met feel cared for and inspired to be the best version of themselves.
