Everett Pierce Marshall (January 12, 1939 – June 20, 2006) was an American petroleum industry executive.
He was the beneficial owner of 16% of Koch Industries, which he received as an inheritance from his father, J. Howard Marshall II.
He spent the last 12 years of his life as a defendant in lawsuits by his stepmother, Anna Nicole Smith, and his brother, J. Howard Marshall III, who both sought part of his father's fortune after being left out of the will and testament.
Although Pierce did not like the spotlight and dealing with lawyers, he refused to settle the cases because he believed he was fighting a crusade to honor the final wishes of his father.
[4] Marshall died on June 20, 2006, at the age of 67 as a result of septic shock brought on by a combination of staphylococcus and streptococcus infections that were resistant to drugs.
Teamed with Sports Car Club of America racers Dave Faust and Kirby Goodman, Marshall drove a Chevrolet Malibu with the 9C1 Police Patrol Package and a 350-cubic-inch LT-1 Z-28 Chevrolet Camaro engine, finishing 13th in a field of 47 competitors, completing the run from Darien, Connecticut, to Redondo Beach, California, in 36 hours, 51 minutes.
