April 26, 2014

Lee Marshall was a performer who was the longtime voice of Tony the Tiger in commercials for Kellogg's Frosted Flakes cereal.

Known for his decades of work in radio and television, Marshall was a DJ, talk show host, play-by-play announcer and color commentator. Professional wrestling fans followed his career with several organizations — most notably as a traveling correspondent for the highest-rated cable show of the 1990s, WCW Monday Nitro. His other television credits included Super Gran, Larry Boy: The Cartoon Adventures and The Elizabeth Smart Story.

Marshall died April 26, 2014, in Santa Monica, California, from complications of esophageal cancer. He was 64.

The family requests that all people who have a history of acid-reflux and smoking get screened regularly for esophageal cancer. In lieu of gifts, the family requests that fans of Marshall make a donation to the Jennifer Diamond Cancer Foundation. The foundation is accessible online at www.jenniferdiamondfoundation.org.
