My sincere condolences on Stewart’s passing to Wanjira and their family. I met Stewart when we were at Central Queensland University, Australia at the same time – I remember Stewart’s friendly collegiality and his unwavering commitment to using educational technologies to enhance learning and teaching experiences. Since then, he was unfailingly forgiving of my being tardy in submitting my reviews for submissions to the “International Journal of Education and Development using ICT” that Stewart founded, and that Denise (Gaspard-Richards) now oversees. It was characteristically Stewart to create the journal as a home for current and aspiring scholars committed to ICTs as drivers of the democractising potential of formal education, and this network of scholars that he developed and supported is one among many reminders of Stewart’s continuing presence in our lives. Very best wishes to everyone, Patrick (Danaher) (University of Southern Queensland, Australia)
A sad loss.
Stewart and I corresponded and worked together for a while when I worked as Editor of the Journal of Pedagogic Development (out of the University of Bedfordshire, UK). After that work we kept in touch from time to time; I reviewed the occasional book for him, for example. It was always a pleasant working atmosphere. I had hoped to meet him in person one day.
Rest in peace, Stewart.
My condolences to all affected.
Best wishes
David Mathew

Prof, I never met you but I know you were a humble person and have contributed a lot in educational technology and research. Rest on Prof. And I pray for comfort in the hearts of those you left behind.
Prof, though I never met you in person, I have benefited immensely from the IJEDCT, your brainchild. Thank you for the service you rendered to humanity.
Very sorry to hear of Stewart’s passing. Condolences to his family and friends.
I had the great pleasure to meet Stewart and I did work with him in the early years of the Journal. I found him an absolute professional with a very clear focus on what was important. A kind and gentle Man with a love for others. A mentor who encouraged and guided. This is a sad time and yet it’s also a time for rejoicing and acknowledging the great contribution that he made to the world, but in my case also to me as an individual as he did for many other individuals. Rest in peace Stewart, and thank you.
My condolences to Stewart’s family and close friends.
My deep condolences go to the braved family and may the departed soul rest in the heavenly peace.

The passing on of Prof. Stewart Marshall is a personal loss to me. He lunched me into the research world by his patient and understanding guidance in the course of reviewing my works. He planted in me the seed of “I can do it” giving me substantial confidence to confront other review experiences. I know he will be seriously missed by his colleagues but by far more than those of us in remote locations who learnt from his sea of experience and as a result are on our way up. Good night Prof. Marshall
May Soul Rest in Peace
Ooh! What a loss. Its painful but drath is beyond man’s control. May Almighty God Jehovah grants his immediate family members, and of course all of us that are his associates, the fortitude to bear the lirreparble oss. Till resurrection day and under the reign of Jesus Christ when there will be no more death (Rev 21:4 & 5). May we collectively continue to sustain and strengthen the legacy he left in the world of ICT in education
I am saddened by this news. Stewart was such a wonderful human being, I will always remember him. I used to talk to him when I was working in Guyana. May his Kind Soul Rest in Peace.
May He Rest in Peace, and may his family find solace in the loss
It came as a shock to me to learn of your passing. I’m still in disbelief. Dear Stewart, rest well. May your spirit be free to embark on this new journey. Thank you for your professional support.
May the soul of departed guru editor sleep well. Amen
I only ever met Stewart online, but his kind and helpful character shone through in all his communications. A loss keenly felt.
