Winston Dacosta Phillips Marshall was born on November 21, 1959 in St. Michael, Barbados in the West Indies. He was the first child of Justin Bridgeman and Marjorie Phillips. Along with his younger brother and sister, Winston immigrated to Boston Massachusetts in 1970 where he resided until his transition to his heavenly home the day after Thanksgiving 2023.

In middle school, Winston excelled academically and received a double promotion.. He graduated from Jeremiah Burke High School and chose building trades as a career. He earned an Associates Degree in Business Administration from Newbury Junior College. Winston was employed with a number of prestigious construction firms, working on complicated development projects up and down the east coast. His specialty, however, was in sheet metal. Due to his vast experience and knowledge in the trades, he decided to venture out and form his own construction company. Winston successfully ran his company for over 20 years until health issues prevented him from continuing.

Winston loved the Lord. With the encouragement of his sister Joan, he became a member of St. Paul AME Church in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Winston loved his church and immersed himself in its ministry. Over time he became a church trustee. Winston enjoyed singing and dancing. He had a large repertoire of music. For over 20 years he sang with the men's choir. He joined the liturgical dance ministry and showcased his talents. He supported the women's missionary ministry. He even wore his white suit on their designated Sundays. The church mothers provided Winston with spiritual support and guidance, which he cherished. He also willingly transported food and other items in his vehicle for church functions. As a contractor, he looked out for the upkeep of the church buildings. Winston participated in St. Paul's annual fashion extravaganza and one year he fabulously modeled a stunning fur coat. Whatever he was asked to do, Winston did it without hesitation. In Psalm 116 the question is asked, "What shall I render to the Lord for all His benefits toward me?" The psalmist replied, " O Lord, truly I am your servant." Winston heard this question & answered the call.

Family was Winston's primary passion. In 2007 Winston married Faith Walker who with her son, Jamal expanded his family. His daughter Tamula (Tammy) gifted him with four beautiful grandchildren who affectionately called him "Papa". Through Faith, two more beautiful grandchildren were added to the family. "Papa's" weekends were for the grandchildren and he devoted himself to their every want and need. He truly was a doting grandfather and they loved him unconditionally and showered him with their affection. Winston boasted unapologetically and often about his daughters Tamula (Tammy), Tasha, and his spiritual son Cody. He reached out to aunts, uncles, cousins, and siblings, to develop strong and lasting relationships. Friends were family and family were friends.
