Marshall Gregory “Greg” Hubbard
August 11, 1950 – September 6, 2021
Greg was a believer in living life to the fullest and knowing each day is a gift. He lived by the motto “Everything in excess and nothing in moderation”. Greg lost his hard fought battle to Aplastic Anemia on September 6, 2021 at the age of 71 with his loving wife Elizabeth Hubbard by his side.
Greg was surrounded by his loved ones who will continue to honor his legacy as well as his love for life. He leaves behind his wife Elizabeth Hubbard, mother-in-law Barbara Woods, father in-law and golf buddy Glenn Woods, his former wife Rita Hubbard and children, Tiffany Ahalt (Brad Ahalt), Sharon Riser (Charles Riser), Laura Hubbard and Marshall Hubbard, Jr. His greatest joy was his grandsons, Bailey and Gavin Riser, Logan Wilms and Braden Ahalt.
He instilled gratitude, respect and the importance of a strong work ethic to his children and grandchildren. Greg loved to share his love of grilling, music, boating, fishing, crabbing and golfing with those he loved.
A member of the All-American Chapter Harley Owner Group (Hughesville, MD), he combined his love for riding motorcycles with his wife Elizabeth and other members touring the countryside and raising funds and awareness for various causes.
Fishing was his passion which he shared with his children and grandchildren. Captain Greg and was up early to watch the sunrise on the water and reel in a big catch.
The family would like to extend a special gratitude to Nancy Hardy, MD, the University of Maryland Bone Marrow and Transplant Team, Bilal Ahmed, MD and the CalvertHealth Hemaology & Oncology Team. Their care and compassion allowed Greg to be cared for with respect and dignity in his final days.
Please join his family for a Celebration of Life on Tuesday, September 28 at Rausch Funeral Home located at 20 American Lane, Lusby, Maryland 20657. Visitation will take place from 4:00 to 5:00 pm followed by a service of reflection. Following the service, all are invited to Greg and Elizbeth’s home to continue the celebration of his life.

Dear Elizabeth and Hubbard family.
I was a very close friend to Greg for over 35 years. We spent so many times together, we were fishing buds. We traveled all over America, Grand Bahamas, Mexico, Costa Rica and other countries fishing for marlin and tuna. Greg was a mans man, there is nothing Greg would not do for you. He was a very special person who loved America, deeply respectful of our flag. We laughed and cried together many times. Greg is with the angels and Bobby his dear friend who we loved.
Greg, I will miss you so much, may God bless your soul in haven.
With love and deep respect.

I am so very sorry to hear of Mr. Hubbard’s passing. I worked at Calvert Health Infusion dept when he came in for his infusions. A very kind, gentle soul. We had several “fishing” convos as my Husband is also a fisherman. May you hold each other tight and let the fond memories always keep you connected. My heart goes out to you in the difficult time. Gone but never forgotten. ❤️

Dear Hubbard Family,
Greg was such a good, good man. He loved to cook, to fish, to ride, but more than anything, he loved his family. Greg and Elizabeth shared a close and loving relationship. All one has to do is look at the pictures he posted with his children and grandchildren to know he adored them. Greg fought an heroic battle to stay alive for his family. But I know he is now free of all pain. Love and miss you, Greg.

Greg was very very special, as is Elizabeth. Together they showed us how life can be lived in great fullness. I so admire, respect and love them both. They are still doing it, in spite of his unthinkable death. Greg’s strong spirit is with us everywhere. Elizabeth, I love that you face life as you do. What loving models you and Greg are. Just watching your courage and love has buoyed me for many years.

Dear Elizabeth,
I wish I would have communicated with you sooner, as my husband was going through his transplant, but I couldn’t see beyond five minutes. I can’t imagine what Greg went through as I know my husband felt worse than awful. I’m so so sorry for your loss. I respect Greg’s fight and his decisions. I respect you for standing by him at his darkest as a dear wife. You were his bright flower! I pray you find comfort in the Lord and His love.
