Phillip Marsh Obituary

Marsh, Phillip Albert Christopher, of Coral Springs, FL, was unexpectedly taken from us September 20th, 2009. He was born in Colorado Springs, CO on July 24th, 1963. Phillip was a loving son, devoted brother, adored uncle, and a generous, extraordinary friend. An avid Florida Gator, class of '87, he rarely missed a game. He spent his entire career as a medical sales executive for Physician Sales and Service, where he was nationally renowned and loved by the physicians and medical staff he served. Every Valentine's Day, elegantly dressed in a tuxedo, he delivered thousands of roses to all his clients and to any who offered a smile. Phillip was a lector and Eucharistic Minister at St. Mary Magdalene Episcopal Church in Coral Springs for many years. As a devout Christian, he also served as a youth minister. He was a gourmet and gourmand, always opening his warm home and heart to his family and friends. With his wonderful meals he loved to share his great wines from his extensive wine collection. He was a long time member of the Florida state champion Lacrosse team, an adventure loving traveler, self taught linguist, scuba diver, and skier, he loved and lived with gusto. His "Phillisms" filled the world with laughter and wisdom and the word of God. He lived life to the "Phillist." Phillip is survived by his mother Heidi Marsh Munsey of Overland Park, KS; sister Nanci Hirschorn and her husband Steve of Overland Park, KS; sister Pat Marsh of West Palm Beach, FL; sister Michelle Marsh of Coral Springs, FL; brother Dr. Michael Marsh and his wife Whitney of Fort Smith, AR; nephews and nieces Paul Piszko, Ashley Hirschorn, Lindsey Hirschorn, Carlie Siegel, Nicholas Marsh, Courtney Siefel, Christopher Marsh, Sarah Marsh, Madison Marsh and Heidi Marsh. He is also survived by Aunt Sigrid Lohmann, cousins Ralph and Klaus Lohmann of Heidelberg, Germany. He was preceded in death by his father, Chaplain (Col.) Arthur H. Marsh, who will receive him in heaven. The family requests in lieu of flowers that donations be made to the Phillip Marsh Foundation, which will benefit needy children. Please send donations to the Phillip Marsh Foundation, c/o Ira Marcus PA 1313 South Andrews Ave., Ft. Lauderdale, FL, 33316. A memorial service to celebrate his life will be held Saturday, September 26, 2009, 11:00am at St. Mary Magdalene Episcopal Church, 1400 Riverside Drive, Coral Springs, Florida 33071. Phillip will be greatly missed by his devastated family and friends. Arrangements entrusted to: Kraeer Funeral Home & Cremation Center, 1655 University Drive, Coral Springs, FL 33071, (954) 753-8960

I was so sad to hear about Philips death. I met Philip when he was District Mgr in Dallas for PSS. You alway know when Philip entered the office. He always filled the office with singing or laughter. I really enjoyed getting to know him and really admired his tenacity and passion for sales. I remember he always was on the leaderboard and won many awards. We remained friends for many years. He always shared his love for his sisters, family and especially his nieces. He lived life large and I am so glad I got to know him. Philip was the type of person you never forget. He had such a passion for life, family and of course the Gators. I know he was a very bright light and it is so sad his passion for life did not get shared for a longer period of time. I know he is missed by his family and friends because Philip is someone you never forget.

Not an hour goes by without a thought of you. It has been 7 years and 2 days since we lost you, my sweet brother, and the pain and loss cannot get better with time. My mind knows that you are gone, but my heart still will never believe it. You are here, and always will be...in our hearts and thoughts...and I know that you are watching over us constantly. Love and miss you every moment of every day, Phillip. XOXOXOXOXO

How can it possibly be 5 years ago today that we lost you? Our hearts and lives are forever broken.

If tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane, I would walk right up to heaven and bring you and Mom home again. I know you must be so happy to have our beloved Mom with you now, and know that you met her in heaven with an armful of her favorite roses and that you are dancing together. Love and miss you forever and always.

There is not a moment in a day that I don't think about you. I miss you so very much, Phillip. Our family is so empty without you. Yesterday was 2 years since we lost you, and life will never be the same again. Please know that although you may be gone, you will never be forgotten and will live forever in the hearts of your family and every heart you touched. I love you, my sweet brother!!!

My beloved Phillip, it has been 2 years now and I cannot stop feeling your presence, watching over me with my parents. If you were here we would not stop laughing and jumping in the pool at 1am. Looking at your pictures still hurts, and makes me smile at the same time, but I also know life goes on. But you,I will never forget ! Forever yours. x o

You were the best brother anyone could wish for, and you are missed more than you can possibly imagine. I will love and miss you forever and look forward to the day that you and Daddy meet me at heaven's gate. Please continue to watch over all of us - your family, friends and loved ones. We will be thinking of you always.

Hi Phillip, It is Todd and Kim again. I just mentioned you to Todd last night and I am sure you would get a kick out of what I said. I was placing calendar events into my phone and I just started laughing, Todd asked me what was so funny. It brought me back 2-3 years, we were at the airport and I begin to look at my paper calendar journal. You asked, let me look at that, I thought you were admiring my busy productive life, then you handed it back to me and said,"hello, the 80's called, they want their calendar back!" True form of Phillip Marsh. We miss you more than you'll know.

Phillip, a year has passed and I still can hear your voice in my ear. I have felt your presence with me to calm me when needed and know that my father has met you by now. We will meet in a different time & place. I hope your family have peace knowing that you are ok and in a safe place. I still don't know why you were taken, but one day the answer will come. I send you lots of kisses and will blow them up to you. xxxx forever

Phillip, You have been in my heart and prayers since I found out about your passing. I am so sorry I was not at your "Celebration of Life". Pat and I still have the orchid you gave us when we bought our first house - in shades of garnet and gold. I know that was hard for a Gator lover to buy for a Seminole. Thank you for your friendship and support. You will always be remembered for your love of life, crazy laugh and amazing sales skills. You were one of a kind and I am thankful that we were friends. I know you are loving life in Heaven and are spreading smiles wherever you go, just like you did down here. Your life was blessed and I will learn one day why you were taken so quickly. Smile in peace, Phillip. Hugs and Laughs,
Whitney

Phillip,
It has been more than seven months now, but it still feels like yesterday...and still not possible somehow. Maybe it's because you continue to inspire. You remain in my thoughts and prayers and heart. You will always be the best friend I could ever hope for (aside from Christine- sorry I had to qualify that, but you know she has dibs). Your spirit continues to live on in your family and the many friends and strangers you touched over the years. Thanks for always being there to talk, to offer an opinion, to celebrate life. You will be missed always! Looking forward to giving you a big hug in heaven. Go Gators!
In Christ's Love,
Brian Goding

Dear Michelle,
What a wonderful surprise we had today when you appeared in our office with three beautiful yellow roses. Just yesterday I thought about your brother (our PSS Rep) and how we would miss his delivery of Valentine's Day roses. How touching it was to know that you are keeping his tradition alive this year and how hard this must be for you. Your kindness left all of us in tears. Please know that others are missing Phillip too.
Love,

Philip
I haven't had the courage to write. I just saw a picture that is posted of the fundraiser you did for Mikey. I'll never forget when you met me at the gas station to pick up the picture of Mikey. You were soo touched by his story and just wanted to help a fellow lax player and gator fan): I bet you're smilin watching Mikey play kickball and football with his friends. He even won treasurer for his school recently. You truly touched our hearts and so many others. Laura Stolzenberg

December 8, 2009

Dear Phil,
I met you a year ago today!! You were on a date, she was kind of a drag, I was your waitress. I remember being impressed by the bottle of wine you ordered, not too flashy or expensive, just a really good wine. When you came back later and asked for my number, you told me you lost interest in your date when you saw me. You were always so sweet. I am so glad we became friends...I think about you often, and I really do miss you. I can't bring myself to take your number out of my phone.
Love love love to you and your family, I wish we could have had more time.

I was very fortunate to meet Phillip in 1996 through work and as the years passed we became good friends. It's been a while since Phill has passed but the shock of loosing him is still here.
I have fond memories of our friendship and I think about him all the time. I miss his deeply thoughtful personality, his love of good conversation, and his gift of elevating the spirits of those around him. I can still see his smiling face and hear his infectious laughter. He was someone I could have deep conversations with and then would turn around and make me laugh over silly things until tears rolled down my face. I miss him so much!
His indomitable nature and sheer willpower to live life to the fullest has inspired me more than he'll ever know. He was a very special friend and will never be forgotten.

I was on my way to Miami to meet up with Phillip when I found out what happened. My sincere condolences go out to his family. Everyone was marked by him in some way. He made me smile and laugh with his 5:30am phone calls. I know he is in a good place, not as good as down here with all his people, but in the good hands of our Father and his. Phillip, a toast to you, and until we meet again. Save a dance for me, what we could not have down here in SoBe. xx

Just like when he was a young boy, all of a sudden, Phillip landed on my doorstep in Williamsburg VA a few years ago, late at night. It had been 30 years since we'd seen each other and I hardly recognized him except for that unmistakable gleam in his eyes and an ear to ear grin. He brought a couple of bottles of nice red wine and we sat up talking until about 3am. We remained in touch through phone calls and email and I was so happy that he'd popped back into our lives. And then I saw a side of Phillip I had missed when he was a teenager. My father died and Phillip immediately made plans to come to his "Celebration of Life" as we called it. He arrived without even knowing exactly where he was going to stay and became an integral part of the day's events. He was the transportation, the logistics guy, the bartender, the DJ and the photographer! Everything done with his special "Phillip Flair". That day, standing on our deck, Phillip turned to me and said with enthusiasm, "Good job! Your father would have loved this and this is exactly what I want when I die, a party, a "Celebration of Life!" ....................
whew, It's taken me about a month to be able to get that out without crying and I still have to hold back the tears. We love you Dear Phillip and know you are still doing good work for those who need your love, your enthusiasm, your flair, and your generosity.

Hi, sweetheart! I'm missing you so much every day. I wish you had been at Ashley and Jeremy's wedding - but you WERE there - I know it! I could feel your presence there. It was the most beautiful and wonderful wedding I have ever been to, and I know that you would have been up there with the band singing your heart out. I know that life goes on, but it is so hard to do it without you. I don't think I will ever understand why God took you from us. You lived, and loved, life more than anyone I have ever known. I know you tried so hard to instill in me to live my life, and I promise I will try my best to do so. I can't imagine the holidays without you - and without your ever huge and glorious Christmas trees, not to mention the fabulous meals, but I know you will be with us in spirit. I love you with all my heart, Phillip, and always will. I will miss you until we see each other again in heaven. You will never, ever be forgotten - not a single minute in my life. Love you forever.

My sincere condolences to the family of Phillip. I've had the pleasure of meeting Phillip as a PSS Rep for 3 accounts he had with Mr. Palazzolo. Phillip was always there and always knew what he was talking about in reference to his products. He represented the company in a very "fine" way and was always a gentleman. He will be truly missed.

October 6, 2009

Dear Marsh Family,

Phillip was a wonderful man and a great friend. I first met Phillip when we served together in several ministries at church and although I moved to a different church years ago we always remained friends. We spoke many times over the years about our faith and I will always treasure those conversations and the wonderful friend Phillip was.
I love the Seminoles like he loved his Gators and the last time I saw Phillip which was only about 10 days before he left us, he told me his niece was now "unfortunately" at FSU so he was sorry we got beat by the Canes.
I am so very sorry for the loss of Phillip. He truly was one of a kind and I know that I am a better person for having known him and I will never forget the joy and the enthusiasm that he lived his life with and brought to those around him.
My thoughts and my prayers are with you all.
With Love,
Kriste LaMay

Phillip, You were one of my favourite guests at Su-Shin Japanese Restaurant. You brought bright light into, sometimes, dismal evenings. You are an extraordinary soul...Always entertaining, to John and I anyway. Much of your humour wasn't understood. That, in itself, was funny! I'll remember your smile and THAT LAUGH forever.
You're one in a million. How you'll be missed.
To his family: Phillip has just gone away for a bit. My prayers are with all of you.

My heart is still sad that I will never get to have another conversation with Phillip again. He made me laugh, made me mad and made me feel apprecaited. We always enjoyed joking with each other and catching up. He was a very caring man who lived life to the fullest. He will be missed. My heart goes out to his family!

My deepest sympathy goes out to the Marsh family. Phillip has always had and always will hold a special place in my heart. I have had the priviledge of knowing Phillip for over 18 years. It is still very hard for me to except this tragedy. Phillip was one of the most kindest individual I have ever known. I am grateful that I had the pleasure of knowing him. Peace be with you all during this difficult time. He loved his family so much.

October 1, 2009

Dear the Marsh family and close friends,

Bill and I met Phillip and his sister Michelle at some local wine tastings. Phillip had just extended an invite to dinner when he returned from his travels. We thought he was so kind and considerate. I wish we had more time to get to know him. I am sure he will be sorely missed.

Much love, Bill and Julie Harper

Deepest sympathy to the Marsh family. Phil was my PSS rep and I remember on Valentine's Day he would come to the office dressed in a tux and hand out roses to the women. Then we would bump into each other at Home Depot or other places and he was just the warmest and kindest person one can meet. He will be truly missed. It is an unexpected time for him to go back to God but only he knows why he needed Phil there and not here. Peace and Deepest Sympathy.

I never met Phillip and just happened upon his memorial site today. His eyes and smile caught me immediately. As I read thru the site, sadness overcame me and I sit here with tears in my eyes. God bless him and his family, who obviously loved him so much. It is apparent a wonderful man has left us too soon.

Phillip will always hold a special place in my heart. I met him in 1991 at First Med Walk In Center. It was my birthday and he showed up with Roses and a card. From that day on we remained very close friends over the past 19 years. He always knew how to make me smile, but most of all we had something in common that kept our bond, the death of our fathers. I will never forget Phillip and thank god everyday for the times that we spent together. He was a precious gift to me as well as anyone who had the opportunity to know him. He will be missed. May God Bless you my friend.

Deepest Sympathies to Phillips family. I met Phillip and Michelle when I worked at their auto mechanic. Phillip was a funny loving and sweet man. He was a man that, if you knew him you would never forget him; and one you wish you knew if you didn't.
May God Bless you and give you strength to celebrate Phillips life with all!

My heart goes out to the Marsh family. I never got the opportunity to meet Phillip but knew so much about him from one of my best friends Pat (one of Phillips sisters)! You were a wonderful man that lived life to the fullest! May God Bless you now and lead you into the blessed eternity! Your time here was short but very powerful with all the lives you touched! My deepest condolences to the Marsh family for the loss of Phillip. Take comfort in knowing that our Lord has a greater reason for needing Phillip now! And that he is safe in our Fathers arms! God bless you all and give you the strength to get through this time until you see Phillip again!

My deepest sympathy to the Marsh family. I have not seen Phillip in some time, he was my sales rep from PSS at park place therapeutic center. I have thought of him often. He was one of the kindest, sweetest and most gentle souls I have ever met. I am sure he is deeply missed already.

JoAnne Lefelstein (Stowe)

September 27, 2009

I can't even begin to tell you how shocked and saddened I feel at the news of Phillip's death. Phillip was one of my most favorite people in the entire world. I met Phillip back in St. Petersburg, FL in the old PSS days. We were even room mates for a time. I haven't talked to Phillip for several years, and have had the best intentions of reconnecting with him. In fact, I found out of his death after Googeling his name, in effort of contacting him. I will always remember the friendship Phillip and I shared. I so enjoyed all of our dancing, eating and more than anything, our laughing sessions. My heart aches for this tragic loss. My life was truly blessed by my friendship with Phillip.

September 26, 2009

Dear Marsh Family,

Gary and I are so saddened at the news of Phillip's death. We are very sorry we were not there to be a part of he memorial service, but we understand many people came to express their love for Phillip. That was only right because Phillip was full of love and gave of himself every place he went. How fortunate we were to have him and how very much are we going to miss his smile and fun loving spirit.

Our condolences to the Marsh family and God be with you in your loss. The seminarians of School of Theology at Sewanee have added Phillip and the family to their prayer list for this month. May you feel the comfort from all those who love you.

Phillip, may you and your friends rest in peace and light perpetual be upon you.

I can't believe what has happened. I was with you just a couple of days before you left to the Gator's game. You came and ate lunch with me in my office, and as usual, put a smile on my face with your contagious love of life. Whenever you would come to my office, I would just feel less stressed out because we would just hang for a few minutes and talk and laugh. You always had a great joke to share. Even though we only knew each other less than 2 years, you made sure you came to my parties, and get-togethers. This past Valentine's day you were the first one to give me a rose and remind me that I was special. I can't believe we made plans to go to the Indian restaurant when you got back and now that will never happen. You are such a wonderful person who spread joy wherever you went. You will greatly be missed and will never be forgotten.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Marsh family.

I have wonderful memories of the guy in school who was so full of life, that he made our journey so much better. I can remember our stomachs hurting from laughter, and our face aching from the smiles that would not leave us when Phil was in our presence. A beautiful person in so many ways; our lives without him will be a little bit dimmer without his light.

Phillip, we were just at the Gator game! I still have the Saturday night text message where I said to you, “The game was a little more competitive than expected, which made it more exciting.” You didn’t think it was so exciting, and in your typical fashion said, “Like kissin ur sister.” You always knew how to crack me up, and I’m still laughing at that one.

You know, it is nearly impossible to believe that you are no longer here, Phillip. Some of our mutual customers feel the same way, too, and in fact I talked with them this week about how difficult it will be without you. But more importantly, you should know they cared deeply about you and they realized how much you cared for them. Thank God I had 15 years to know you, Phillip. You have taught me much, and I will definitely miss our deep, philosophical and religious talks. The world is a better place as a result of you being here, and at this moment I am sure God is saying to you, “Well done my good and faithful servant.”

Bob Digiannurio

September 25, 2009

Phil my memories of you will be long, no they will be endless. You called me on Saturday just before you got on that plane to tell me where you were going, and for that I will be always grateful, but to know it would be the last I would have held you on the phone longer to tell you some other things, like thank you for listening to me, thank you for the friendship wanting nothing in return but my friendship, thanks for trusting me with your thoughts and feelings and never and I mean never being anything but honest with me. I so much enjoyed our times and especially our lunch we had on your birthday (remember what you were yelling to that guy out of the car). Ya know Phil you once said to me that I was the only mechanic that could put up with you, well pal it was a pleasure and an honor. I would have loved to have more time with you, BUT, I guess I will just have to wait till its my time to come to Gods Kingdom where you sit right know. One thing I'm sure of Phil, you blessed many while here and now you are blessed with the ultimate blessing, Jesus Christ. I'll see you in the twinkling of an eye. No goodbye's pal just an I'll see ya. Have a GREEEEEEEEEAT Time Bob

PHILLIP, MILLIONS OF RED ROSES BLOOM IN YOUR NAME

To those of us who have had the wonderful pleasure of sharing this world with Phillip, know that every breath, every thought, every word, and every action this man took was for a greater good than himself. His sincerity, his warmth, his compassion, his quick-witted sarcasm, his camaraderie, his benevolence, and his sense of humor 'philled' our lives with countless moments of joy, laughter and gratitude. Phillip was above all things, a friend, a REAL friend to all of us. As I sit here and write this final note remembering countless conversations we've had which made Lynda and I simultaneously burst into laughter, or the many delicious meals you've prepared for us, I can't help but chuckle to myself at all the silly memories we've shared. I guess the lumps in our throats will wane slowly, the heaviness in our hearts will lighten with each passing day, but I know this world will never be the same without you. I also know that you'd want us to celebrate your life as you did here on this earth, with good food and wine and copious amounts of laughter. As difficult as it is to accept that you're gone, we take solace in knowing you're in Heaven more than likely preparing a gourmet meal for all the other Angels at this very moment. Good bye for now my friend, you're in my heart. My thoughts, prayers and healing continue to be with The Marsh family.

To Michelle and the rest of the Marsh family,

I am so saddened to hear of the loss of this loving man who was so special to all of you.

I have such fond memories from when Phillip was a gangly goofy teenager who LOVED to hang out with the girls to his metamorphosis into a great man who had such respect and care for others.

My heart goes out to you all for your loss.

Philip was an extraordinary man with great gusto for life. He graced the world with his presence. He will be greatly missed in the Fort Lauderdale area and by many all over this world. Our love and condolences are extended to his family. "Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his Saints" Psalm 116 15. Renee Alexis (Plantation FL)

I've known Phillip for over 25 years. I'm having a hard time accepting the fact that he is gone. I counted on him frequently to help me with special orders, maintaining office equipment, supplies... He was my "go to" person. I called you on 9/21/09 and your message center was full. I knew something was wrong. You were always at the other end of the phone any time I needed you. When you were on the phone and I'd get your voice message, it was your "have a G-R-E-A-T day" that I will always hold in my heart. I'll miss you. Christy

I am deeply saddened and my hope is that his family and friends take comfort and healing in their memories with him. My thoughts and prayers go out to all who knew and loved Phillip.
