Tommy Marsh Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Apr. 2, 2024.
Tommy Allan Marsh, 69, of Oklahoma City, OK, passed away on February 15, 2024. He was born on February 8, 1955, in Greenville, OH.

Tommy, known as Tom, was a Navy Veteran who proudly served his country from 1972 to 1980. He was passionate about fishing and spending time at the lake with his family. His loyal companion and fur buddy, Max, was by his side as long as he could care for him. Before Max, there was Rex, who never left his side until his passing.

He is survived by his father Roy D. Marsh, mother Opal A. Marsh, brothers Michael D. Marsh and Clyde R. Marsh, sister Anita S. Smith, daughter Marie McKee, sons Tommy A. Marsh Jr and Joseph Marsh, daughter Nicole Garcia, twelve grandchildren, and one great-grandchild and another in the hanger. Tommy was preceded in death by his late wife, Robin.

A private family service is planned for April 14, 2024 at 12:30 PM to honor Tommy's final wishes of being buried at sea, off the coast of South Padre Island, Texas. In his last days, he looked forward to fishing with Jesus.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to plant a tree in his honor or to the Memorial and Honor Giving | American Cancer Society to support finding a cure for the disease that has affected his family.

Tommy Allan Marsh will be remembered for his dedication to his country, love for fishing and the outdoors, and his cherished time spent with family. May he rest in peace with our Lord and Savior.

Tommy was my big brother! He was my protector when I needed him at age 12 and I would always love him more for having the courage to take care of his baby sister when I truly needed him. It was then that he had to leave and he joined the Navy. I miss you brother!
