Wilbert Y. Marsh

Wilbert Marsh, a cherished patriarch, and friend to all, passed away on December 30, 2025, at the age of 86, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and an admirable work ethic. Born on June 2, 1939, in Holly, Michigan, Wilbert's life was one of dedication and joy, which he spread generously throughout his community.
Wilbert's life was marked by his enduring devotion to his family. He was a loving father to his sons, Don and his wife Sonia, and Daniel and his wife Amy. His spirit will live on through his grandchildren, Jessica, Shane, Molly and her partner Ryan, Aliyah and her husband Josh, Hayley, and Danny. He was also a doting great-grandfather to Jackson, Annabelle, Macy, Gaia, Daniel, Aurora, Joey, and Michael. Wilbert was preceded in death by his beloved wife Victoria, who was his partner in every aspect of life since their marriage in Flint, Michigan, and by his sisters Elsie and Norma, and his great-grandchild Goose.
Wilbert's professional life was as varied as it was long. He was known for his skills in tire and auto repair, his delicious baking, his efficiency as a short-order cook, and his ability to turn his hand to farm work and home repairs. His versatility in his work was matched only by his commitment to quality and service. Those who knew Wilbert through his professional endeavors admired his work ethic and his knack for solving problems with a smile.
An avid outdoorsman, Wilbert found solace and excitement in hunting and fishing, hobbies that he pursued with great passion. He was also a fervent fan of wrestling, and many will recall the joy with which he would watch his favorite matches on TV, cheering on his wrestling heroes with the same enthusiasm he brought to every aspect of his life.
Wilbert was the epitome of generosity, always the first to offer help to a neighbor in need. His sense of humor was infectious, and he had a unique ability to lift the spirits of those around him, no matter the circumstance.
In every corner of his life, Wilbert Marsh was a man who gave freely of himself, who worked hard, and who loved even harder. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who had the pleasure of knowing him. His legacy of kindness, skill, and humor will continue to inspire those he has left behind. As we say goodbye to Wilbert, we also say thank you – for the laughter, the lessons, and the love.
Per Wilbert's wishes cremation has taken place and no services are planned at this time.
