Donald Joseph Marsh, 62, of Bastrop, Texas, surrounded by his loving family, passed into the arms of his Savior Jesus Christ the evening of April 7, 2021.

Don was the son of Robert and Janet Marsh and was raised in Mountaindale, Maryland. He was a graduate of Governor Thomas Johnson High School in Frederick, MD. Don was married for 42 years to his best friend, Janice Wilson, of Brunswick MD, where together they raised their family.

Don was a God loving family man. He is survived by his wife Janice, daughters Rebecca Marsh, Katie Newton & husband Scott, sister Sherry Marsh of Thurmont MD, niece Jamie Webb and family of Knoxville, MD, grandchildren Lauren Newton-Brazille, Adrian Newton and wife Caitlin, Noelle Joy Newton, and Arielle Grace Newton, all of Bastrop, TX, and great-grandson Cayson Brazille of Jasper, TX.

He began a 28-year career at Pepco Power Plant in Dickerson, MD, as an Operator and spent his final five years as a Workplace Quality Control Specialist in Houston, TX, for NRG. He retired in 2018.

Don had a playful sense of humor and deeply loved spending time with his family. He enjoyed traveling, the night sky, sunrises and sunsets, collecting vinyl records, his dog Lindy, and living in the great state of Texas (he wondered why it took him so long to get there).

He will be fondly remembered by family members Tom & Jane Harrison of Alamogordo, NM, John & Carrie George of Knoxville, MD, Rick & Sandra Moffett of Charles Town, WV, and Dave & Penny Swan of Purcellville, VA, many nieces and nephews, as well as other beloved family and friends.

Don is preceded in death by his parents Robert & Janet Marsh, brother Robert Marsh, Jr., sister Patricia Marsh, maternal grandparents Donald & Marie Kendall, paternal grandparents Harvey & Ella Mash, great grandparents Lewis & Bessie Nusbaum, in-laws, William & Jane Wilson, and Sister-In-Law Cynthia George.

Friends and family were invited to a memorial service on Wednesday, April 14th at 11:00 a.m. at West End Baptist Church in Industry, Texas.

Donald’s life will also be celebrated at a forthcoming Memorial Service in his home state of Maryland.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in memory of Donald for the Glioblastoma Moon Shots Program at MD Anderson Center to help fund brain tumor research. https://www.mdanderson.org/cancermoonshots/cancer-types/ Glioblastoma.html
