Kevan Basil Marsh of Saginaw, MI

Beloved husband, son, brother, uncle, cousin, and friend, passed away suddenly after a long and valiant battle with ALS/Lou Gehrigs Disease, on Monday, January 27, 2020. He was 66 years old.

Kevan Marsh, a son of Midland, was born to the late James Pete Marsh and Patt Olds Marsh. He was a proud 1971 Graduate of Midland High School. While there he played football and baseball.

Upon graduation, he attended Michigan State University, where he had the time of his life, becoming a full fledged and lifelong Spartan. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in 1985. He received his Masters in Business Administration from Saginaw Valley State College in 1986.

He married Trish Maziarz on May 18, 2002 in Saginaw, MI. She survives him, and was the love of his life.

He was employed as First Vice President and Financial Advisor with Morgan Stanley, retiring after many years of service. His work in this role was one of his greatest passions in life. He loved helping people understand how important it was to plan for their financial future.

Kevan was an avid outdoorsman and sportsman. It was a source of bonding time with his family. No brown trout or white tail deer was safe when he was on the hunt. He loved playing softball, golf and downhill skiing and attended many collegiate and professional sporting events. Kevan played competitive softball until he was 40, primarily for the Jock Shop Travel Team. He was active in the National Paddle Ball Association for many years by being a fierce competitor and also helping with many local tournaments. He had a passion for hunting, fishing, and just being out in the woods as often as he could. Kevan and Trish travelled extensively, and especially enjoyed fun times with their cruise group and many happy days on the beaches in Florida with Scott and Vicki Wilson.

Kevan was a very active member in several Masonic orders. He was initiated into Salina Lodge No. 155 F. & A.M. in Saginaw and was transferred to Saginaw Lodge No. 77 where he served in several offices and was elected Worshipful Master for 2005. He became a 32nd Degree Mason in the Bay City Scottish Rite, serving in many offices including Sovereign Prince of the Council and on the Board of Trustees. Kevan had a real passion for the Bay City Scottish Rites Childrens Dyslexia Center and has served on its Board of Governors since its inception. For all of his diligent and faithful work, he was coroneted a 33rd Degree Scottish Rite Mason for the Northern Masonic Jurisdiction in Boston, Massachusetts on August 25, 2009. He was created a Noble of Elf Khurafeh Shriners International where he also served in several capacities, including the Ritualistic Cast, as the Investment Advisor, and was a strong supporter of the Shriners International Childrens Hospitals.

Surviving are Kevans spouse, Trish, mother Patt Marsh, sister Dr. Michaele (Robert) Jaime, sister Jamie (Les) Kellogg, brother Eric (Mara Lee) Marsh, sisters-in-law Monica (Steve) Birchmeier, Catherine Worden, Vicki Popp (Dave Connors), many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
