Marshall Bryan Kayser

Marshall Bryan Kayser, 75, of Bartlesville, OK, entered glory on June 1st following a four-year long battle with cancer. Marshall was born on October 26th, 1947, to Carl and Hilda (Janzen) Kayser in Clinton, OK. After graduating from Muskogee High School in 1965, Marshall went on to obtain his Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering from Oklahoma State University in 1970. Marshall began his career as a chemical engineer for Kerr-McGee, and later the National Institute for Petroleum and Energy Research (NIPER) in Bartlesville, OK. In 1976, while very active in the singles ministry at First Baptist Church, Marshall met Kimberley Cook, whom he wed in 1978. Together they remained in Bartlesville where they raised two sons, John Marshall and Bryan Carl. In 1986, following his passion for automobiles, Marshall established Kayser’s Cars & Classics in Dewey, OK, where he continued to operate until retiring in 2015. An avid fly fisherman, classic car enthusiast, pun aficionado and lover of all things sports, Marshall was first and foremost a follower of Jesus. He was a prayer warrior who truly meant it when he said he would pray, interceding on behalf of so many brothers and sisters in Christ. His spiritual gift was service and he faithfully used that gift at First Baptist Church as a deacon and in various other capacities. Marshall joyfully gave many thousands of hours serving at Voice of the Martyrs, The Gideons International, Oklahoma Baptist Disaster Relief, First Baptist grounds crew, widows’ ministry, and as a humble servant to his family and many, many others until ultimately being welcomed to his eternal home. Well done, good and faithful servant. Marshall joins his parents, Carl and Hilda (Janzen) Kayser, in Heaven. He is survived by his wife, Kim, sons John Kayser (grandchildren Evie & Grant) and Bryan Kayser (Keli), (grandchildren James, Norah, and Turner). “Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be the glory in the Church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.” Ephesians 3:20-21 In honor of the many martyrs burned at the stake during the Reformation period, as the Bible was being printed and made available, Marshall insisted on cremation – In the fellowship of His sufferings.
