William "Bill" Addison Marsh

William “Bill” Addison Marsh, 57, of Bartlesville, joined his sweet daughter Sara Marsh in heaven, when he passed away on Friday, January 3, 2025. Bill was born December 26, 1967, in Bartlesville, to Harry Eugene and Edith Grace (Reynolds) Marsh. He was the youngest of four boys. Bill attended Osage Hills and Dewey High School, graduating in 1986. During his school years, he was a member of Dewey FFA and the Washington County Beef Club. Cattle and ranching was his life. He graduated in Fall 1995 from Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College with an associate’s degree in Farm & Ranch Management. In his early adult years, he showed registered Polled Herefords and won awards, such as Reserved Grand Heifer. He was able to pass down the love of showing cattle to his two daughters, Brittanie and Sara. He also enjoyed working with his nieces, nephews and other youth on their showmanship and loved showing cattle with them. He worked at various ranches throughout his career, from Jack Boyd Smith Ranch east of Bartlesville, to Mead & Cattle Enterprise in Georgia, and Liberty Ranch in Okesa. He was known to have a nice garden and sold his vegetables from his truck at the intersection of Gap Road and Highway 123. Bill had a sweet smile and would give a particular side-eye with a twinkle in his eyes. He was a talker, saying “and um everything” numerous times to keep a person engaged in the conversation longer. The happy gossiper enjoyed calling his certain group of people every single week. He loved talking to friends about OU Football, Hereford cattle and going on lunch trips to Simple Simon’s Pizza. Another of his favorite pastimes was sitting out on his lawn chair and taking in the peaceful surroundings. He truly loved spending time with his grandsons, Elliott and Ezra. Bill is survived by his daughter, Brittanie Marsh; three brothers, Harry Lee Marsh, Jim Marsh and wife Merlene, Jeff Marsh and wife Melinda; two grandchildren, Elliott Hubbard, and Ezra Richardson; and eight nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, Harry and Edith Marsh; and daughter, Sara Marsh. A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. Friday, January 10, 2025, at Matoaka Baptist Church with Pastor Sherman Jaquess officiating. Inurnment will follow at White Rose Cemetery. In lieu of flowers please send a memorial donation to The Journey Home. Arrangements are under the direction of Carter Davis and Davis Family Funeral Home – Dewey Chapel, 113 S.
