s/o Elmer and Agnes (Brady) Marsh; h/o Betty (Page) Marsh

He graduated from Ashland High School in 1955 and earned an associate’s degree from Manchester Technical Institute in 1957.

Don was an avid hunter, going on hunting trips to Maine, Alaska, British Columbia, Newfoundland, and in 1989 he went to Namibia, fulfilling his lifelong dream of hunting in Africa.

He was a lifetime auto enthusiast, spending his entire working career as an award-winning boat mechanic and was known as a person who could build or fix anything. He loved snowmobiling, go-kart racing, and was a big NASCAR fan. He also loved classic cars and spent 4½ years rebuilding a 1941 Chevy Hot Rod Truck with his son. The Hot Rod, known as the “Copper Penny,” was a staple of every Fourth of July Parade in Ashland for many years as well as several local Cruise Nights that he and Betty attended weekly.

Don was an important member of the community. He served on the Pemi Fish and Game Club’s Board of Directors for many years, organized a local snowmobile club and spent countless hours maintaining the trails with a groomer he built himself, and was a beloved member of the Ashland Baptist Church congregation as well as serving as a church deacon for several years.

He was predeceased by two brothers, Thomas (Punky) Marsh and Eddie Marsh.
