Gerald Emery Marsh's Obituary
Gerald “Jerry” Marsh, 75, of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, passed away on November 6, 2025.
Jerry was born on February 16, 1950, in Warren, Ohio, to Floyd Marsh Sr. and Marie Ferguson. He proudly served his country as a member of the United States Army, carrying with him throughout life the same strength, humor, and dedication he showed in service.
After his time in the Army, Jerry found his calling on the open road. He worked for many years as a truck driver, earning the respect and friendship of countless people along the way. Known for his quick wit and big heart, Jerry could turn any long haul—or any day—into something fun and memorable.
On June 13, 1980, Jerry married the love of his life, Norene Hale, beginning a 45-year adventure filled with laughter, travel, unconditional love and devotion. Together, they built a life centered on family, faith, hope and the simple joys of being together.
Jerry especially loved spending time at the lake, porch sitting with his daughter Melissa, hanging with her and her friends always known as “Dad” to the crew and coaching Little League baseball for his son, where he was affectionately known as Coach Jerry. His great sense of humor, kind spirit, and genuine love for people made him a friend to everyone he met.
Above all, Jerry was a devoted husband, father, and friend. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
Jerry is preceded in death by his parents.
Jerry is survived by his wife Norene Marsh, daughter Melissa Hoss, son Jared Marsh and wife Jerusha, grandchildren David, Naysa, Izzy, Rebecca, Gabe, Cloey, Josey, Emery, Xander, along with numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, friends and loved ones.
