My name is Andrea Marsh, and it is with a shattered heart that I share the passing of my beloved husband, Leaford “Tat” Marsh. Tat was not only a devoted husband and father he was the steady, loving center of our family. Losing him has left us devastated as we try to navigate our grief and prepare a honourable farewell for the man who meant so much to us.

For decades, Tat faithfully paid into a life insurance policy that was meant to help cover funeral expenses. Sadly, the policy was a term policy that eventually expired and we were unaware of its expiration date. By the time we discovered that it had ended, Tat had already fallen ill, making it impossible to secure a new policy. This devastating and unexpected circumstance has left us without the support we believed we had prepared for, adding tremendous financial strain to an already unbearable time.

All I want is to honour my husband with the dignity, respect, and love he deserves but my family and I cannot do this alone.

I am reaching out to friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers for support. Every contribution, no matter how small, will go directly toward Tat’s funeral expenses and help us through this painful moment.

If you are unable to give financially, please consider sharing this page with others, and keeping our family in your prayers. Your kindness and support mean more to us than words can express.

No family is ever prepared for a loss like this, not emotionally, spiritually, or financially. Your generosity will allow us to focus on grieving, healing, and remembering a man who worked hard, and showed up for everyone around him.

Thank you for opening your heart during this incredibly difficult time.

Your support and compassion mean more than words can express.
