It is with great sadness that we share the news of our Past Master Jeffrey H. Marsh’s passing.

His children have provided the following details for his Memorial Service and Celebration of Life:

Memorial Service
Friday, September 12th, 6:00 PM
Woodlawn Funeral Home, 1101 Antoine Dr, Houston, TX 77055

Celebration of Life
Saturday, September 13th, beginning at 5:00 PM
Cadillac Bar, 1802 Shepherd Dr, Houston, TX 77007

This will be a casual gathering for close friends and family to remember Jeff in the way he would have loved best—watching college football and cheering on his Florida Gators. Food, drinks, and photos will be shared, and in honor of his alma mater, guests are asked to wear blue & orange / University of Florida attire.

This is a come-and-go event, so please feel free to stay for just a few minutes or a few hours. Most importantly, we look forward to sharing stories and celebrating Brother Jeff’s life together.

R.I.P. Worshipful Brother!
