Asheville Butterfly TrailLloyd Bertram Marsh IV, 54, of Fletcher, North Carolina, passed away unexpectedly on Monday, September 29, 2025. Born on March 8, 1971, in Pompton Plains, New Jersey, Lloyd lived a life defined by generosity, laughter, and an unwavering love for his family.
Lloyd attended the University of Arizona, where he earned a degree in finance. After graduation, he began a successful career with Merrill Lynch and later on Morgan Stanley as a financial advisor, where he was known among colleagues not only for his talent and integrity but also for his humor and warm spirit. On April 20, 1996, Lloyd married the love of his life, Dana. Together, they built a home filled with joy, laughter, and care, raising three children: Caroline, Jack, and Lily. Lloyd was endlessly proud to be a husband and father, and poured his heart into creating lasting memories with his children.
Those who knew Lloyd will remember his good-humored personality and his natural ability to make others feel uplifted. Whether through a witty remark or his welcoming presence, he made certain those around him were enjoying themselves. His compassion was unmatched, and he was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone who needed him.
Outside of work and family, Lloyd embraced life’s joys with enthusiasm. A dedicated sports fan, he rooted passionately (most of the time) for the New York Jets, New York Yankees, and Arizona Wildcats. He loved time on the lake, relishing days on the water with family, and found great happiness on the golf course, especially alongside his son and friends. Meals and drinks shared with loved ones were among his favorite moments, as they gave him the chance to connect, laugh, and celebrate the bonds he held most dear.
Lloyd is survived by his beloved wife, Dana; his children, Caroline (Cole), Jack, and Lily; and his mother, Margaret Marsh. He was preceded in death by his father, Lloyd Marsh III.
Lloyd’s life was a testament to kindness, joy, and devotion to family. His memory will live on in the love he gave, the laughter he inspired, and the countless lives he touched.

Dana, Caroline, Jack and Lilly, my heart goes out to all of you. I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you all.
The TRUTH is we could not have found a better friend and advisor to guide us in our finances.
I know he is in a better place now and the Lord will watch over his family.
Rest in PEACE my friend.
Semper Fi. Skip and Cindy
Lloyd was a great man. He was like a father figure to us, whether he was there making breakfast & dinners for us kids that came over, giving some good advice that was brutally honest and you needed to hear, or just making you laugh he was a person I looked up to and genuinely got excited to see. He cared deeply about those in his life and those that were able to get to know him were blessed as time with Lloyd seemed to just be easier. Thanks for making my childhood a good time & full of good memories. Rest easy Lloyd ❤️ prayers for the entire family as they try and get through this time.
My heart breaks for you Dana, Caroline, Jack & Lily. No words can make this situation better. If I learned anything from losing both of my parents time does help but you will never forget. Remember the husband and dad who loved you and would do anything for you. Don’t get me wrong he could be a pain in the ass sometimes but that is why we love him…
Lloyd and his family were regular customers at Beefs!! Always had a good time with him and his family. Many great talks and laughs over the years . I can only pray for peace and comfort in the days to come. I’m so very sorry 😞
Lloyd was my friend, advisor, and occasional therapist for 30 years.
He even occasionally helped me deliver Calabash Chicken. I wore a kitchen apron. He sported suspenders.
I will miss our chats, our friendship, our sharing the occasional pint.
Prayers for his family, comfort to the many hearts that are hurting.
RIP my friend.
May God provide His perfect strength and grace for these very difficult days to navigate. Prayers and love to the entire family.
Marsh, family I trusted and respected Lloyd more than I could ever say. He Loved and respected his family. He took care of my business, God be with you all.
He was one of my greatest friends in my entire life. Laughter, integrity, intelligence, and kindness, but mostly laughter. All fine traits he shared with everyone he touched. Prayers and comfort to the Marsh family.
May his memory be a blessing. We send our most sincere condolences to you, Dana and Caroline, Jack and Lily. Lloyd was so proud of each of you and was especially excited about Caroline’s wedding. We always stayed on the phone with him too long, talking about our beloved Yankees! His professional advice and counsel was greatly appreciated and his affability was his strong trait. His family, friends and clients will miss him.
Lloyd Marsh was our advisor for at least the last 20 years but foremost he was our friend. God put together the perfect formula of integrity, honesty, caring, warmth and laughter and imparted the gift to the world when he created Lloyd Marsh. Anytime I had lunch with him or spoke to him I always left with a smile, a warm feeling and the knowledge Lloyd would always be caring for us as well as our investments. He always shared his pride in his family. Enjoy the rewards you earned Lloyd. I look forward to seeing you again someday. I am proud to say you were my friend.
Caroline-my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time of sorrow and sadness. I do know the feeling of the loss of a father. I don’t know your family, but I do, because I know you. Sending hugs and love to you. 🙏🏻✝️
