I am so sad son that you are no longer just a phone call away. or a 5 min. drive. I am selfesh in the fact that I will no longer be able to hug you or tell you, “I love you” or go shopping together.My heart is broke. Mom loves you so very much. It’s not right, I want you back, I want to play the boo game. I want to hear you laugh,I want to talk about sports, I want to see you do your silly dance, I want to cook you dinner.But it’s all gone now. I have our good times to get me through, and please Michael I need you/to help Mom. You are my blessing child.Love and Prayers, Mom

My dear nephew, so sorry we didn’t get to see you these past years. I know you are safe with our Great Spirit, our relatives and ancestors. We pray for your family now to find peace and love in the memories of you. Know that your family here at Lummi Nation think of you with love and prayers always.

My heart goes out to you Michael, as well as your sisters, brother, mother and father. Although I did not get to know you since we were kids I have always prayed for you, your children as well as your nephews and nieces also. Every morning I say a prayer for our family, and I will do my best to say another prayer for you. I was fortunate to spend time with our grampa Toby when I was younger and I know our grandparents are there with you now. Once again my prayers are there for you, and especially our family…
Dear Dave, Anna and all the Toby Family. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with during this difficult time. Your neighbors and friends, Tom, Julie and Kids
I’m so sorry that Mike is gone. Mike and I shared many years together, good and bad, and we made two beautiful children together, Jordan and Tyler. We loved each other very much for many many years and I know he knew God and is at peace now. A memory that always sticks out is when Jordan was a baby, he loved to play with her and move her around and have her on his shoulders, even after she would eat..and Jordan would throw up on him, twice in his hair and once in his mouth! He would be grossed out of a second and go right back to playing with her. Tyler is his spitting image and great at sports! He will live on in ways through his children! God bless you all, I’m sorry I couldn’t be there with all of you and I love you all very much!
Mike, I remember Pizza, when you were 15, we had pizza at mom and pete’s. It was a good thing. I am grateful I got to know you a little bit. To the family, I love you all and always have and always will and am so sorry for your loss.
Love, Julie
I am sorry for your loss. I like to believe that when we lose someone close, they still live through us and give us strength. The time we have spent with those we’ve lost makes them part of us. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
We send our sincerest sympathies to Michael’s family for their tragic loss. May he rest in peace.
God bless,
Sandi, Missy, and Savannah.
To my little brother…thank you for letting me be your big sister. We have had so many good times. I give many thanks to God for letting us have you for 36 years…but for some reason it just doesn’t seem like enough. I will miss you terribly. I love you always.
Kelly K.Toby
Mike used to tease me about being short. He called me “Stubb” and we all thought it was hilarious, even me! Mike’s sense of humor was sharp as a tac and always delivered at the perfect moment for maximum impact. I haven’t had the opportunity to visit with Mikey for many years and I am sad to hear of his passing. I send my love to the entire Toby network of family and friends and especially to my best Friend Kelly, Mikey’s sister who I know loves him with all her heart. I love you Toby Family. May peace be with all of you during this difficult time.
Mike-I know you want the credit for Kelly and I getting together after 18 years…I got to say…if it wasn’t for you….I may have not contacted her….so fine..you got the credit. Further more, I thank you for it. Because of you, I have reconnected with Toby family, and I have a lot of good, funny, and memorable memories. Your legacy will be carried on through your kids Jordan and Tyler. They both have your spunky, witty, and athleticism like you. Not to mention good looks too. You’re in now in place where it’s peaceful and tranquil. Look over your family and protect them…by the way, if you see my brothers…say hi for me.
My heart and prayer go out to your family. You’re in my thoughts every step of the way.
I love you mike I am proud to call you my brother
