Kenneth Campbell Tobin

Kenneth Campbell Tobin died at home, peacefully in the arms of his beloved wife, Poppy Tooker, surrounded by loving family on the 28th of February following a brief valiant battle with ALS. Ken, Kenny or KT as he was known was a native New Orleanian, born to John Paul Tobin and Adele Heaton Tobin on April 17, 1950. His mother, Adele imparted a love for nature in him that continued throughout his life. Most at home in the wilderness, Kenny was an avid outdoor sportsman who loved hunting and fishing – especially with his lifelong, best friend Ken Foret. Kenny was a natural salesman whose career began with the Rubenstein Brothers’ All American Jeans. He truly exceeded at radio sales, first in New Orleans at B97 before moving on to larger markets in Miami and Dallas. Kenny loved travel and had friends all over the globe. He truly loved unconditionally and always impressed upon his children the importance of saying goodbye to loved ones. Kenny is survived by his loving wife, Poppy Tooker, his son Kelvin Campbell Tobin (Felicia Bates), daughter, Charlotte Alice Tobin and stepdaughter, Maddy Minter Mouledoux (Lance Fitzhenry). The family would like to thank Denisela Dumesme-Gilmore, Jenni Doiron, Dr. Stephen Kantrow, MD., hospice nurse Angie Trobaugh, Paul Varisco and the Team Gleason crew especially Liz Chapauton. In lieu of flowers, please contribute to the Gleason Foundation. Family and friends are invited to celebrate Kenneth’s life on Wednesday, March 5, 2025, at 1:30pm in front of the family tomb in Metairie Cemetery, 5100 Pontchartrain Blvd., New Orleans.
