Toby Gilbert Merryman

Toby was a kind and gentle soul. He was very loved and cherished by family and friends. He loved his sweets, especially ice cream every night and tiramisu at Amerigo‘s. He had a very unique sense of humor and was always creating these funny sayings that only his family would understand. He was very protective of his loved ones and would do anything for them and anyone. He was a well-respected and successful gentleman serving the Nashville area as an Technology Administrator for over 40 years. He also loved listening to the drum core of marching bands, spending his time at various Christmas parades walking alongside the drum core and playing his belly to the beat of the drums. Toby marched to the beat of his own drum leading an independent and somewhat private life. For that, he was unique and well-loved and cherished by many. We will miss him dearly.
