June 8, 1972 – August 13, 2019
An avid game player, music lover, and friend to all, Toby lived to make others laugh and to help them to forget about the bad side of life. He was always upbeat and smiling, even during the bad times.
Formerly of Cleveland, TN, Williamston, MI, and St. Johns, MI, he passed away after a very long battle with multiple health problems.
Toby was welcomed home by his mother, Marilyn House; grandmother, Katherine Kalka; great-grandmother, Leota Risch; aunt, Donna Hjorth Buzinske; and uncle Jerry Warner.
Left behind to carry on in his footsteps are his father, Gary House; children, Kiaya (Martin) Hadel, Tabitha House, and Jonathon House; grandchildren, Marilyn Hadel and Rahlin Reynolds; sisters, Amy House, Sara House Mangrum, and Shnowa (Matt) Frasher; brother, Josh House. Several nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews, also survive.
In addition to family, he leaves behind many friends from both long ago and recent.
Special friends who will carry on his legacy are Ruth (Charles) Walker, Dawn Sawdy and her children, and his best buddy, Tippy.
