Kelsey, Zach, and Paige, my prayers are with you on the loss of your dad. I knew Toby well from his years in Cedar Rapids, working with many mutual clients and serving on boards together. Your dad was fun, smart, and had a big heart! I suspect you three are the same. I know you and your kids will carry on his legacy.

I only just met Toby last year, but he was a wonderful human being. He told me all about his kids and grandkids and his face would light up! They were his whole world! He felt blessed. Toby knew my son was struggling and he wanted to help him. He had such a big heart! I am so sad to hear that he is suddenly gone. Toby will be missed by all who knew him!

Kelsey, Zach and Paige,
I am so very sorry for your loss. Your dad was so very proud of you all! You were his pride, his joy, his greatest reward in this life.
Myself, as well as, many who knew your dad are mourning a man that had our backs. Whatever the struggle, heartache or pain it became his as well. I loved that about him.
May it give you comfort that he is in the presence of the Lord!
God Bless you! In Jesus name.
All our love.
Jerry and Tammy Kinnetz & Family
