Obituary of Toby Lee Marchese

Toby Lee Marchese was born on May 8, 1980 in Monroe, Michigan. He was one of five children born from the union of his parents: Donald Marchese Sr. and Kathleen (Dusseau) Marchese. After receiving his GED, Toby worked various jobs in maintenance as a general laborer.

Toby was a very generous person who loved to help people. He was the type of person to give the shirt off his back to those in need. He liked to be social and made many lasting friendships throughout his life. He had a kind heart and was loved by everyone who knew him. He enjoyed spending time with his family and was always there to lend a helping hand. To know Toby was to love him, and there will forever be a void in the hearts of everyone who knew him.
