Robert Toney Obituary

SUITLAND, Md. - Robert M. Toney died suddenly and peacefully in his sleep on Sept. 11, 2008, at the age of 53. He was a private contractor who lived his life exactly as he wanted to live it: his way.
Robert was born in Hampton, Va., and attended Kecoughtan High School. He spent several years in Fort Washington, Md., where he made many friends. At the time of his death, he was living and working in the Virgin Islands with a dear friend, Nick Berry, whom Robert thought of as a brother, and Nick's family Desiree and Isiah.
Robert is survived by his mother, Joyce Johnson of Roanoke, Va.; his father, Jim Toney of Fayetteville, N.C.; his brother, Steve Toney, and sister-in-law, Annie, of Roanoke; brother, Rick Toney, and sister-in-law, Michelle, of Newport News, Va. The loves of Robert's life were his nephew, Dakota Toney; his niece, Lauren Toney; and his longtime buddy, Isiah Berry.
