Toby McWaters Obituary
BUCYRUS: Toby Preston McWaters, 30 years old, of Bucyrus passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, Oct 16, 2012 at St. Vincent's Hospital in Toledo.
Toby blessed us with his presence on July 9, 1982 in Marion, Ohio with his proud parents Leah Metzger and Rick McWaters (Bucyrus) eager to meet him.
Toby was preceded in death by his paternal great-grandmother, Mildred Fischer; his grandfathers, Walter Bell and Norman Metzger; his step-grandmother Janice Horsley, and his step grandparent's lee and Elaine Orewiler.
In addition to his parents, Toby is survived by the love of his life, Jamie Lutz; his sons, Kohan Keith and Brayton McWaters; his step-father, Dave Metzger; step-mother, Teri McWaters; brother, Austin Metzger; sisters Tasha Metzger, Rachel and Erin Strohm; grandparents, Nina Bell, Gary Horsley, Carol Watts, Helen and Wayne Zeiter and Leo Hare; uncles, Tim Bell, Tim McWaters, and Miles Horsley; He is also survived by Duane and Cathy Lutz and family, whom he was very close to; as well as numerous great aunts & uncles, cousins, nephews and nieces.
Toby lived his entire life in the Bucyrus area and graduated from Bucyrus High School in 2000. As a young boy he enjoyed watching football with his Papa Bell, playing baseball, and going to races with his dad, racing his dirt bikes and mini dragster.
As an adult, when he wasn't working as co-owner of Committed Builders, along with his good friend Ryan Lutz, who was like a brother, he was hunting, fishing, riding dirt bikes with the boys, and spending time with his family.
He was a wonderful dad to Kohan and Brayton, whom he loved very much. He will be sadly missed by his many friends and family.
The family will receive friends on Sunday from 1-5 pm in the funeral home. Funeral Services will be held on Monday at 11 am in the Munz-Pirnstill Funeral Home with Pastor Dan Rebon officiating, burial will follow in Oakwood Cemetery. The family has requested memorial contributions be given to his son, Brayton McWaters through the funeral home.

Toby would not expect anyone to dress up to attend so come in your jeans!

We were all blessed with Toby's presents, his innocent grin, (well maybe) and his giggly laugh for 30 years, now that is gone. It is up to all of us, his friends and family to keep those memories alive forever. Lets not forget the little wonderful piece of Toby that is still with us, Brayton McWaters. Our deepest sympathy goes out to all of us, friends and family that are hurting now. Paul Ross, Veronica Boebel and Grace

Sending my deepest sympathies to Jamie, Rick and the rest of the fam. I remember Toby so well from school and the track. How we helped each other out in studies and how he would pick on me for always getting down to the last race of the night and red lighting! He would always give me "pointers" the next day and then laugh it off saying "your to thick headed to remember all that next week we'll see another red light" He will be truly missed by all, and I am sure the next time I go racing and red light he will be laughing at me from above saying "I told ya"....love and thoughts, the Hickman Family <3
