Obituary published on Legacy.com by Perry Funeral Home - Newark on Jan. 17, 2026.
Toney Saboo Herring Sr. was born on September 28, 1965, in Newark, New Jersey, to William Herring and JoAnn Herring. He was raised in Newark, where he attended Burnet Elementary School and later graduated from Newark Technical High School. He continued his education at Kean University.

Toney was a man of many passions. He found peace in fishing, joy in listening to music, and great happiness in the kitchen, where his love for cooking brought family and friends together. His warmth, laughter, and generous spirit left a lasting impression on everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

He is lovingly remembered by his children, Toney Saboo Herring Jr. and Zahkeia Herring; his sibling, Rahiem; and many cherished family members and friends.

Toney is now reunited in eternal rest with his beloved parents, William and JoAnn Herring; and his siblings Rock, Rick, and Tasha who preceded him in death.
