Michael Toomey Obituary

Michael Toomey passed away on February 7, 2024. Mike graduated from San Mateo High and ventured north long enough to graduate from the University of Oregon. Later, his professions ranged from tour guide to recreation director to sales. Mike was an almost daily fixture at his beloved Poplar Creek Golf Course, and his friends will remember him for his big personality and his laugh. At his request, there will be no service, but crossed fingers and a toast to Mike on Super Bowl Sunday would be fitting.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

I knew Mike in the 90s when my sister Kathleen worked there. They were great friends. He was a fun guy. Love to his family!

Mike and my father were regulars at Coyote Point back in the day. I have fond memories of Mike and his larger-than-life personality. May he Rest in Peace.
