Mark METZGER Obituary

METZGER Mark R. Our dear brother Mark passed away suddenly on February 28, 2012, at the age of 58. He was born May 14, 1953 to the union of Joan (Navarre) and Robert Metzger who preceded him in death. He loved the south end and lived there most of his life. Years back, Mark worked for Con-Rail Railroad and he was a salesman for Price, Stern and Sloan. Mark was an avid reader and a wiz at crossword puzzles and also loved good music. He loved the Green Bay Packers and the Detroit Tigers. We loved him very much and we will all miss him greatly. He is survived by his sister, Mary (Rodgers); brothers, John Jay (Judy) and David Metzger; uncle, Jack (Gigi) Metzger and life long friend, Debbie Rochte; nieces and nephews and many other family members and friends. I will miss you Broham. A gathering will be held for Mark at The Moose Lodge, 226 S. Byrne Rd., Toledo, OH (next to Channel 24) on March 18 between the hours of 1 - 4.

So sorry to hear of Marks passing. My sympathy to your family. Mark & I became friends at St Charles many years ago. He always made me laugh because he would quiz me on current events or the meaning of a word or the spelling of it. I started calling him Mr.know it all...and he never forgot that. After many years of not seeing Mark, the first thing he said to me was "I'm still Mr. know it all" so nice to see you! And began to ask me about current events..with a smile on his face. Well Mr. Know it all,may you rest in peace and keep all the people in heaven up on current events, spelling and all that made you special.

To Mary and family...deepest sympathy to you all...I worked on railroad with Mark. He most always was smiling and seemed like the perpetual student as he was generally taking some kind of course. Also knew him outside of work and had some great times...especially on limo ride for St Patricks day around south Toledo..how fitting his service to be on this day...may your last limo ride be special my friend...rest in peace...
