“Thank you for calling myLawn! Turf & Tree, this is Toby. How can I assist you?”
For the last couple of years, those words were often the first voice many of our clients heard when they reached out to our office. Toby had a gift for making people feel welcomed, heard, and cared for. He served our clients well, not because it was simply part of his job, but because caring for people was truly part of who he was.
But Toby was so much more than the voice on the other end of the phone.
He was a father, a brother, a friend, and someone deeply loved by his family and those closest to him. He was loved deeply by those who knew him, and even a short conversation with him was often enough to understand why.
We wanted to take a moment to pause and express our deep gratitude for the outpouring of love, kindness, and support we have received from our family, our friends, the community, and our clients following the recent passing of Toby Elliott.
Toby was not only our brother, but also a cherished team member and friend. Several of our family members had the privilege of working alongside him here, and this past week and a half has been incredibly difficult. Even so, the care, prayers, messages, and love we have received have helped lighten a burden that has felt almost impossible to carry.
Please continue to keep his children, his family, his loved ones, and his friends in your thoughts and prayers as we all learn how to navigate this world without him.
We would also like to acknowledge the effort, understanding, and compassion each of our team members has poured into their work during this difficult time. Even while grieving themselves, they have continued to support one another, support our family, and do an outstanding job caring for the needs of our clients. We are truly blessed to have the team we have.
We also ask that you extend as much grace as possible to our office and our team in the days ahead. Toby’s absence is deeply felt, and we are still learning how to absorb the incredible impact of losing him.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for loving Toby and for loving all of us so well through this difficult time. If you have a story, memory, or kind word about Toby, we would be grateful for you to share it below or you can message us privately as well.
