Lafayette -

Toby Charles Fontenot, age 37, passed away on July 9, 2022, in Krotz Springs, LA.

Toby was born on December 27, 1984, in Lafayette, LA and he was a lifelong resident of Lafayette, LA. Although born with cystic fibrosis, Toby exhibited a zest for life and lived it to the fullest with a heart full of love and a great sense of adventure. He overcame physical adversity to achieve professional success in occupations that demanded physical strength and stamina, most recently as Facilities Director at Ascension Episcopal School. Toby was always in motion, beginning with riding a four-wheeler with his dad as a child. One of his greatest pleasures was riding his motorcycle, especially on road trips where he could be in nature. Most important to him were his relationships with family and friends. He was a devoted son and the most caring and loyal friend a person could have. Toby will be dearly missed.

Toby is survived by his parents, Nancy Pearl Goodwin; his cousins, Mary Kruppe, and Carl Hall (Pam); his uncle, Van Deshotel; his beloved, Amanda Kimble; and a lifetime of dear and wonderful friends, too numerous to mention.

He was preceded in death by his father, Steven Brose Fontenot and his twin sister, Kasha Robin Fontenot.

The family wishes to offer a heartfelt thank you to Nick Barber and the staff at Cypress Funeral Home for their exceptional compassion and efficiency.

A private memorial is being planned for a later date.

Cypress Funeral Home & Crematory, 206 W. Lafayette St., Maurice, LA 70555, (337) 740-3123, is in charge of Cremation arrangements.
