Robert "Rusty" Toole passed away on June 2, 2026. Born September 15, 1955, Rusty kept busy over 70 years as an avid hobbyist with interests ranging from backyard rocketry with his kids, to golf, travel, miniature train engineering, drone construction and flying, and science fiction. Solely his love of family surpassed that passion for learning and tinkering. 

Rusty dearly loved his wife of 45 years, Debbie, his three children, Josh, Ryan, and Ali, his grandchildren, his father, and his brothers, Randy and Dave. Described as hilarious, fun, a trip, and a character, he was known to be quick with a joke, for his knowledge on just about any subject, and for his dozens of "Rusty-isms", memorable and unconventional quotes that got him into trouble a time or two. 

Dearly missed, Rusty lives on in the countless lives he touched and will be fondly remembered as a truly one-of-a-kind man.

No services are scheduled at this time.

The caring staff of Darby Funeral Home is honored to serve the family of Mr. Robert Ervin Toole.
