Not what I was hoping to see on my first time back to the forum in a few months.
Rest in peace mate.

RIP Toby
One thing that will stick with me the most is a post on here somewhere that quoted Toby, they asked what Toby wanted and he said "I just want to live".
I never met the guy but those five words stick with me.
We all have everything that Toby wanted, don't waste it, use it. We don't know how fortunate we are and worry about the little things. I know I appreciate life more having known about Toby and his story.
I never watched this before I know he was so strong but he managed to make it over any hurdle big or small. I am one proud sister miss you more then you now lil bro missing your voice your smile your laugh and humor love you tub. Thank you for sharing this :)
Jeez
This has taken me by surprise. I'm not usually given to sentiment but this young Bugger really touched my heart with his positive cheeky attitude to the point that I decided to build the Tobinator rifle he was on about (nearly finished) and send it to him as a surprise just because I liked his "go gettum" life style. I will put that away unfired until someone of Toby's worth comes along and it will be passed on in Toby's name.
To the family I send heartfelt condolences and for bringing into this world an absolute Cheeky little shit I thank you!! I can say very little more that hasn't already been said... He did suggest I should meet "Old Grandad Rushy" and his bloody good mate Brads. here's hoping that this will come to fruition.
Toby.... a fond farewell from me RIP \

On ya Krystel. How are you guys holding up?
Hi rushy.. we are ok just taking it each day as it comes. Some days are better then others :)
now ebf and you other buggers heres the sequel to the deck repairs.sit down grab a beer and wait for it............righto -the deck&the house are getting a dozer put through it in the new year and kid sis (with our assistance) is funding a brand new 3br lockwood home complete with double garage and sleepout.
we intend to subdivide the section and build a smaller lockwood unit down the back which will be sold to offset the cost of our place.
be a bit of landscaping to be done but i can handle that.-anyone for a working bee ???
enough of me though krystel -glad to hear youre hangin in there -just remember theres a lot of us have got ya back and if needed can respond. on here Toby was regarded with the same mana as the late jonah,of that there is no doubt. go well lassie and look after yourselves.
Jonah who?
Krystel You have another great brother in Luke who I am sure is hurting just as much as you but is just as strong as Toby, lean on each other and help each other threw this.
Luke and yourself are welcome at my door anytime.
Ditto if you ever want to come to the other side of the big smoke. VC and I are arguably the second best host on the forum. We are going to have to have a cook off at the long range shoot next year to decide the number one spot.
oh lordy god help us
Guys Toby's mum asked me to share this with you.

Differently a awesome young man ,never meet him but learnt a bit about life following his journey on here . Like a wise old being in a young mans soul crazy as RIP
Thank you Brad's for posting that (I appreciate it more than I can express) and please thank Julie for sharing. I need to get my eyes checked. This is the second day in a row they have spontaneously leaked.
Certainly an amazing young guy, well beyond his years, thinking back to courage he displayed at the Sika show and his determination to be there inspirational stuff! Then to drive back to Wairoa by himself after. I saw him off from Kinloch, made sure he had everything, asked if he had some water, typical, no bro I'm alright. Got him some water, he had his music going, glad I wasn't a passenger with that shit in my ears! Said ring me if you have any probs well come and get you, and a few hours later get a text, hey mate I'm home. Yep Rushy he still mucks with my emotions, privileged to have known him!:cool:
Yeah a great kid
Stoic is the word Rushy used and I'm stuck with that as my best memory.
He came down one weekend, we went shooting with @Dundee, went for a steel shoot here, @7mmsaum came down we got Toby shooting further than he ever had.
Then another hunt.
He got a txt about midday the following day when we where on the hill, someone was inviting him to a 18th birthday, (female) loaded the car and off he went!
After two big days....he partied all night and woke up in a flax bush somewhere in warioa.
I'm sure he's still smiling about that weekend.

I was thinking about Toby and his family yesterday,he certainly left a mark on us all.
The one thing about Toby is he makes me want to be a better person.

Where's it gone.

I was thinking that yesterday
I miss him...his sense of humour. sometimes sage like commentary...you half expect a post from him from time to time...he made you aware that no matter what, you simply have to make the most of everyday...
I think about him a lot. It's amazing where life's teachers can come from
@BRADS How is his family doing?
