John E. Toman, died unexpectedly Wednesday, Oct. 1, three days shy of his 61st birthday.
John was born in Lansing Oct. 4, 1964, to Alfred and Alice Toman. He grew up spending time with family and friends at his family cottage on Gun Lake. His life was full of cherished memories and passionate stories that he told with joy and detail at every opportunity.
John graduated from Everett High School in Lansing. While John’s love of sports and especially the Michigan State Spartans, and fishing was undeniable, what he cherished more than anything was spending time with his family and friends.
He was preceded in death by both parents; brothers Mike and Tom Toman, and sisters Sharon Clisch and Brenda Toman.
John is survived by his wife and best friend Jana Toman; children, Courtney (Kevin) Groeneveld, McKenna Toman (Camiron Galan), Madison Toman (Daniel Nowicki), and John “Chuck” Toman; grandchildren, Keenan, Kinsley, Addalynn, Lane, and Emma; brother Al Toman Jr., many adored nieces and nephews and too many treasured friends to count.
A GoFundMe has been set up to help with the family’s needs at this time.
A celebration of life will be scheduled for John at a later date.
