William M. Toomey
William “Bill” M. Toomey, age 56, passed away peacefully on Aug. 29, 2025.
He was born on Oct. 3, 1968, to Francis “Bill” William and Barbara Jean (nee Curley) Toomey in Parma, Ohio. He was raised in Newbury Township and graduated from Newbury High School.
Bill found his true calling as a chef. Whether cooking professionally or at home, he poured his heart into every dish and loved seeing people gathered around the table enjoying his food.
He was just as passionate about life outside the kitchen—spending time hunting, fishing, trying his luck at gambling or heading to a concert to enjoy some good rock and roll.
Bill had a way of making people feel welcome, whether through a shared meal, a good laugh or simply his easygoing company.
Bill was a loving father and grandfather whose greatest joy was his family. He leaves behind his cherished daughter, Jordan DeyErmand (nee Toomey); and his beloved grandchildren, Autumn and Myles DeyErmand. He will also be deeply missed by his sister, Sharon (Erik Gaizutis) Toomey; niece, Jillian Toomey; and many dear friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Barbara and Francis Toomey.
A graveside service will be held at 11 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 3, 2025, at Munn Cemetery in Newbury.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Burr Funeral Home, 116 South St., Chardon. Condolences and memories may be shared at www.burrservice.com.
