St. Peters

Jerry Lee Tobin, of St. Peters, MO, passed away on Thursday, January 16, 2025 at the age of 81. After a long illness, he entered into eternal rest surrounded by his family.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Willard and Florence (nee Ferguson) Tobin, of Xenia, OH. Jerry was a veteran of the U.S. Navy. After his service, he worked in the tech industry. Eventually, his family settled in the St. Louis region, where he began a commercial sign business, which is still in operation today.

He is survived by his wife of 57 years, Marilyn (nee McFadden). Father of Michael (Michelle) Tobin, Rebecca Tobin, and Jennifer (Jeffrey) Diehl. Grandfather of Dallas Renee (Cole) Henderson and Caitlyn Zoelle Tobin. Great-grandfather of Adrian Michael Henderson.

Jerry was known for his witty one liners, including the classic, "It's either gonna get better or it's gonna get worse." In this case, it got worse. 

He was proud of his time with his college fraternity, Theta Xi Kappa Gamma. Despite the passage of time, he remained in contact with several of his fraternity brothers until his passing.

In addition to his wife and children, Jerry is survived by his brothers, Charles (Gail) Tobin, of Ohio and John (Linda) Tobin, of Las Vegas. He is also survived by several nieces and nephews.
