Marvin "Toby" Morgan Steele, Jr., born March 3, 1965 in West Memphis, AR, passed away, at age 55, Thursday, March 26, 2020, at his home in Marion, AR, surrounded by his loving and adoring family, after a two and half year long battle with cancer.

Toby was an extraordinary father and husband, who always put the needs and wants of his family first.
He worked as a district tire store manager for Steele-Guiltner Tire in Marion and West Memphis, AR.
Throughout his life, Toby had many great achievements, including holding positions as the President of the Arkansas Tire Dealer Association, church board member of 1st AG, a member on the Main Street West Memphis Board of Directors, and Grand Marshal of the 20th Annual O'Reilly Mid-South Nationals Drag Racing Series.
Toby was an avid marathon runner, gun enthusiast, and enjoyed kayaking and fishing on the Spring River.

I was sitting around thinking of my father, Leroy Streetman this morning & wondered how Mr Marvin Steele and his sons were doing. Never expected to see this. My heart goes out to Toby's family. I have such fond memories of him as a young boy when our fathers worked together. God Bless.

To All of the Steele Family,
My heart hurts for your loss and for the pain you now feel. Toby will surely be missed.
However, the many happy memories made with him will be bringing smiles in the days ahead, to all that have had the privilege of knowing him!
He had a great outlook on this life and a faith in the Only One who matters!
We rejoice that he has no more pain and is in the presence of Jesus!
We are praying for you all, as you are moving forward in this new chapter of your life without him.
Just know that God will grant His peace to you, as you look to Him for wisdom and guidance.
We love your family, and are so thankful to have been considered a friend of Toby.
May God bless your family and lead you through this difficult time.
Love,
The Murphrees
