Toby Neil Banks, 50, of Spirit Lake, ID passed away suddenly on August 10, 2024, in a tragic car accident. His loss is completely unexpected, and his family is deeply saddened.

Toby was born on February 16, 1974 to Richard and Kathye Banks in Yreka, CA. He was the eldest of two brothers. Toby grew up in Fort Jones, CA and graduated from Etna High School in 1993.

Toby had a lifelong passion for anything with wheels, which guided his various career choices. He met his wife Mindy in 1999. The pair married in 2001. They moved to Idaho in 2002 and have called it home ever since.

Toby embodied Christ through his love and service of others. With a genuine and welcoming personality, he was a stranger to no one and connected to people of all ages.

For those that knew and loved him, his contagious smile and laugh will never be forgotten. He will be profoundly missed.

Toby is survived by his devoted wife Mindy, his mother Kathye, brother Lance and his wife Jaime and their children, his in-laws Larry and Beci Bodmer, brother-in-law Nat Bodmer and his wife April and their children, extended family and many dear friends.
