Tobias R. ter Haseborg was born on July 7, 2014, at J.W. Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown. Tobi had many challenges in his short life, but with the dedicated help of his family, teachers, aides, bus driver, therapists, doctors and nurses, he grew and learned. Tobi shared his happiness with his beautiful smile that touched the people around him. He loved his family, music, animals and party beads. Being at school brought him joy. He was determined and always worked hard. He loved playing in the sand and being outdoors. He traveled to Germany several times to see his family and celebrate his birthday. His life was filled with love and happiness.
On March 25, 2021, Tobias passed away unexpectedly. His time with us was (too) short, but during his time, he was a blessing to many. He is survived by his mother and father, Elizabeth and Heiko ter Haseborg, and his brother, Jannes ter Haseborg, of Morgantown; his grandparents, Robert and Sara Bailey, of Ona; his grandparents, Ursula and Thomas Splett, of Bremen, Germany; his grandparents, Ephard ter Haseborg and Christine Triffo, of Feldkirchen-Westerham, Germany; his aunt and uncle, Kelly and Nathanael Bailey, of Pittsburgh; his aunt and uncle, Inga ter Haseborg and Nils Brinkert, of Ludwigsburg, Germany; his aunt and uncle, Antje ter Haseborg and Philipp Muntu, of Gifhorn, Germany; his aunt, Lisa ter Haseborg, of Bremen, Germany; his cousins, Ada, Nell, and Ola Brinkert; and his cousins, Jonah and Thomas Bailey.
