Thomas Coburn Metcalf, age 69, of Toledo, passed away peacefully Thursday May 25, 2017. He was born December 5, 1947 to Coburn and Modelle Metcalf. A bright student and lover of academia he graduated from Rodgers High School in 1965.

During his time on active duty he sailed on the USS Mullinix DD944 destroyer and the USS Tidewater AD 31. He was released from active duty in April 1970.
Tom lived in West Palm Beach, Florida for a short time before moving back to the area in 1973, to begin working at Jones & Henry Engineers in Toledo. He then graduated from the University of Toledo in 1981 with a degree in Civil engineering. He went on to become a partner with Jones & Henry.

He always had a strong passion for politics and as well as sports, namely his cherished Detroit Red Wings. Tom was a hardworking loving man who was dedicated to his family and professed his faith in Jesus Christ.
