Obituary

Dennis A. Toczylousky, 63, of Duke Road, passed away on December 8, 2025, at his home, surrounded by his family and his beloved dog, Teddy.

Born in Bloomsburg on November 21, 1962, Dennis was the son of Albert Toczylousky and Emily (Petro) Toczylousky-Wanzie.

A lifelong resident of Catawissa, Dennis graduated from Southern Columbia Area High School in 1981 and later earned a degree in automotive repair from Vale Technical Institute. A master mechanic through and through, he owned and operated Denny's Automotive LLC in Numidia. Dennis took great pride in his craft, and he felt a deep responsibility for the safety of every customer who trusted him with their vehicle. His dedication built not only a successful business, but a community of loyal customers who will long feel his loss.

On January 20, 2002, he married the former Jayme L. Arlow in Roaring Creek Township. From the start, Dennis often said that his wife and children were the best things that ever happened to him, and he lived every day in a way that made sure they never doubted it.

Dennis embraced life with an infectious, lighthearted spirit. He loved to laugh, especially at his own antics, and he delighted in playing harmless tricks on friends and family. His sense of humor was as steady and dependable as his mechanical skills, and he brought joy to everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

He found pure happiness in winter—fresh snow, a crisp sky, and a snowmobile beneath him. As founder and president of the South Side Snow Drifters Snowmobile Club, Dennis built a community around the sport he loved. His annual snowmobiling trips with his closest friends were a highlight of every year, and he cherished sharing those snowy adventures with his family. When the weather warmed, he enjoyed riding his side-by-side with the same enthusiasm.

A passionate NASCAR fan, Dennis proudly cheered for Dale Earnhardt. He was an adrenaline enthusiast with a soft heart—never one to turn down a ride on a mechanical bull, a fast trail, or a chance to simply enjoy the moment. He loved being present for his children, attending their high school sporting events and celebrating every milestone.

Above all, Dennis loved people—his family, his friends, and the many lives he touched with his warmth and humor. Simply put, he loved a good time, and he loved sharing it with those around him.

Dennis is survived by his wife, Jayme Toczylousky of Catawissa; two daughters, Kayla (Joe) Marlowe of Media, and Jayden Toczylousky of Pittsburgh; a son, Jake Toczylousky and significant other, Emmie Rowe, who was considered a third daughter; and his beloved granddaughter, Rory Marlowe. He is also survived by his mother, Emily (Jerry) Wanzie of Numidia; two sisters, Denise Toczylousky of Catawissa, and Susan (Trent) Dreese of Selinsgrove; one brother, Stephen (Tammy) Toczylousky of Catawissa; nephews, Tyler (Tonya) Servose and their children, Blakely and Tucker; Wesley Servose, Ryan Servose, and Stevie (Desserae) Toczylousky; nieces, Taylor (Tyler) Smith and their daughter, Scarlett; Trystanne (Blake) Bowan, Karissa (Colton) Temple, and Lauren (Ian) Gemberling. He is also survived by two brothers-in-law, Greg (Rita) Arlow of NJ, and Doug (Suzie) Arlow of Pittsburgh; mother-in-law, Evelyn Arlow of Pittsburgh; cherished family friend, Rhonda Holcomb; and many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.

He was preceded in death by his father, Albert Toczylousky; father-in-law, James P. Arlow; and several aunts, uncles, and cousins.
