Edgar Wayne “Tobe” Moreland of Lampasas died on April 19, 2025, in Round Rock, surrounded by his family.
Tobe was born on July 29, 1940, in Johnson City to Edgar W. Moreland and Ada Elizabeth (Summy) Moreland.
He devoted many years of his life to Hobbs Exxon in Johnson City before committing his talents to M.C. Winters Construction Co. He later relocated to Lampasas, where he served the County of Lampasas and embraced retirement not just once but twice, showcasing his devotion to both work and community.
Tobe’s greatest joy came from his family. Following retirement, he embraced his role as a grandfather and great-grandfather, cherishing every moment spent with his grandchildren and greatgrandchildren. His passions included tending to his garden, delighting in fishing trips, crafting deer sausage with loved ones, savoring a good cup of coffee, and relishing his visits to the casinos.
Tobe was preceded in death by his former spouse and dear friend Patti (West) Moreland, his son Punkin Moreland, and his brothers Babe and Johnny Moreland.
He is survived by his children Grady Moreland and wife Kari, Tammie Morgan and husband Dave, Stacey Hensiek and husband Roger, and Melvin Moreland and wife Adelle; a sister, Sally Wells; brother, Alton Moreland and wife Janie; grandchildren Kyle, Willie, Toni, Katy, Kristen, Shelby, Holly, Renee, Ashley, Michaela, Walter, Mason and Morgan; as well as 28 great-grandchildren, numerous nieces and nephews, and others.
A time of remembrance of Tobe will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 30 at the Blanco County Fair Grounds Exhibit Hall. Crofts-Crow Funeral Home has charge of arrangements.
