Tony you are the greatest friend anyone could ask for! You kept a smile on everyone's faces and never let anything get you down, or at least didn't show it! Your life was cut too short, but I know that you are in a better place now watching over all your loved ones! You will be forever missed by those who knew you dearly! May you be in my heart forever and always. I love you Tony!

Tony, You made my night, my day, my week, my month, and my year. You are the greatest friend anyone could ever hope for. Even though your life was short and was taken, During that 20 years, You changed lives forever and you will never be forgotten. I have a special place for you, where you will be with me wherever I go, and that special place is in my heart. Forever and always my first and only, Tony. I love you.

Tony, I never got the chance to meet you, but your sister talked about you all the time. She was very proud of you and loved you deeply. You will be missed every day by your family and friends, and the twenty years you spent here and the impact you made on others lives will not go unforgotten.

I wanted to add a picture of Tony and my son. Tony loved my little guy so much and was always so excited to see him. Tony we are going to name our next child in your honor. Josh and I love you and miss you so much.

Tony was the happiest person I have ever met. He never had a bad thing to say about anyone. His hugs and smiles made my day so much better. He is one of those people that once you get to know him he will change your life. Not having him here anymore is horrible but he will be in all our hearts and is probably looking down on us now. We love you Tony we will always have you in our hearts.
