My dearest Michelle, Mackenzie and Keegan,
Here we are, 10 days down the line. A place we never thought we'd be. At least not this soon. I know your hearts are breaking, as is mine. We should always remember how much he loved us all. And, he will always be watching over us. I know we'd rather have him, but it was just his time to go. His work in this world was done and God needed him in heaven. My precious little boy, your precious husband and daddy will stay in our hearts forever.

I'm so sorry this has happened. My memories of Tony at Immanuel is the blonde haired/blue eyed stinker that everybody loved and respected. I wish I could have had the chance to get together with him and all the Immanuel people once again. He would have seen so much support for him. We were all a family. I will pray for Michelle and the children as well as for the rest of his family. Again, I am so sorry.

I want to say I am deeply sorry to hear of your loss and will be praying for peace in the days ahead.
I was Tony's classmate at Immanuel and Dundee Crown. I will always remember his wonderful sense of humor and charming personality.

My prayers go out to all who love Tony or have been touched by his life. As one of Tony's former teachers I will always remember him as full of life, energy and joy. It is sometimes hard for us to understand why things happen and it is at those times that we need to fully rely on God and trust Him and His mercy.

There are no words that we can say. Just know that Tony was a wonderful coach and will be missed by many of us in the district. Any child that he coached was blessed to have such a caring man doing his best for them. We are all blessed for knowing him. We are there for you for whatever you may need.
