He will be greatly missed by all.

Pallbearers will be Daniel King, Michael Anthony Davis, John Davis, Paul Davis, Tony Keith, and E.J. Boswell. Honorary Pallbearers are Chuck Davis and Hadley Davis.
As per Mr. Tony's request the family encourages casual dress.
The family would also like to express their sincere appreciation to Doctor Huan Le, Trinity Home Health, and St. Joseph's Hospice and to all family and friends for their thoughts and prayers.

Tony was a great friend as well as kinfolks and had a loving and caring attitude toward all his people of the Adai Indian Nation which he was an enrolled tribal member. He will certainly be missed. Our prayers and sympathy are with his wonderful family.

Tony you will missed, sir, I have never forgotten your wit or your wisdom. To his family I will lift you up in my prayers that our Father in heaven will comfort you during this time. Tony was a thoughtful, hard working, friend and co-worker to many people, and he always spoke of his family, and how much he loved them. I was blessed for having known him.

On many occasions Uncle Tony would tell me how proud he was of his children and his family. His gratefulness for all they had done for him and his great love for his family....I witnessed this, when like clock-work every year, I would receive a calendar from him carefully marked with birthdays and anniversaries of all our family. I have them all and they will be even more precious to me now. Uncle Tony leaves a great legacy for his family...cherish the memories...I know I will! As always, prayers and love to all!
Love,
