We met Tony when I started at Tee Jayes Sept 2021. He was a good friend from the moment we met him. He was family us and our kids. He would always talk to himself when he was cooking. If you listened it would make you laugh at some of the things he would say lol. The end of 2022 we started picking him up and taking him home and after a few months I realized he would hardly say a word the whole car ride. One night after work i took our dish tanker home as well. Since Tony and I lived out east and Josh lived out west we dropped Josh off first. As I'm getting on freeway I said Tony north right because I'm not good with directions. Tony said yes, thinking back now he was prob not paying much attention and prob half asleep lol. We ended up out by Tuttle mall. I said Tony I went the wrong way he just said oh and was quiet the rest of the way. He was amazing with our kids as well. They loved him especially our 8 year old she was always so excited to see him. Tony you will truly be missed. The world will not be the same without you. We love you

Hello, my names Michael, I met Tony, around 3 years ago cooking at Teejays. He was who trained me and from the beginning me and him were like brothers. We even called each other brother. I am sorry for his family's loss. I have to many stories with Tony to share just one, me and him were often working the same shift so if you know Tony and me, we often had a good time sweating over that grill. Lol, i should say i was sweating while he watched, unless we were slammed. Me and Victoria usually picked him up for work and took him home, and if I was there already he would walk in with a big ol smile when he saw me. Cause he knew we were gonna have a good night and he also knew that I could man the grill so he could do other things and not be stuck back there. It shocked me to find this out, and I will miss him dearly. I know he's up there throwing down on that grill for our lord. I love and miss you my brother. Look down on us from time to time ok.
