Anthony Racky Obituary

It is with great sadness that the family of Anthony Ryan Robinson Racky announces his sudden passing on Wednesday, January 31, 2018, at the age of 42. He is lovingly remembered by his family and friends. Tony loved nature, music, animals, baseball, and travel, but more than anything, Tony deeply loved his children. As the former Managing Director of The Lakeview Baseball Club, Tony brought his affable character together with a love for The Cubs to create so many special and lasting memories. Tony is lovingly remembered by his three children Charlotte, Amelia and Sadie and his father, Robert. He is survived by his siblings Sindy (Dave), Shaun, Sue (Ron), Aimee (Tim), and Mike. Tony is also survived by his nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and many long-time friends. Tony was preceded in death by his mother Beverly Johnson. A celebration of Tony's life will be held at the Kuhn Cultural Arts Center at St. Francis High School, 2130 W Roosevelt Rd., Wheaton, IL at 10 a.m on Saturday, February 10th. (Doors open at 9:30 a.m.).

May you find peace and comfort in memories
and may you feel the loving arms of Jesus around you.
