There is nobody on this earth that was like my brother. He was & is my everything. My son is a mini version of Tone, and they had the best relationship ever. Friday nights were their date night, wherever & whatever my son wanted, uncle T got him. He's grown now & I thank God he has a lot of my brothers soul. My brother was my best friend and I will never stop until the person who took my brother away from me is locked up!

My thoughts are with the entire Bijan family, and my prayers are with Tony. I hope you find eternal peace in heaven as a reward for the violence you endured on Earth. From a long-time team mate at M.H.S. and a friend ever sense.

From another member of Tony's graduating class - I am very shocked, saddened, and sorry to hear about Tony's violent death! Please accept my deepest sympathies!

WOW!



Tony and I weren't really close, but he and I got along in high school, and let me just say that I am completely and utterly SHOCKED at this terrible terrible tragedy. It is a shame when it happens to anybody, but when it happens to somebody you know, especially this way, you can't help but cry just a little bit harder. My heart goes out to his family and loved ones. And if this helps at all, just remember, as long as he is remembered, he will live on eternally - so therefore, he is never truly gone.
