It was your birthday on Friday 7/13. It was a very tough day for your wife, my sister. She got through the day though. She misses you so much, I do too. Rest in peace brother. You will always be remembered, in our hearts and in our mind!

I promise, I wanted to post here on the day of your 1 year anniversary because it is customary...I just couldn't. We had to really, really pray hard with and over your wife this year-we did our best. You will always be remembered and never forgotten. You are all we spoke of in the month of January and February 2022. Rest now brother Charley for some day we will all join together in the presence of our Lord.

Tony was a blessing to our family. He had helped in raising my sons teaching them how to maintain vehicles, showing how to provide a good work ethic and how to be supportive in family needs. He was their father figure and awesome uncle to my sons. I’ve seen him grow in our family with my sister and stayed with her for 28 years. He was a dedicated father to his daughter. He will be greatly missed. Love you brother, see you in heaven. Say hi to my dad and Andrew.

I wanted to share the qualities that were very prominent in Tony's life. From the first time I met him, I noticed that he really had a caring heart. He loved to talk with people and his sense of humor always shined through.
Also, he was a hard worker that cared about the effort he put into any task. He also had a love for family which included his wife and daughter, but extended to anyone that he was related to.
I feel blessed that I was able to know Tony and will continue to pray for his family as they grieve this incredible loss. John 3:16 Pastor Dan

We are happy that you are now with Jesus, relieved of your pain. We will continue to pray for your precious family and be there as their support. I know that Jesus will be faithful to be with and bless your precious little family. Philippians 3:20,21. Someday, we will all rejoice together at the throne of the Lamb!
