Tony will be missed dearly. He was the saving grace of my life and changed the way I thought and viewed life. His words and testimony was an encouragement to both me and my wife. It breaks my heart to know that he is gone and I wish I could have said thank you once more. I am so sorry to Kelsey and his children for your loss and pray that you will seek God for answers and help in this time of need.

I am really saddened by the loss of Tony. I'm sure God needs his help alongside my late husband who loved horses as much as Tony. I learned so much from Indiana Horse Rescue, Tony, and my late husband Jim. I'm so sorry for everyone's loss.

I'm going to be lost without Tony who was a good friend and mentor. He was there for us when horses arived with illnesses and injuries that I wasn't knowledgeable enough to treat. This man, in my eyes, was a genius! My most heartfelt condolences go out to his family. Kelsey, Katherine, Mom and girls, my heart is with you. I would like to extend the wishes of all of us at the Funny Farm. Tony was a bright light in the darkness and he will be missed. I remember his telling me that he would fill my trailer with horses from down there. I thought he was kidding me but when I got ready to leave, I realized that there was no joke. He did fill it from nose to tail with horses. Thanks to Tony and IHR, Saphira, Dancer are still thriving. There is nothing that I wouldn't have done for him and IHR. We are blessed to have met him. We love ya up here Tony!
