Tony Sturgeon Obituary
Tony loved playing and recording music, fishing, camping, and was a stranger to no one. He accomplished much in his life including playing an instrumental role in the creation, bottling, and grocery store marketing of Bill Johnson's Big Apple barbeque sauce which sold millions of bottles throughout the years. Later in his career he was successful in food service sales, driving millions of dollars in business as a highly decorated sales representative for multiple companies.
His music, fun spirit, and larger than life personality will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Arizona Humane Society.

I am so sorry to hear about Tony´s passing. I have been taking care of his cats the past few years & I really enjoyed getting to know him. He was so kind & sincere & just adored those kitties. He told me about his family & he was so proud of his children. He always gave my children extra money for helping me take care of Casper & Jasper which always made them so happy! I could tell he was a genuinely kind hearted person & I´m sorry for his family´s huge loss. My family will miss him too & we will pray for the Sturgeon family.

Dan Fogelberg's song Leader of the Band is playing over and over again in my heart and in my head... and that smiling face and festive spirit will always be missed in our home and at our table. Until we meet again, Big Ton... we'll be missing you here, but I trust that Heaven is a little bit brighter and the band is most grateful for their newest member there. Can't wait to sing with you again.
