Anthony Pollard Obituary
July 13, 1962 - July 1, 2021
McDonough, Georgia - Anthony "Tony" Todd Pollard, age 58, passed away Thursday, July 1, 2021. Tony was born in Spokane, WA to James and Joyce Pollard and was raised in Warner Robins, GA, where he proudly wore #32 as a record setting fullback for the Warner Robins High School Demons. Tony spent most of his professional career working in the risk management division of a personal injury law firm. Tony is survived by his four daughters: Cassye Grace Oliver of Brevard, NC (granddaughter: Oli Hope), Hannah Todd Pollard of Waynesville, NC, Mary Kathryne Bone of Locust Grove, GA (grandchildren: Layla Isabella, Jayce Ryan, Landon Cole), and Emma Rae Pollard of McDonough, GA; four siblings: Michael Pollard (Audrey), Cheryl Sargent (Charles), Richard Pollard (Elle), and Theresa Crowson (Doug); and many cousins, nieces, nephews, and lifelong friends. Tony saw God's beauty in life's simple joys and found peace in his Catholic faith. Tony's life will be celebrated and honored in an intimate service at Honey Creek Woodlands, a memorial nature preserve located among the Monastery of the Holy Spirit in Conyers, GA, where he did an observership in 1988. His memory will forever be carried in our hearts.

This is so very sad. I knew Tony very well back in the mid 80s. Our birthdays are one day apart and because mine is today, his is tomorrow, so I looked him up only to find he was gone. My sympathies to the entire family. Take care. Barbara

Tony was always kind to me in middle school and high school even though I was'nt a cheerleader or popular. He treated me as an equal, he had a beautiful heart. All my sympathy to his children and grandchildren in dealing with this terrible loss.
