ANTHONY DIEGO Obituary

Anthony Cherry Diego Of San Rafael California, passed away on May 6, 2010, at the age of 25. Tony Diego was born on January 5, 1985 to Doug and Nancy Diego, in San Rafael, CA. He was the third child, preceded by his brother Doug Diego and sister April Diego. Tony attended grade school at St. Raphael's in San Rafael. He went to middle school at North Bay Christian Academy in Novato. He spent 2 years at Marin Catholic High School and 2 years at Terra Linda High School. Tony loved to play football and baseball and excelled in both. Tony had a passion for cooking. He loved to cook almost as much as he loved to eat. He was a loyal friend, the kind of guy who would climb up in your scratchy 100+ degree attic or break the concrete out of your front yard if you asked him. He was adored by his nieces and nephews, who he showered with affection and attention. Tony most recently worked at Trader Joe's in San Rafael. He always walked in with an infectious smile on his face that quickly spread to everyone that encountered him. Tony is survived by Dad, Doug Diego; mother Nancy Diego; brother Doug Diego; sister April (Diego) Rosebrock; grandfather John Diego; his girlfriend Alyssa Ruys and many aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews. A memorial service will be held for Tony on Saturday, May 22nd at 11:00 am in Petaluma at New Life Christian Fellowship, 1310 Clegg St., Petaluma, CA. The family requests donations be made to Saint Anthony's Foundation, 150 Golden Gate Ave., S. F., CA 94102.

I spent a lot of time with Tony at the Farm in Petaluma and he uplifted everyone, including myself, with his kindness, positive attitude and practical jokes. He made everyday a day to look forward to. He and his friend Luis were true cow whisperers, so even though he is gone, he isnt forgot

I was sorry to hear about Tony's sudden passing. He was a friend and much more to everyone he met, and I will forever be grateful to be one of the few people privileged enough to have known him.

Dear Diego Family, I was shocked and saddened to learn of Tony's passing last week from my daughter Gina. Although it's been years since I've seen Tony, I remember him from Little League where he was a natural athelete, and later during high school when he occasionally hung out at our house. I always liked Tony, and thought he was a nice young man.

My thoughts are with you.

Nancy & Doug,
A huge hug and much love from the Acton family. Tony set an example of how to carry yourself and treat others, from the first pitch for me in little league. You are a special family, your gift still hangs on my door Nancy. The joy in his life and perspective of his much too quick passing thru will stay with us.

I am a friend of Tony's through Trader Joe's. It is with a very heavy heart to write this, words can not express what a joy it has been to know Tony. No matter what care in the world was upsetting to me, Tony's smile and hug in the mornings ALWAYS brightened my day. His smile and laughter will forever remain in my heart. He has truely touched the lives of many who knew him. May god bless you all in this time sorrow. There's a star shining bright tonight and every night.
