Anthony Colon Obituary
July 18, 1960 - May 3, 2012
Resident of San Jose
We remember the special days in Tony's life when he received his diploma from The Citadel and the day his peace officer badge was pinned on his chest.
We miss his unique laughter and silly grin and the way he made each of us feel so special.
Tony had many amazing friendships that he cherished dearly.
He is deeply loved and remembered by his beloved family and friends and will not be forgotten.
