Anthony (Tony) Lewis Bruner, age 63, passed away on November 14, 2025, at Maury Regional Medical Center in Columbia, Tennessee. He was born on October 24, 1962, in Cincinnati, Ohio, the beloved son of Patricia “Burnett” Bruner and the late George Bruner. He was also preceded in death by his grandparents, George and Roberta Bruner.
Anthony grew up in Cincinnati and carried those roots with him throughout his life. He later married the love of his life, Monette “Fulcher” Bruner, and together they built a family grounded in devotion, pride, and enduring love.
Anthony found peace and happiness in the outdoors, especially on the water. He spent countless hours on his boat at his favorite spot, Camden Landing on the Tennessee River; fishing, relaxing, and soaking in the quiet moments he treasured. He also loved traveling to Gulf Shores, where he enjoyed nothing more than resting with his toes in the ocean and the sun on his face.
He is survived by his wife, Monette Bruner; his son, Dylan (Bonnie) Bruner; and his cherished grandchildren, Clark and Martin Bruner. He is also survived by his sister, Terri (Mark) Miller, and his brother, Tim Bruner, as well as many beloved aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins.
Deeply devoted to his family and fond of his grandchildren, Anthony’s gentle spirit and warm presence touched all who knew him. His memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved him most.
