Anthony Paul Carnes (Tony), married to Donna O Carnes, passed away peacefully in his home with his wife by his side, Nov 8, 2025. He was a devoted, loving husband for 40 years. He never met a stranger and was kind to everyone, no matter who you were. He was loved by so many and loved the earth he lived on and always respected it. He was continuously cleaning up trash to help the enviroment or planting a tree. He was compassionate to all living creatures. So, I asked you all to be kind and be loving to every living thing and each other here on this earth. When you see a piece of trash anywhere on the road, parking lot,  the park that he loved, please pick it up in memory of him. He would be so grateful. I will miss my dear husband and best friend. You will always be by my side, watching over me and Missy our cat. You are in a wonderful place and not suffering anymore. I will love you always, Donna
