His deep connection to the ocean shaped much of his life-he was an avid surfer and fisherman who found joy and peace in the rhythm of the waves. Whether riding his bike along the coast or sharing stories with lifelong friends, Tony embraced each day with a spirit of adventure and camaraderie.Tony attended the University of Florida and remained a proud Gator fan throughout his life. His enthusiasm for his alma mater was unmistakable-he could often be seen sporting Gator flags, hats, and clothing as a testament to his enduring school pride.A man of deep faith, Tony was a devoted member of Our Savior's Church. His church community played a central role in his life, and he extended that fellowship generously to others. Known for sharing notes of encouragement with friends and family alike, Tony's quiet acts of kindness reflected his commitment to living out his beliefs with sincerity and compassion.Tony will be remembered by his family as a loving brother, fun uncle, and devoted son. He held a special place in his heart for his 11 nieces and nephews and took great pride in their lives. His warmth and humor left lasting impressions on those around him.He will be deeply missed by his extended family and the many members of the Cocoa Beach community whose lives he touched over the years. May his memory bring comfort to those who knew him. A Funeral Mass will be held on August 23, 2025, at 01:00 PM at Church of Our Savior 5301 N Atlantic Ave.. Burial service will be in the Memorial Garden following Mass
