Tony was born on July 16, 1974. Tony served in the United States Navy in San Diego from 1994-1998. He married his love Jen Luokka on September 21, 2002. However, their story starts as far back as when Tony was 17 years old and Jen hired him at Taco Bell. Tony will be dearly missed for his positivity and sense of humor. He had a natural talent of making people feel comfortable. This certainly carried over to his career as a car salesman. His favorite part of his job was being able to talk to and help people.

Family was extremely important to Tony. He always made time to go to the boy's games. He was their biggest fan. He spent countless hours playing catch, basketball, and throwing the football with his boys and their friends. He was proud of all his kids. He enjoyed being a grandfather. Holidays and parties will not be the same without his big personality and laughter. Tony recently moved to Flushing and was looking forward to enjoying life by taking the dogs for walks, cooking on his Blackstone grill which he loved, and watching his favorite shows.

Tony is survived by his loving wife, Jen; his five children, William (Jessica), Jared (Mariah), Anthony (Rebecca), Adreanna (Devon), and Branden; grandchildren, Mayson, Nevaeh, Junior, Melodi, Iris and 3 more grandchildren on the way; father-in-law, David; 2 brothers-in-law, Jason and Chad (Jenny); cousins, Norine and Terri (Brian). Close friends, Rich, John, Jeff, Chris, and Mike.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brothers, PL Anderson and Carl Anderson; mother-in-law, Mary Luokka and brother-in-law, Eric Luokka.

Tony's family would like to express their many thanks to the nurses at McLaren Nuero ICU; as well as his new employer and colleagues at Al Serra. Thank you to family and friends who supported us. Your heartfelt words and acts of kindness have not gone unnoticed, we are so very thankful for each and every one of you.
