Israel Anthony Padilla (1970–2025)

The world became a little less bright on October 3, 2025, with the passing of Israel "Tony" Anthony Padilla. Tony was born the eldest of three on June 16, 1970, in San Antonio, Texas to Dolores and Israel R Padilla.

Tony is survived by his parents Dolores and Israel R Padilla, his brothers Ronnie and Michael Padilla. Partner Sandy McDaniel. Tony was a devoted father to Anthony, Nicole, CJ, Isriana and Naomi. A loving Uncle to his numerous nieces and nephews and a grandfather to ten grandchildren. Whether he was telling jokes, hosting family or friends or showing off his infamous fishing spots; Tony made every moment unforgettable.

Tony was a generous friend and possessed an uncanny ability to connect to with just about anyone. He possessed a brilliant mind and an empathetic heart. He was so caring and helped anyone who needed it.

Tony's adventurous spirit and boundless enthusiasm will live on in the hearts of those who loved him.
