Jose "Tony" Machado Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 27, 2025.
Jose "Tony" Toste Machado, born on March 5, 1964, passed away on July 21, 2025. Tony was a beloved husband to Carrie and a devoted father to daughters Emily and Sophia (Staci). He was the cherished son of Belmira and the late Jose C. Machado. Tony's loving presence will also be greatly missed by his siblings Elizabeth, Steven, Valerie and numerous nieces and nephews.

Tony spent his career as an asset manager, where he contributed significantly to the growth and success of Ciudad Plaza LLC and DaCare, Inc. His professional life was marked by a deep commitment to excellence and integrity.

A man of many passions, Tony enjoyed a range of outdoor activities that reflected his love for adventure and nature. He was an avid enthusiast of sand dunes, fishing, scuba diving, flying planes, and NASCAR. These hobbies brought him immense joy and excitement, showcasing his dynamic and spirited personality.

Tony was consistently described as kind, loving, upbeat, always supportive, and positive. These qualities not only made him a joy to be around but also a pillar of strength for his family and friends.

A service to celebrate Tony's life will be held at Mission San Luis Rey in Oceanside, CA, on Friday, September 5th at 1:00 PM. His life and legacy will be remembered fondly by all who knew him.
