Thomas "Tommy" Anthony Boney

Thomas “Tommy” Anthony Boney was born in Biloxi, Mississippi on February 27, 1960 to Elwood and Mercedes (Seymour) Boney.  Tommy was a gentle and humble man and had a positive impact on everyone he met.

Tommy was a life-long resident of Biloxi and graduated from Biloxi High School in 1978.  He married his high school sweetheart, Anita Delahousey, in 1981, recently celebrating their 43rd wedding anniversary surrounded by their children and grandchildren.  Tommy enjoyed an extended career with Landmark Contracting, recently retiring after 40 years.  He was a loyal servant and member of Blessed Francis Seelos Catholic Church (formerly St. Johns).  He was an altar server as a young “Back Bay” boy, member of the parish’s Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) and went on to serve as a sacristan and dedicated parish member.  Tommy was also a proud recipient of the Lumen Christi (“Light of Christ”) medal presented to those who have been outstanding in their service in their parishes.   When not in church, he could be found at the baseball field or watching one of his grandson’s basketball games.  Tommy also supported Biloxi Little League for several years as a proud parent, coach, and League President devoted to the players and their families.
