Tony Choate Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Tony Lynn Choate was born in Oak Ridge TN to Elizabeth Queen Choate and William Nelson Choate. He served in the United States Army during Vietnam. He married the love of his life, Jeannie, and together they raised two children. He loved God, his family and his country. He never met a stranger and had the gift of making everyone feel loved. He raised AKC registered beagles and did field trials with his brother Tim. Mr. Choate was a world traveler, but appreciated few places more than the ground on which his grandbabies walked. He is survived by his wife of 52 years, Jeannie Choate; children: Tonya (Glenn) Schroeder and Michael Choate; grandchildren: Elizabeth Schroeder (1 Lieutenant U.S. Air Force Matt) Fanelli, Grayson Schroeder, Haley Choate, and Katie Choate; brother: Tim Nelson (Nelda) Choate; and numerous nieces, nephews; and many special friends he counted as family. He is preceded in death by parents Elizabeth and William Choate, and siblings Charles Terry Choate and Gloria Norman.
