Tony graduated from William Chrisman High School and furthered his education at Southwest Baptist University and Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. He dedicated his life to serving others, pastoring several churches across Missouri, and sharing his faith as a missionary in Togo, West Africa from 2002 to 2010. Additionally, Tony imparted his knowledge to students as an adjunct professor at Rockhurst University.
He is survived by his loving wife, Marlene; son, Logan; daughter, Elizabeth of Saint Louis, MO; and his mother, Carol Dudley of Independence, MO. Tony was a member of The Road Church of Grain Valley, MO, where he enjoyed participating in various community and spiritual activities.
Tony had a creative and inventive spirit, enjoying hobbies such as jewelry making, metal smithing, gardening, and 3D printing. These activities brought great joy to his life and those around him.
Services to celebrate Tony's life will be held on Thursday morning, November 7, at The Road Church in Grain Valley, MO. Visitation will begin at 10 a.m., followed by a memorial service at 11 a.m.

I had not heard of Tony´s passing till now. I am shocked and saddened.
Lost touch with him the past several years but I fondly remember our interactions at FBCLS, his passion for the Lord, his family, and the lively discussions about the band U2.
Sending love and hugs to the family and anyone else impacted by Tony´s passing.
