Sad doesn't begin to describe the pain my family and i are feeling, Tony was my best friend and my big brother we talked just about everyday and 99% of the time everyday,
He loved talking and like i told alot of people he would talk so much i had to get a bluetooth,
I never rushed him off the phone or hung up cause i was doing something.
Some days i was working on things or he was and we were giving advice back and fourth, I'm his younger brother but he still valved my opinion and knowledge because he knew chances are I've fixed it or know how if he hasn't before.
That being said we all know if Tony didn't know how to do something give him a few hours and he'll evaluate it and get it fixed, he would gather any info he could and dig straight into any project, he just knew sometimes he could run it by me and chances are i may have done it, it goes both ways we bounced ideas around alot, what one of us didn't know chances are the other did.
When we were talking about anything and everything like i said I'd never tell him i got to go but if my mom called him when we were talking he dropped me like chopped liver,
it was funny i never minded, one thing about Tony is he loved his family with a full heart and i miss him everyday, somedays when i try to keep busy and he slips my mind for a brief moment i feel guilty, its truly the hardest thing I've been though in my life and life will never be the same, it isn't right what happened and it makes me sick, i can't sleep and when i do i just don't want to wake up when i finally get up everyday i hope its a nightmare. I keep having this visual in my head of me standing next to Tony in the casket at funeral home and me looking down at him and being so sad and me looking back over my shoulder and tony standing there with his hand on my shoulder because thats where he should of been.
I know Tony would want me to find light in the darkness but its a hard long road, i do think about all the good times and remember what a good brother and friend he was, he would help anyone if he knew you needed help, you didn't have to ask he just showed up because thats the guy he was
Lately i have been questioning myself "what would Tony do"
Its hard because he was a big part of my life and after his friend Dustin passed we grew even closer which i wouldn't have thought was possible cause we've always been really close
I've told this story many times and I'll tell it again, it goes to prove the man Tony was and has always been.
In my teen years i decided to buy a motorcycle i got insurance and down payment but when it came time to pick it up i didn't have a motorcycle permit but being young that didn't matter to me i figured I'd drive it home and get it the next day or soon after... that didn't happen, to my surprise i go to pick up my new motorcycle from the dealership and surprise Tony is there waiting with his truck and straps... so no i didn't get to ride it home and no i didn't ride it for about a week and if remember correctly i didn't even have the key Tony did, yeah i was mad and probably upset at the time to have paid and be paying on something i couldn't drive but looking back over the years as i tell people that story i know that even when i didn't know it or was to blind to see it Tony was always there and looking out for me even when i didn't even know it just like he has always done for me and our family.
The hardest part is he isn't here to talk to or call or come to birthdays or holidays,
Its been hard him not calling like he use to everyday and when i have a dumb question i can't ask him anymore, no more sending him a picture when i see a car that looks like his and joking "oh i didnt know you were here" and him saying "you ain't right"
We haven't been able to get Tony's belonging but this post isn't about that, that is a whole different problem which would make him sick to see.
This is suppose to be an uplifting place to share good memories of Tony and thats what it will stay.
I wirte this because i feel selfish not sharing the man my brother was and yes this will probably bring sadness with joy to anyone who reads this, i know that tony lives on in our memories and story's so please if you can share any story's or memories you have because as some people may find comfort in reading this his family and friends can all find some level of comfort in hearing others story's because Tony was a great guy and left an impact and good impressions anywhere he went nobody could say a bad word about Tony.
I've been saying to everyone and I'd like to reiterate it here too, my brother would never leave anyone to deal with a mess or to deal with a problem of his, he wasn't a weak man and he always took care of things he never left things unfinished i may not know everything but i do know the sky is blue, it gets dark at night, and i know my brother more than i know myself

The Caprigliones have always been a 2nd family to me. Tony was a big brother I always looked up to and learned from. He was wise beyond his yrs and could always give great advice.
You will always be missed and never forgotten.
Till we meet again my friend.

I haven't seen Tony since a couple yrs out of high school but man o man was he something else. He was so funny! I remember him saying something about some girl making him feel like a piece of meat with feet obviously he was joking but just how he said it and the facial expressions had me rolling with laughter and I still use his line to this day just playing around! Forever missed but never forgotten! Love u Tony

I'm very saddened to find out you're gone. I remember when I first met you way back in junior high. I was the new guy, and only knew a couple people. One of those people was your little sister, and I had a bit of a crush on her. I remember you walking up to me, introducing yourself as her brother and me thinking I was about to get beat up by a protective brother. To my surprise, you were really nice to me and we became friends pretty quickly. Also, to my surprise you gave me tips on how to flirt with her and playfully pick on her. You also had my back when I myself was being picked on. I only had a couple friends at that time, but you made sure I knew you were one of I've always been grateful for that.
You were a great guy and I'll never forget you. Thank you for some great memories. You'll be missed for sure..

I met Tony in 2013 when Dustin and I started dating. He was always very friendly and happy when I saw him, I was very happy for him when he got his most recent job as he was sooo excited to start doing something he loved and get paid a lot of money to do it .Tony and Dustin were great friends and always had time to help each other out no matter how busy they were. I will always remember his smiling face and welcoming soul.

Hey Tony, I went by your new place the other day. I couldnt figure out where you were but I love the place, its very pretty, and peaceful. Its right by my house
I need to get with your Mom or Sister and get your exact spot.
I just wanted you to know how I will always cherish your memory, and the friendship we had. My only regret is how we lost touch. You were the best friend, always making time for us when we needed you for anything, and you could always make me laugh! And thats hard to do lol.
You had such an awesome personality, and I feel blessed to have had you as a friend. I have several memories that I'll have to tell your Mom about one day
The night we had to go get my Son Mark when he was in trouble....jeez! And the night you swore you saw Blake in the basement to name a few. Please try and send your family some signs. They miss you so very much. I hate that this happened!! Watch over us all. Ill come by your place again soonâ¤

Tony, I can't understand this. You were such an amazing big brother. You cared so much for us as siblings. You never once made me feel like I wasn't good enough. You always loved me. Growing up I remember how much you loved me. You always made me feel special and never let me doubt how lucky I was to have you.
I can't understand how you're not here. I can't imagine a birthday or holiday without you. I don't ever want to. I feel like I'll just be waiting for you every time, like Tony's not here we can't sing Happy Birthday yet this is so hard. I've been strong but I don't want to. I want you to come be my big brother and protector and tell me I don't have to be strong.
Please look after our family. I know I need you but I'm strong and will figure this all out! They need you so much.
I love you so much and I promise I will carry on your legacy with how smart, strong and loving you've always been.
Thank you for teaching me so much. And always being so patient with me.

Tony,
Our song "One More Day" by Diamond Rio is the perfect way to describe the way I feel inside. I can't imagine this world without your Loving Spirit. Without your Kind & Honest Heart so Truly Sincere, your Smile & ability to make people laugh w/your quick wit & humor.
The 10+ years we spent together are full of Memories! Trips to Owensville (CPC) :)
(The Cool Brothers) :) Sinking Our Boat! :),
The Bahamas, Poker Nights @ Shaun's, & Camping (Every place Karl knew of). The countless nights you tucked Charlotte (Kiddo, Buddy, Baby Bear)in to sleep (Papa Bear):)
Your memory lives on inside her heart & in the future how she will choose someone who loves her as deeply & as true as her Uncle Tony.
I hope your energy now lives in the same place of being Completely Free(A sense of Weightless Flying)as you used to compare to riding on your motorcycle/four wheeler).
Our souls will Forever be connected by an inseparable bond.
With Much Love....Until Next We Meet! Dana
Everyday Matters!!! Measure Not....The Milestones.....But....The Moments!!
