His parents brought him home to Ponca City, where they started their family with their baby son. Tony attended Liberty Elementary School and graduated from Clark County Adult High School in Las Vegas, NV. Tony lived every day, to its fullest. He enjoyed the Boy Scout trips with his dad, as well as, the times they spent together fishing and anytime they were together. Tony loved his family. He enjoyed family gatherings and liked playing with his two great-nieces.

Tony had a love for semi-trucks and wanted to be a truck driver, so he went to truck driving school and began his career. He was at his happiest when he was in his truck, driving coast to coast. In his travels, he saw a lot of the country, as well as things and places he had always wanted to see. Tony had a companion on some of his trips. He rescued a small dog at a truck stop. He and “Taco” were meant to be. Tony would call family members at least once a week and would be so excited to share his journey on the road. He had many stories to tell.

Tony had a big heart and was always willing to help anyone in any way he could.
