Remembering Tony’s legacy ️
Donation protected
Hi all, I am a close family friend of Tony, his mom, and little brother. I hate that I have to write this or even try to process this horrible tragedy~
On July 6th, 2024 our beloved Tony at the young age (17) went to rest eternally. Tony was in a horrific car accident that took his life and his friends. A third friend in the vehicle is in critical condition and fighting for his life.
Tony was such a sweet boy and always willing to help others. He had a special gift with children and all that met him loved him. He loved the outdoors (fishing & basically anything with a motor). Tony was a great friend to countless teens in the community and leaves behind his little brother who looked up to him with such adoration.
As you can imagine, this is a mother and father’s worst nightmare. A knock at the door that no parent could fathom or wish on anyone. A knock at the door that forever changes the course of countless people’s lives. Parents who have to somehow process how to move forward without their son they brought into this world, who has left much too early. We would like to ensure the family can grieve properly without concerns of the costs of laying their son to rest and ask for financial donations from anyone who is willing/ wanting to donate in support of Tony’s memory. Prayers for the family & all involved are appreciated.
