TONY SUAREZ FUNERAL ASSISTANCE

Asking for help is something Tony and I would ever have expected to do, especially in this type matter. 

Right now, I am reaching out for help in order to lay Tony to Rest after his sudden and unexpected passing on April 27th. 

We thought we had all our ducks in a row, but when he passed, we were less than 2 months shy of completing a 2 year waiting period on our life insurance policies. Only 2 months and this page to ask for help would not be needed. Unfortunately – we/he did not make the 2 yr mark. We tried.

Tony was a good man, literally dedicated his life to taking care of those in need: his family, friends, neighbors, strangers, pets, etc. and Tony never asked for anything in return to do so.  Nor did he get discouraged when times were tough for him – he always said - "the Lord will provide"... 

This is why I am now reaching out my hand - to family, friends, neighbors, organizations, etc...  anyone who will help me - to raise enough funds to pay the balance due on his funeral service so I can lay him to rest. 

We have had many donations thru another site, however, we are at a point where the balance of Tony's funeral service needs to be paid so a Final Date to have his Funeral Service can be set.   And we are short on the funds to finalize any further...

For 2 weeks I have been selling/liquidating things to help with this expense, but I am not getting close enough yet to do this without asking for help.

It has been a struggle, I just can't do it alone...

Will you help me please to be able to lay him to rest as soon as possible...

Tony and I need your help, and I am humbly reaching out with a tear filled heart ...

Also – please know that your donations, sharing this link, and helping me - is helping Tony in a heavenly way - to be able to get him to his final resting place.

Tony loved his family - more than anyone knows....or may realize. Family & Friends were his foundation, his strength, sharing love was his light. Regardless of how much time in between talks or visits with anyone - his love – for those in his heart was abundant.

Tony loved people, his compassion was immeasurable.  Literally, I have seen him take off his shoes and give them to someone who may have needed them more than he did, or give his food order to someone who was hungry...

Tony is scheduled to have a funeral service at Houston National Cemetery - A VA Cemetery.

However, until I get the remaining funds and pay the costs - he cannot be laid to rest In Honor - as he deserves - among st his Navy family of friends>> with his Family & Friends there to say a final Good-Bye...you all deserve that, and I love you all for helping me to get thru this difficult time...

Will you help me, help Tony --- please...

Any amount you can spare, will be a gift to Tony and his memory/legacy.


**************************************************

Tony was born on October 13, 1957 in Chicago, Illinois to Claude G. and Eva C. Suarez. He grew up in Houston, Texas and graduated from Stephen F. Austin High School in 1977.

After High School, Tony Served in the US Navy from 1978 to 1983 and served on the USS Enterprise (CVN-65) the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and the largest active warship in the world when commissioned by the US Navy.

Tony and his Service Dawg "Duke" were dedicated volunteers at two branches of the Texas Children's Hospital Network and several nursing home / retirement home communities bringing love and light to those in need of smiles and sunshine.

Tony was Longtime Member/Canine Rescue/Foster Parent with Barrio Dogs, BARC, Houston Humane Society and the SPCA.

Tony was Lifetime Member of the Navy Sea Forces Group, USS Enterprise (CVN65) and the Navy Vet Friends Group of USS Enterprise (CVN65)

Tony never met a stranger and if they did not have a sense of humor - they did when they walked away. Tony loved 70's Rock N Roll: The Beatles & The Eagles were his favorites. Tony loved to cook & BBQ and made sure everyone had a full belly when he did. Tony was a man that would rather give than receive, he was a peacemaker, kind, compassionate, generous, forgiving, never judgmental and he loved unconditionally.

Tony was a strong man of faith -  he loved the Lord with the strength of an army!  His love and faith for the Lord was intense.

When someone needed a gentle reminder or had a question about faith, Tony would recite his favorite quote:

"When we act on God’s Word, we give Him honor and glory. Faith in the absolute authority of the Word of God requires no other evidence. What God has already said and what God has already done, believe it in your heart, say it with your mouth, then act like it’s true. That’s faith that gives glory to God."
