Tony was born in Pampanga, Philippines. He grew up in St. Peters, MO and he later resided in Pennsylvania before relocating back to O’Fallon, MO this past December.

Tony was a fun spirited soul who never knew a stranger. He was in the business of people as a national recruiter and found great joy in helping others.  Always willing to lend a hand, a listening ear or word of advice. And oh, he was a goofball – enjoyed a good laugh.  He was definitely witty and fun.

If you knew Tony, FAMILY was his everything – his main priority.  He took great pride in that. His ultimate goal was to have a big loving family and he had it. Tony’s kids are what drove him in this life. Along with being super dad to Baylee, Rob, Noah, and Emma – Tony, was the best grandpa to his granddaughter Yuuki. Tony always radiated love and kindness for his granddaughter and strived to be never less than great. They will carry Tony’s heart, love, and laughter with them always.

In lieu of any ceremony because Tony would not want anyone to cry for him – we ask that one and all go on living good, giving lives. We ask that you consider organ and/or tissue donation as Tony did with his last act of giving to this world. Live well, love strongly and be kind.
