Tony was a 1988 graduate and was very proud of his catholic education. He attended McNeese University, where he studied business management and marketing. He was a member of the National Guard and a Desert Storm Veteran. The best days of his life were those spent with his family and friends and being such a wonderful advocate and servant for his community.

Tony was serving his second term as the District 15 Police Juror. He took great pride in his work as the Chairman of the Special Services District Review Committee, Vice-Chairman of the Public Works Committee and Chairman of the Personnel Policy Review Committee, while also serving as the Liaison of West Cal-Cam Hospital. Tony spent over 25 years in the car industry and was most recently working as the Fleet and Commercial Manager at Mike Willis Ford in Sulphur. He loved the Sulphur Tors and would often be heard cheering them on every Friday. He was a charter member and analyst for the Tornado Radio Network. He was an involved and engaged community leader who leaves behind a great legacy of public service. He will be missed dearly.
