He was of the Baptist faith and was a member of Piney Grove Baptist Church. Tony was a 1969 graduate of East Limestone High School where he would participate in basketball, football, and Track and Field. He competed in the 100 - yard dash where he was undefeated, as well as the 220 and the 440 relay. He started his professional career as a salesman for Otasco where he would receive the “Top Salesman” Award in 1979 for his outstanding performance. He would then go on to dedicate 23 years of service to the Limestone County Sheriff’s Department. From humble beginnings as a road deputy, he would eventually help create and lead the first Drug Task Force. Later in his career, he would serve as Chief Investigator as well as Captain. He was awarded the Alabama Police Officer of the Year in 1986. He worked hard for his community doing a job he loved and respected all the way up until his retirement in 1999. After retirement, Tony enjoyed spending his free time gardening, fishing, as well as spending quality time with his friends and family. In 2013, Tony purchased a farm in Prospect, Tennessee. His free time was soon consumed with daily chores such as cleaning, bush-hogging, and generally working around the farm. In 2018, Tony and his wife Sonia moved off the grid and into a small cabin while they built their forever home on top of a hill with a beautiful view that God led him to find.
