   Tony was a lifetime Lathrop resident and graduated from Ripon Christian in 2010. After high school Tony went on to receiving his Associates degree from ITT Tech. He was a member of Grace Community Church of Lathrop where he was a part of the Visual Arts and Media Team. Tony loved his church and always looked forward to youth outings, friends, and new adventures with whatever God had in store for him. He enjoyed video games, movies, books, and creating projects on Photoshop. He was an avid knife collector and loved to visit the gun range.
 Tony was a caring young man who literally loved everyone. He was a loyal friend as he would always light up the room with his hugs and smiles. He never went a day or even an hour without telling his family and friends how much he loved them. Tony will be remembered as a man of God who loved his family, friends and church. He will be deeply missed.
