The eighth of 10 children, TJ was a graduate of in the Washington County High School Class of 1975. Upon graduating, he enlisted in the United States Army. Tony was employed as a journeyman pipefitter, with various other jobs. Tony's true gift was bringing his family and friends together. If you saw him smiling, you knew he was enjoying life. His passion was barbecuing, frying fish and watching Alabama football. His spirit just drew people to him; he had a big heart.
