He was a giver to the community. Tony was a vibrant, fun-loving kid who loved everyone. He possessed a smile that could light up the room. Tony was a big teddy bear, and was always willing to give a hug. Tony loved "The Lion King," and enjoyed attending a performance with his family recently. He loved life, and had aspirations of becoming a Broadway performer. Tony was happiest when he was performing. He relished time spent with friends and family and lived his life to the fullest.
