Hi Megan,
I know it is the 2nd anniversary of Tony's death and he will be honored in Colorado Springs tomorrow. I continue to hold you close in my heart. Thinking of you and sending love.

I am so saddened by the loss of Tony.

I met Tony during the Reed Ambulance days.  He was an impressive man at that time - interested, involved, motivated, and motivating.  You were made better having known Tony.  His infectious smile, his sincerely curious wonderment were a constant reminder of how great the future was going to be. 

Go with God my friend.

Unsurprisingly, Tony was a bright, positive influence on my life.   I first met Tony at Hinkley High School in Aurora - he was an upperclassman offering nothing but encouragement when we played football together, and even then it seemed like he knew what he wanted to be.     Contrary to news reports on Tony's "21 years" in fire and EMS - he had more like  35+....even in high school Tony was shadowing on ambulance rides and was preparing himself for his incredible career. 

Years after high school, I sought my own EMT certification and Tony offered to help me with my clinicals.   Being in EMS changed my life, and Tony's unflagging dedication and cheery professionalism was the perfect introduction.    I cannot thank you enough, Tony, and I thank your family for sharing you with the world every single shift you worked.   - jm 

Palato Family & Coworkers,

Tony and I worked together at Sheridan Fire (SFD), many years ago. I remember Tony having a great heart, being great at his job, and having a great laugh! I am so sorry for your loss. Although it has been many years since I have last seen Tony, his loss is immensely felt. 
To my brothers and sisters of the South Metro Fire Department, my brothers from SFD, Dan Box, Sheldon Padilla,  sorry for the loss of your brother.

Having known this amazing family for many years, I was the recipient of the fun filled stories Howard brought home from the office over his years of interaction wuth them. And then getting to know them when I moved  to Denver has been a joy  - attending weddings and watching each of them and their children grow up. Continued prayers for healing,  strength,  courage and peace to all. 

Megan and family,
I am so heartbroken for you and all of the family. Tony was such a fine husband, dad, friend and colleague to so many. He will be so dearly missed. My heart and prayers are with you.

Our sweet Tony, I will miss you.  You were such a good man, and I was truly blessed  to have been an adopted part of the Palato-Alford family. Oh how you and I would laugh when we would pull a prank on Allen. I will see you again in Heaven my friend.

Tony was my Uncle on my Mother's side. And there were many milestones where Uncle T. played my Father figure, role because my Dad chose not to. But one of my most favorite memories is the night Uncle T. took me to an empty parking lot for a driving lesson.  After about an hour or so the lesson was over we switched seats and he asked me to do him a favor...every time I decided to get behind the wheel of a vehicle he asked me to pick up the phone and give him a call. I said, "ok, why?" 
His response was..."So I make sure to stay home!"
Lol 
Turns out he was spot on, I'm the worst driver this family has 2 offer!
Words can't form into a sentence that seems appropriate enough..
Uncle Tony was my Hero long before he became an active duty servant! After this past 5 years I've come 2 realize that he played a Hero to so many more, I'm so proud of the Man I was lucky enough to know and love and now he's my Guarding Angel 😇 along with many other's.
I'm so blessed to have shared so many warm memories with him, because I know the upcoming Holiday seasons will be very empty without him. 
Until the next time...
I love u Uncle T.! 


Tony and I were partners and we had so much fun always laughing. He wanted to use radio headsets in the ambulance when either of us was in the back so we would not have to shout . It worked well and then it became a game we wore them every where.  As many of you that worked with him you know his passion and care. He will be truly missed

God speed my friend 




Great memories of his positivity and energy!  Tony will be missed.  As others have said, he impacted many lives— not just patients but the people he worked with…. His energy doesn’t end.

I am sorry for “our” loss and pray for comfort for his family- please know he
was a great spirit in our midst.

Oh little brother, the days of you being so small and watching you grow into the man you became is just wonderful memories in themselves.  Playing football in the front, your laughter, smile and just plain silliness that you brought to all that you touched will forever be in bedded. You were an angel here on earth and now one in heaven. You will forever be loved.
