John Anthony Ledford

Born on June 22, 1961 in Charlotte, he was the son of the late John H. and Betty W. Ledford. Tony graduated from Olympic High School, then later received an Associate Degree in Civil Engineering Technology from York Technical College. He was an Engineered Wood Products Manager at The Building Center, Pineville, NC.

Tony was a great friend to many. He had a huge heart and was always willing to help anyone in need. He will be greatly missed by those he loved so deeply. Tony enjoyed music and playing the guitar. Prior to his father's passing, the two would often sit together with their guitars for hours playing and singing. In addition to enjoying playing music with his father, he also had many friends that he played guitar with. He also loved the outdoors and enjoyed various outdoor activities, such as hiking, biking, mountain climbing and fishing.
