Rev. William Anthony Daugherty

Rev. William A. Daugherty (Tony) age 67, of Franklin, Ohio, passed away peacefully on Thursday October 15, 2026, at home. Tony was born in Kettering, Ohio, on December 18, 1958. He was the son of the late Willie Daugherty and Zelma (Morris) Daugherty.

Tony lived a life defined by his faith, and above all his family. He was a graduate of the Full Gospel Bible Institute and Sinclair Community College. He was a skilled Ohio licensed Electrician as well as a Certified Master Technician. He retired January 31, 2026, from Commercial Parts and Services after many years of service.

Tony answered a higher call when he was called into the ministry. He was a devoted and faithful member of the Roberts Road Pentecostal Church where he taught the adult Sunday School, Ministered, and led the congregational singing. He brought joy and was an inspiration to so many. He loved to fish, hunt, and most of all spend time with his family. Holidays were special to him because he knew it would mean time with family and friends.

Tony was preceded in death by his parents and by his beloved Brother, Robert Joe.

He leaves behind the legacy he cherished the most his family. Tony is survived by his precious wife of 41 years, Kathy (Day) Daugherty, whose unwavering love was the foundation of his life. Together they raised two children who carry forward his strength, humor, and integrity. Nathan (Shyanne) Daugherty, Katrina (John) Haley.

He was the proud grandfather of John and Charlie Haley, Nash Daugherty, and an honorary granddaughter Anna Sharrett.

Tony is also survived by his sister Cassie Miller, brother Larry (Barbara) Daugherty, sister Tammy (Dale) Shannon, three Uncles Burgess, Roy, and Eddie Daugherty, and many nieces and nephews with whom he shared a lifetime of memories, laughter, and family traditions.

To know Tony was to know a man of unwavering faith, intellect, and quite strength. A son, husband, father, and grandfather who loved deeply. His impact endures in the lives he touched, the family he built, and the example he set.

He will be greatly missed.
