Tony was born on March 24, 1941, the youngest child of the late Shuford Harrison Belk and the late Nancy Godfrey Belk. He went Home to be with his Lord and Savior on Friday, January 15, 2021 due to complications of COVID 19. Tony was raised in a loving, Christian family in Kannapolis, North Carolina. He was an Eagle Scout; a proud, but anguished Viet Nam Veteran, and a grateful graduate of Phifer University. Tony worked for Duke Energy as a Marketing Representative for many years. Prior to his retirement in 2011, he was the Supervisor of the Grounds Department of Well Spring Retirement Community for 17 years. Tony enjoyed a good (or bad) game of golf, growing vegetables in his garden, loving on his puppies Jack and Gracie, and performing little acts of kindness for others.
He was preceded in death by his only sister, Edna Ruth Pennell. Left to live without him until they meet in heaven are his loving wife of 36 years, Martha Kay Sholar Belk; brothers, Shuford Belk, Ralph Belk, and Doug Belk; daughter, Shannon Honeycutt; step-children, Kelly Scott and Adam Johnson; 5 grandchildren; 3 great-grandchildren, and a host of nieces and nephews.
