Tony is survived by his wife Becky L. Escalante; his kids, Rosa Linda, Antonio Jr., Eddie, Bernice, Emilio, Jennifer, Michael and Christopher; his grandchildren, Miranda, Fabian, Marisol, Diego, Kamron, Everly, Christopher, Eddie Jr., Gotham, Mercedez, Julian, Johnathan and Janessa; his siblings, Steve, Janie, Becky, Yolanda, Hopie, Carmen, Patsy, Martin, Louis, and Geneva; and numerous nephews, nieces and great-nephew and nieces, and many other family members and friends.
For those who had the pleasure of knowing and meeting Tony, they knew how much he loved spending time with his family and kids. He was a hard worker in the AC business and loved being a DJ on his time off.
He loved all kinds of music, he was the family jokester and clown, and he loved drinking black coffee - no matter the time or place. He was a loyal fan of the Dallas Cowboys and Texas Longhorns. He was always willing to help others in need with no questions asked.
To the man better known as Tony, Husband, Dad, Son, Brother, Tio, Uncle, Cousin, and Friend - you will be dearly missed…..R.I.P TONY
Pallbearers will be Alex, Tomas, Robert, Johnny, Fernando, Jose, Martin, Larry and Alvin.
