If you knew Tony, you knew he loved the Lord, his family, and a classic corny joke. He was an attentive listener, but he had much wisdom to offer. A loyal and humble servant in all areas, Tony received great joy from helping others. He leaves a legacy of joy, patience, and long-suffering that will far surpass his time on earth. Tony was born in Miller County on September 10, 1949 to Frank and Elaine Warren. He was in the graduating class of 1967 from Miller County High School and went on to be a diligent and meticulous truck driver for MR & R Trucking, Smith Transfer, and Yellow Freight, where he received the million miler safe driver certificate. After retiring from Yellow Freight, his desire to drive continued with 10 years of service to Ryder Transportation. He has been a faithful and loving husband to his wife, Stacy, of nearly 26 years; you rarely saw one without the other. He was a patient and gentle father who exemplified Christ's love for us to Jason (Joanne), Josh (Jessica), Morgan (Hunter), and his two four-legged babies, Lulu and Lola; a witty and playful grandfather to Mark, Danny, Casey, Sam, Zeke, Evie, Canaan, Micah, Eli, and Judah. 

He was preceded in death by his beloved son, Jason; his parents, Frank and Elaine, siblings, Lamar, Dorothy, Carlton, Joe, Louie, Margaret, and Frazier. He leaves behind his brothers Charles and Jerry and his sister Peggy.
