Tony was raised by his grandmother who he loved to death. She raised him from a boy to a man with the help and love of his mother who also was around. He loved to listen to dusties on the weekend with his grandmother. He loved her pork-n-beans and hot dogs. He also loved his father very much and he was very close to him and spent many summers with him. He loved his sister Lil C very very very very much. He loved spending time with his step kids during family outings, and loved going to Carlie's basketball games and never missed a game. And never allowed a woman to carry anything. The first day he met Pepper he said he was going to marry her. Through the good times and bad every day has made them closer and stronger.

    Everyone who knew Tony even if for a little while was so blessed to have known someone so great. Everyone he has touched with his life is now even more blessed to have him looking over them. You think he was protective here on earth of his family, wait til you see what he does for you while he's in the presence of God. God's peace be with the entire Buck family.

    I was truely blessed to spend the last year with Tony and I will cherish all the memories we had. My prayers go out to everyone who knew and loved Tony, especially his daughter Taeja and his family. The boys and I will always love him and never forget him. Tony did so much for everyone he knew and so much for me and the kids. I couldn't thank him enough for going to the diabetes classes to learn how to care for Christian...only a man like Tony would step up and care for a child to that extent that was not even his bioligical child. He was and always will be amazing. May you all only have fond memories and smile, not cry, when you think of him. Since I'm Breathing, I'm Gonna Praise The Lord!!! (Psalm 150:6) Let everything that has Breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD! I love you Tony Buck!

    The Buck-Sutton Family sends their deepest sympathy and love to the Buck-Young Family. We have many fun and fond memories of little Tony and his sweet and loving attitude always surpass others. We regret that we haven’t stayed in touch and it’s only moments like these that we wish we had. Charlice, Lil Charlice and Tyree and all other family members stay strong and know that Christ is on the throne. James 4:8 says draw close to God, and he will draw close to you meaning you can call on him and Jehovah will comfort you. Revelation 21 gives us the promise of the resurrection of seeing Tony, our love one again, saying “And he will wipe out every tear’ from their eyes, and death will be no more,” neither mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. Lil Tony rest in peace, Auntie Baby loves you and will always keep you in my heart and memories.
