"Tony" May God bless your family who are left behind, especially your grandmother. We all love you and will miss you greatly. We remember you laughing at our jokes, talking about your plans for the future and how excited you were when you purchased your car so that you could go to school. You called us when you were able to get a job at another subway up there. We are sure your family is proud to know that you were a great, hard worker, honest and respectful young man with a very bright future. Tony you will live in our hearts forever. May the Lord have by his side now. RIP

He worked for Subway Restaurant in Zapata. He was a great kid, his dream was to become a doctor. He was so excited to go off to college, how was he to know what awaited him.

God Bless you always

tony was one of my very good friends...
it didnt hit me that he was gone until i went to the rosary yesterday...

im gonna miss his smile, his eyes, his laugh and the stupid jokes he'd make just to put a smile on my face...
i remember everytime i was sad.. he'd always be like "awww wuts wrong... did u catch the clap?" [an std] haha
we sat in lunch together and never has there been a time when we stopped laughing...
all of his friends r really gonna miss him...
but we gotta be strong for him like he was always strong for us...
he wanted to follow in his mothers footsteps and get into the medical field...
he's in the arms of his mother now..
tony was a beautiful, remarkable young man, and the best friend anyone could ever ask for...
i believe he left the world a little bit better...
he touched many peoples hearts...
he might have changed the lives of others...
but i kno that he will always be in my mind, spirit, and heart
may he r.i.p
love you tony!!!
