Time to be Born: On June 28,1961, Ms. Lodesser and the
late Lesley Kelly welcome into the world a bouncing baby boy full
of smiles and joy.

Time to be Saved: At an early age he joined Marietta Baptist
Church.

Time to Reflect: Tony graduated GoodwaterHigh School in
1980. Tony always wore a smile with a giving heart. He was a
dedicated worker at Tyson Foods for 20 plus years. He later was
employed by Samlip and was presently employed at Wingfield
Engineering where he encountered a host of dear friends. When Tony
wasn't working, you would find him underneath the hood of one of
his cars. His passion for animals started at a very young age. Caring
for his horses was the one that stood out. Tony never met a stranger.
If he met you, you already had a place in his heart. He was a very
likable man. He carried his own trademark. Anything canary yellow
you passed by on the road, it would be him. Last but not least, his
family was his pride and joy.

Time to Reset: Tony left the troubles of this world on
November 1,2014 to rejoice in heaven.

He leaves to cherish his memories: a loving mother, Ms.
Lodesser Kelly of Goodwater, Alabama; a daughter, Brandi Sims of
Huntsville, Alabama; two grandchildren, Yasmin and Gavin all of
Huntsville, Alabama; a brother, Vincent (Anita) Kelly of Columbus,
Georgia; a sister, Ardrienne Kelly of Erving, New Jersey; three aunts,
Barbara Kelly of Detroit, Michigan, Linda Jones and Mary Wilson
both of Millerville, Alabama; four uncles, Nehimah Lynch of Trenton,
New Jersey, Wayne Wilson, Dwight Wilson and Edward Wilson all
of Millerville, Alabama; a niece, nephews, other relatives and friends;
two special friends, Erskin McKinney of Goodwater,
Alabama and James King of Rockmart, Georgia.
