He was preceded in death by his wife Linda Sisneros, his grandson Colby (Tami & Russell), his parents Juan and Marcelina Sisneros, and one brother Gilbert Sisneros as well as various others he loved.
Tony’s greatest joy in life was his family and he enjoyed spending many days with his grandchildren and great grandchildren who lived with him in North Las Vegas and visiting his living grandson in Colorado any chance he got. He shared an undying love for baseball with his great grandson Peirre and his grandson’s Terryn and Colby. Within the last few years, he was helping to coach his great grandkid’s baseball teams and had previously traveled to watch Terryn play club ball. He will always be remembered by his family and friends as someone who always had a smile, was very laid back, and had a very giving heart.
