Anthony "Tony" David Pryor

He attended Memorial High School for 2 years and played in the Interns, an awesome band in Houston who opened for The Animals, Herman’s Hermits The Byrds and others at the Houston Coliseum and had a top ten single (Sally met Molly in Birmingham) on the KLIF chart. His senior year, he attended high school at Saint Martin’s Episcopal School in New Orleans before he was off to Baylor. At Baylor, he got both his undergraduate and law degrees. During his Baylor years, Tony was president of the Kappa Omega, Tau fraternity. He also played in The Oxford Circus and BT and Company bands. Tony was accomplished on the keyboard and the piano. Tony practiced law at Tenneco but music called to him. For a time, he played the piano at the Ritz Carlton. He went to work for Enron and was there when the company collapsed. Not long before, he met his future husband, Greg, at a Men’s Retreat at Margaret Austin Center and their lives became forever intertwined. Soon after Enron fell, he embarked on a new adventure and became a voice coach to help promote self-healing through singing through his Living Your Voice classes and workshops. He also found time for several church ministries including Heartscape at Palmer Episcopal and he did the music and played the keyboard at a special needs service at St. Andrews Episcopal until he passed. Tony leaves behind a trail of music, humor, kindness and love.

Tony is survived by his husband, James Gregory Chapman (Greg), his brother Barry Pryor and his sister Marsha Cannonie.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Montrose Center or the Houston Symphony (Tony had a passion for classical music).

A church service will be held at St. Andrews Episcopal at 10am on Friday, April 21, 2023 and a Graveside Service following at 1pm at Forest Park Lawndale Cemetery.
