Tony was born on February 14, 1970 in Olive Hill, Kentucky. He was the son of Carlos and Loretta (Middleton) Gilliam. Tony proudly served his country in the United States Army, and worked as a truck driver. He was a jack of all trades, and put his talents to work in many different aspects of life. He creatively used pennies and made jewelry out of them. He collected old lawn motors and used them to make go-karts for his grandchildren. His talents were endless. He was a collector of many things; old singer sewing machines and cast iron skillets to name a few.
Tony leaves behind his wife of 9 years, Angie Sexton Gilliam; his siblings, Greg (Pam) Gilliam and Debbie (Mike) Shrader; and his nieces and nephews, Stevie, Nathan, Travis, Auston, Whitney, Hailey, and Cody. He was preceded in death by his parents; and his sister, Michelle Fliger.
