Sorry it’s taken so long to do this, but I still haven’t come to grasp of losing such a true and close friend. Although we were different in so many ways we gelled perfectly. So many great times we had(as we all had with him). I will always cherish my memories with you, RIP my dear friend!! Love You! See you on the other side!

To all of us it was a shock of his passing. Way to young to go. Life is so precious so make the most of each day.  

Tony we only known each for a short time when we were neighbors.  But you took me in as brother and shown around the neighborhood. You were always into cars and that amazed me. Your family were good to me and my dad. May your family take comfort in knowing you are home with your Heavenly family.  May you watch over your family and rest in peace brother!💖

Tony was always so nice to chat with and had a great sense of humor.  Prayers to his family and friends.  Tony will be missed. Rest In Peace my friend.

I remember when we lived in the heights.  Our families lived across the alley from each other.  Tony was the first boy whoever kissed me.   Rest on Peace my friend. 

I'm not sure when he started hanging with some of my Brother's, being either I was to young or wasn't born yet, but along with all the other boy's from the height's they were like family to us, Tony you were such a nice guy  always smiling so nice and respectful to everyone, it saddened me when I found out about his passing. Tony you will be truly missed fly high with the Angel's  my thoughts and prayer's go out to the family.     Susie Grow  (Beardsley)

RIP, Tony. You were truly a "good guy" and you'll be dearly missed by all who know and love you. Prayers to your family. Brad and Amy Witt

Tony made everyone smile 😊 it was a true Blessing to have known him ❣🌹

I met Tony when I was in 7th grade we did alot of school skiping together and just being kids we all grew up and started our own lives it's very sad time for everyone my prayers for the family and friends . God bless everyone.

Tony was always a super nice guy. I met him years ago through my non-biological mom Donna Knight. He always seemed to have a smile on his face and every now and then I'd run into him at Mi-Bar and chit-chat with him. I kept up with he and mom on facebook and all of the trips they would go on together. Such a sad loss. My condolences to family and friends.

I was recently re-united with Tony, after seeing his Post on Muskegon's Memory Lane, and for that, I am totally grateful. In 1965 (Tony was only 4) I met his family while growing up in Muskegon Heights. We both lived in the 2500 block, but his family was on 9th St., and mine was on 8th. I am very saddened by his passing...Rest in Peace, my friend

I had a lot of good times with Tony, having a few beers at the Port Hole, Town Tavern, Innis Inn, Club Ed-Mar, Time Out etc. Recently we were talking about the good old days at MI Bar and about the crazy posts on Facebook. Yup, you will be missed my brother.

Thinking of and sending my condolences to the Rivera family.  Tony and I grew up together in Muskegon Heights  and he was my first sweetheart.  Rest peacefully Tony.
