With heavy hearts, we share the unexpected passing of our beloved Anthony “Tony” Arends. This loss has come as a shock to our family and all who knew and loved him. Tony was a light in our lives—known for his kindness, generosity, and the way he made others feel seen and cared for. He lived life to the fullest—he worked hard, played hard, and loved even harder.

During this incredibly difficult time, we are navigating not only the emotional weight of this loss but also the financial burden that comes with it. We are asking for support to help cover funeral and memorial expenses so we can honor Tony in a meaningful and respectful way.

In lieu of flowers, we kindly ask that you consider contributing to this fund. Any additional support will go toward easing the financial strain on the family as we take time to grieve and begin to heal.

No amount is too small, and every act of kindness means more than words can express. If you’re unable to give, we ask that you keep our family in your thoughts and prayers and share this page with others.

Thank you for your love, support, and compassion during this time.

With gratitude,

The Arends Family
