Tony was a beloved friend, father, husband, and grandfather who touched the lives of everyone around him. After a courageous three and a half month battle with heart disease and heart failure, Tony passed away on April 12, 2026. His loss has left a deep void in the hearts of his family and friends, especially his wife Monika, 10-year-old daughter Nico, son Mathew, and grandchildren, who are now facing an incredibly difficult time.

Tony was also a long-time coach who supported the kids of the Oak Forest community. He dedicated 18 years to coaching the youth, inspiring countless young people and leaving a lasting legacy in the community he loved. His commitment to helping others extended far beyond his own family, and he will be remembered for his generosity, leadership, and kindness.

We are raising funds to help cover the unexpected costs of Tony's funeral and the medical expenses that accumulated during his illness. In addition, we hope to provide some financial relief for his family as they adjust to life without him. Tony was the cornerstone of his family, and your support will help ensure they can continue to live comfortably while they mourn his loss.

We ask for your kindness and generosity during this time of grief. Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference for Tony's family. Thank you for standing with them and honoring Tony's memory.
