Tony Abbott Memorial Fund

We are shocked and sad to tragically lose such a warm, generous, and hilarious person in Tony Abbott. On January 29, Tony (46) started his day with one of his favorite activities (mountain biking), but after returning home, quickly fell ill and suffered a fatal heart attack.

Tony's life was filled with wonderful family and friends and many hobbies and interests (photography, kayaking, camping, and video editing to name just a few). He was a fan of anything Marvel or Star Wars and the go-to guy for questions related to car repair, technology, and building the perfect campfire.

Tony leaves behind his wife and best friend, Hillary, and 15-year-old son, Parker. Those that knew Tony know that he loved to take care of his family, taking videos and photos of significant (and not-so-significant) occasions, making special meals, and planning family camping trips. He was extremely proud of Parker and was excited to see where his skills and interests would take him in life.

The news has been shocking to all and many have asked how they can support the family during this time. Please continue to share your love and care with the family, your stories, and your photos. These are priceless to Hillary and Parker.

For those who want to contribute monetarily to helping Hillary and Parker through this time, we have set up this GoFundMe page.

If you want to give, thank you. If you choose to support Hillary and Parker in other ways, thank you. We appreciate you for lifting them up however you can as they adjust to this abrupt and unexpected loss.

We lost a beloved son, brother, husband, father, uncle, and friend too soon and are thankful for your support in honoring and remembering Tony. We are touched by the comments of those who knew him as we did and describe him as a gentle, caring, genuine, positive, witty, generous, and all-around wonderful human.

Please live each day with humor and let those you love know it...just like Tony did.
