Antonio Jones

                   Antonio Lamar Jones was born on June 2nd 1991 to Sheila Jones. In Toni's very early years he was cared for by the Riggins where he learned his love of animals while living on a farm feeding horses and collecting eggs. He considered Pepper, Rica, Anwar and Tito as his sisters and brothers and TZ Riggins as his father. When Toni was two he moved home with his grandmother, Carla Olson and sisters, Jade and Nunu Jones, where he fell in love with camping and living free. Toni was the only boy that Carla had and she raised him to be a loving and helpful young man. Even with his frustration about being told what to do and what not to do his love for Carla showed in so many ways from the yard work he did to the tattoo he has across his heart "Grandma Carla". When his younger cousin Theotry Olson was born Toni finally had another boy to be his partner in crime. His younger sister Camille came later and brought a whole other element to his life from being the annoying little sister to being the little sister he looked out for and loved. His younger cousin Glorious came just before Camille and throughout the years they shared many moments of laughter and joy. Live music and traveling were regular events in Toni's life, as were running around barefoot and shirtless, which he continued to do for the rest of his life whenever he had the chance. Toni loved his family and friends and never held a grudge. As a young man he made many mistakes but learned from every one of them and continued to grow every step of the way. With guidance from his close friends and family he was becoming the man he wanted to be. He worked at UPS and even tho it was tough getting up to go to work he made it happen. He was beginning to acknowledge his responsibilities and take action. He loved the outdoors, video games, girls, paint balling, and hanging out with his friends but most of all he enjoyed the company of his brother Mohammed and best friend Will Baker. The love of Toni's life was Arkisha Brownell who was a constant positive influence in his life also helping him grow. Just as he began to make the progress he really wanted he was taken from us. His memory will live on through his friends and family. His radiant smile and goofy laugh will forever be apart of us. Whenever you spend the day at mount baker think of him and his crazy flips off the doc. Or when you spend a week camping remember how much Toni loved it. He was a brother, friend, nephew, grandson, uncle, cousin, lover, and he leaves behind so many who loved him and cared deeply. He will forever be remembered and missed.
