Mr. Thomas Antonio Tyler, affectionately known as “Tony”, departed this life suddenly on Thursday, October 1, 2020, at the age of 48 years old. Tony was born August 28, 1972, in Richmond, Virginia. He was preceded in death by his father, Thomas L. Tyler; sister, Erica Brown; maternal grandmother, Gladys Gorham; paternal grandparents, John and Aliene Tyler; and aunt, Barbara Tyler.

Tony attended Petersburg High School. Anyone that knew Tony or encountered his presence was easily attracted to his fun-loving spirit, and willingness to help anyone. He enjoyed cooking and entertaining family and friends. Tony loved his family and enjoyed getting together for a good laugh. He was a man with a heart bigger than his body and was always willing to extend a hand to others. He believed in living life to the fullest, then creating a next level if THAT wasn’t big enough. He was always looking to expand on a business endeavor.

He leaves to cherish his memories: a loving and devoted mother, Mrs. Bessie Tyler; one loving devoted brother, Timothy “Smalls” Tyler; children, Asia Hicks, Antaeyvious Motten, AnTae Motten, Aric Motton, Emory Delane, Jamarian Bates, Trandon Tyler, Thomias Tyler, Tylian Tyler, Te’ahrian Tyler, Shakira Batts, Giani Tyler, Gizalle Tyler, Ashley, and Tyonna Davis; five grandchildren, Leanah and R’riyana Tyler, Rylann, Elijah and Emilio Delane; maternal aunts and uncles, Patricia Davis (Bobby), Ann Gorham, Debbie Gorham, and Mary Hagans (Orlando) all of North Carolina, Benjamin Gorham of Texas, Charlie Gorham of South Carolina, and Jervona Gorham (Terry) of California; paternal aunts and uncles, Bessie Hoskins of Maryland, Alien Tyler of Washington, DC, Catherine Tyler of Hopewell, VA, and Archard Tyler (Ida) of Chesterfield, VA. Tony touched the lives of many friend too numerous to count, and left lasting impressions throughout Petersburg, Hopewell, Richmond, Tidewater, and North Carolina. He will truly be missed by all.
