Tony Perez

of Kerrville, TX

July 28, 1979 - September 21, 2023


  • Obituary
  • Guestbook
Antonio "Tony" Perez, 44, of Kerrville, TX, entered eternal life on Thursday September 21, 2023.

Born on July 28, 1979 in Uvalde, he is the son of Elena and Javier Ramirez. Tony lived in Uvalde as a young man and moved to Oglesby, TX as a teenager to reside with Uncle and Aunt Jesse and Rita Guerrero where his love for sports, BBQing and music began.

Tony moved back to Kerrville and began a 10+ year career at S&S Bridge painting where he traveled sandblasting, road-striping and painting bridges throughout Texas. Tony enjoyed traveling along the Hill Country roads, and the coastline driving to many fishing spots. Tony was an avid outdoorsman that loved golfing, camping and especially fishing in the early morning watching the sunrise on the ocean's horizon. One of many passions Tony has was coaching basketball, volleyball (local YMCA), boxing, softball (Kerrville and Ingram Little league) with those he held close to his heart. During Tony's years his love for grilling and smoking Traditional Texas BBQ was shared and enjoyed by many. Knowing Tony you knew his favorite football team is the Dallas Cowboys "We Dem Boyz", playing fantasy football, playing Texas Hold-Em, Dominos, listening to Tejano, country, rock-n-roll music and spending time with family and close friends laughing, talking, making witty-sarcastic jokes and enjoying each other's company.

Tony was preceded in death by his dog-ter of 5 years, Summer "Cardi-B'' Perez; surviving dog-ter, Winter Marie Perez and dog-son, Bruno "Burnt Bean'' Perez.

Tony will be deeply and truly missed by the loves of his life, wife of 15 years, Leslie and daughter, Ava Jasso; son, Ozzy Durate who resided in Live Oak, TX with his birth-mother and step-father.

Tony is the eldest to 4 siblings: sister, Estella with spouse Alex and children Alejandra and Xavier Ontiveros of Kerrville, TX; sister, Stephanie with life partner Megan and adopted children Jakoby, Zachariah and Nicholas Beecher of San Angelo, TX; sister, Mary with spouse Pedro and children Maribel C., Daisy, Pedro Jr. and Johnathan Molina of Ingram, TX; brother, Jesse with spouse Lydia and children Jazmyne, God-Daughter, Jazlyne, Brooke, Jesse Jr. Perez of Kerrville, TX. Tony has numerous aunts, uncles and cousins he grew up with during his time in Uvalde, Ogelsby and Kerrville, TX.

Not only was Tony loved by his own family, he has a supportive and loving bond from his in-laws. Survivors also include uncle, Louis R. and fur-babies of San Antonio, TX; sister-in-law, Marie with spouse Larry Hernandez and fur-babies of Corpus Christi, TX; sister-in-law, Melissa with spouse Raymond and children Liliana, Matthew Uribe of San Antonio, TX; sister-in-law, Michelle M. with partner Cristian P. and son Cristian Jr. and dog-son Dennis of San Antonio, TX.

Tony is a loving, strong, compassionate, thoughtful, wonderful man and with these strengths began his 3-year career at Kerrville State Hospital as a Psychiatric Nursing Assistant III (PNA). Tony worked in a field that allowed him to mentor patients and colleagues on a daily basis. Tony's love for growth in his career led him to become a Case Manager where he was able to continue supporting patients on their road to recovery.

Tony is now traveling the Texas coastline exploring new beaches and shores, shaking his Bidi-Bidi Bom Bom on the shoreline watching the setting sun waiting for that big fish in the sky.

Leslie, Ava and fur-babies wish to extend their greatest appreciation to all who have reached out with prayers, condolences, and support during this extremely difficult time.

Visitation will be held from 10 AM-4 PM for family visitation, 4-6 PM visitation open to the public, followed by the Rosary at 6 PM, on Thursday, September 28, 2023, at Grimes Funeral Chapels.

We don’t chose our families
We don’t chose the cards we are delt with
Life isn’t fair to any of us
We have all suffered
We don’t deserve any of it
You were worth so much more as child
We struggle mentally, emotionally and physically
Most of all we struggled to fill a void
Big brother I didn’t get to see you
I didn’t get to maintain a stable relationship with you
It doesn’t take away the fact that I still love you
You are my big brother
My brother who I lost multiple times
in my life over and over again
This time I won’t see you again
Till it’s my time
May you rest in the lords hands

We would like to thank you all for all the prayers and condolences we all have been receiving. Leslie and Ava we love you. We will continue to pray for all families, extended family, friends and especially his co- workers who have been impacted significantly as well. We will get thru this with God.My brother Tony was a wonderful husband, father, brother, brother in law, uncle, co-worker, friend and most of all a mentor. He touched so many lives while he was here on earth.I can honestly say he saved many lives as well. He was always willing to help and encourage others. He was the kindest, and a loving person. He was that light that everyone needed in their life to get thru tough times.He would literally give you his shirt off his back if you needed it. He was my rock, my fortress. If I was having a tough time he always listened to what I had to say never judging me. He would say to me “you talk a lot” kidding around. Even though he was kidding around
I realized that I needed to listen more to what others had to say as well. He told me to forgive others as well even though it’s hard to do at times. I knew he wanted nothing but the best for us all. He wanted us to be happy.I love you so much and I am going to miss you so so much, we all are. I’ll see you again you will never be forgotten.You left your imprints on this earth.
