Anthony O'Neal Croxton (Tony) was born January 08, 1961, son of Adell Croxton and the late James Croxton. He was born in Haynesville, Virginia. As a young child Anthony was Baptized and joined Mulberry Baptist Church. He enjoyed attending our family Church here in Florida " The Chapel" on Sundays.

He enjoyed his time with everyone he ever worked.

He could keep talking for hours about anything and everything. He enjoyed Fancy Dressing and Fine Dining. When he stepped out, he was clean as a whistle. He always was ready to pack a bag when Michelle said, "Time to Travel, Were Booked". He loved the outdoors and adventures he had with all his children, grandchildren, friends, and family.
