Anthony "Tony" Rios

Our hearts are heavy as we grieve over the loss of a loved one. Anthony J. Rios went home to be with the lord on July 14, 2016. We will always remember Tony for his loving, caring, big heart, contagious laugh, strong willed personality and hard working person he was. Tony was a soldier for God, he lived his days to the fullest and never gave up on life but although it's very hard to understand, God needed him and it was time. We will hold onto the memories we have with him and treasure the time we had for eternity. Our dear Tony loved his family and friends more than life itself and would give anyone the shirt off his back and did so because that's just the person he was. We pray to the Lord for comfort and strength during this hard time. Tony leaves behind his beloved wife and best friend Lori, mother Ramona Rios, Daughters Tanesha and Tessa, his first grand baby boy Lucas and, brothers Jesse Macias and Martin Macias, along with many other loving family members. A viewing will be held for Tony at Basham Funeral Care (3312 Niles St) on July 26th from 4-5pm (family), 5-8pm (public); followed by a service on July 27th at 10:00 am. and a National service at 1:15pm, at Bakersfield National Cemetery, 30338 East Bear Mountain Blvd. Arvin, CA 93203.
