Anthony Wayne Morefield, born on October 29, 2006, in Fort Wayne, passed away on July 12, 2023. Fondly known as Tony, he spent his formative years in and around his birthplace. Known for his funny demeanor and witty charm, Tony was a beacon of vibrant energy.
A student by profession, he had a keen interest in a variety of activities. Tony loved working out at the gym, indulging in his favorite TV shows, playing video games, and had a special affection for reading.

He was very competitive and always knew how to have a good time!
