Sirikone Tony Choummanivong

December 6, 1982 ~ June 19, 2020
Born in:
Nong Khai, Thailand
Resided in:
Grayson, GA
Sirikone Tony Choummanivong was born on December 6, 1982 in Nong Khai, Thailand, to Dalone and Bouavone. He received his degree from The Art Institute of Atlanta in 2005 and went on to pursue a successful career in Web Analytics for the next 15 years.
Tony, as he was fondly called by his family and friends, was a benevolent and selfless soul who did all he could to make sure those closest to him were happy at all times. He constantly fought for what was right and tried to impact the lives of those around him, positively and in his own unique ways.
Tony had many passions. From a young age, he developed his love for music, tech, food, and sneakers. He shared his passions with everyone he met throughout his travels. If you ever needed a restaurant recommendation or a hot tip on how to get those exclusive sneakers, he was your guy.
He spent the last few years of his life doing what he loved most; traveling, playing his favorite music, eating the best foods and collecting an extensive inventory of sneakers. He was, indeed, living his best life, all while sharing it with the people he loved the most.
Tony is survived by his parents Dalone and Bouavone, his sisters, Amie, Sandi, Audrey, Dari, his brothers, Andy and Cody, his nieces, Melody and Penny, his nephews Emrys and Jaedyn, and several aunts, uncles and cousins.

You were an inspiration to a lot of people. I admired your work. I’m going to miss you playing. Your such a beautiful person I guess god has better plans for you. We will miss you ,your smile your every being. God speed Tony this is your time to shine watch over the family. We love you and will greatly miss you????????????????????????????
Don’t forget how he did the flyer for our first club party!
Grace and strength to all your wonderful family. Peace is now yours. ❤️
The impact and forever lasting memories you have provided us all has been shared the last few days giving us all some form of comfort during this difficult time. That’s something you always did best was comforting us and making us all part of your family. You were the most unselfish person I knew and you showed this through the love you had for each and every one of us. From the days of clubbing, funneling beer at the Grayson house, and just doing anything in life you always made the best of whatever we were doing as long as we were all together. It’s painful knowing I won’t be able to see you on your random visits to LA but you’ve left me with so many memories I always have a smile on my face when I think about you or hear your name. I will love you forever brother and I look forward to the day we get to see each other again.
❤️ Rest in Peace, my dear friend. Until we meet again, ????.
You will forever be an inspiration… I’ve never met someone one so humble and you’ve influenced me to look inside myself to do the same. You are a role model to many and deserved to be here more than I even do. It is clear that you’ve touched many lives and I’m happy that I was able to know you. When I see different corners of the world I’ll remember you and you’ll be in my prayers for years to come. You’ll live on through many…
Bless.
Tony- My mind is racing and my heart is heavy today. I just can’t wrap my head around it. I am not yet at peace with you no longer being physically with us, but I know you will remain forever in my heart. You are one of a kind, loved by many. A genuine and sincere soul that has a heart of gold. You always told me you were proud of me and made me feel worthy of myself. You were so uplifting and encouraging when we spoke about life. I am forever thankful to have created a friendship and lasting memories with you. You lived life to the fullest. When I reflect back on our memories, all I can do is laugh. We’ve had some good times Wago. ❤️ Rest in Peace, my dear friend. Until we meet again, ????
You will be missed. As i look at all the old family photos and reminisce on the memories we had, we are family. Last time i saw you was at my mom’s funeral and it felt like it was back in the days. You will always be my little brother. I will cherish those photos.
Rest in peace little bro.
You will continue to inspire me and encourage me. You have had humility, passion and care in everything you have done. There has always been something about you that has made me smile and I will continue to smile when I think of you despite missing you so much. This is so heartbreaking to see you go. I pray God’s love and peace will surround your entire family and all that have had the privilege of knowing you.

I am still in disbelief that you are no longer physically here with us. You were always smiling, exuded positive energy and had the kindest soul. I always admired how humble you were and encouraging to others. You were a light to so many people, including me. You are missed immensely.
Rest In Peace, brother.
We wish we could be there with you family. We love you all so very much.
I know what will bring me strength is seeing you in the little things in life; like the good food you like to eat, the places I travel to, the friends and memories we now share and hold forever.
I don’t think I’ll ever stop missing you..
I love you..
until we meet again
We haven’t known Tony as long as his other friends. But if Gil,Cam and Yuta vouched for him, he was as good as family to me too. He impacted us right away with his kindness. The first time spending time with him, he didn’t thing for one moment, but was able to capture moments of my proposal. Thank you Tony for that. We wish we spent more time with. You will be sorely missed, but never forgotten. Your memory and essence will live on in all you have touched.
Rest in Greatness ????????
Still remember the first day we met. Ever since then, I have always known you to be the awesome person that was down for anything. Such an easy going, happy soul you were. I always looked forward to hanging out whenever we had the chance to. This all ended too soon.
Thank you for being you. Rest in peace my man!
Tony,
I’m sorry that this happened to you. Thank you for leaving your infectious personality for us to remember. The positivity that you spread, and your smile/laugh will always be with us. I’m fortunate to have met you, and spent years getting to enjoy moments I won’t forget.
Love always. Fly high. <3
Thank you for being so kind and welcoming. We were able to share so many great memories in such a short amount of time and I’m truly grateful that we had met. There’s not a single bad thing I can say about you, as you would go out of your way for others, and I’ve always admired how you would always stood up for the right thing. You had a heart of gold and that comes rare. You have made such an impact in so many lives. Tony, you will be missed dearly. Rest in peace, friend.
We’ll cherish all of the memories we had together. You were truly a genuine, kind-hearted individual – one of a kind. You will be missed but your spirit lives on through all of us. Rest in peace brother. Love Richard and Mindy
Tony, You are one of the kindest friend I’ve ever known. I always enjoyed our time together. I hope there’s good music and mosh pits wherever you are. Much love, Kenney and family.
Tony this still feels unreal to me. It’s been years since I’ve seen you but it still feels like yesterday. I still remember how we first met, and how you tried to warn me about chasing this one girl who was trouble, lol. I still remember how you made the flyer for the first club party we threw, A-Town Productions’ website, the times our car crew and yours chilled at Stone Mountain bbqs and car shows. It’s been a blast reminiscing all those fun times the last few days with mutual friends I haven’t talked to in a good while. Always thought you were one hella cool guy my dude. Just like many others, I’m gonna miss you bro.
Our condolences to Tony’s family and friends.
RIP our friend – Tony.
Tony,
Words can’t express how deeply saddened I am, and how heavy my heart has been since I heard about this tragic news. You are such a kind, gentle soul, and you will forever leave that impression. The laughs, the smiles, it will always be something to remember.
Love always. Fly high.
I know I’ll find the strength and comfort in seeing you in the little things; like all the good foods you love to eat, traveling to places you love, all the memories we were lucky enough to share and the frenmily we now have.
I don’t think I’ll ever stop missing you..
Thank you for being a part of my life, I love you..
Until we meet again????
Ai Tony,
I have so many memories growing up with you. We had the best childhood. You will be missed and I’m forever grateful for the time that was spent with you.
Much love,

His Journey’s Just Begun by Ellen Brenneman
Don’t think of him as gone away
his journey’s just begun,
life holds so many facets
this earth is only one.
Just think of him as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years.
Think how he must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.
And think of him as living
in the hearts of those he touched…
for nothing loved is ever lost
and he was loved so much.
– Thiago & Jaclyn Ding
There are very few people in this world who truly put others before themselves and you were definitely one of them. You will be missed dearly by all.

I was shocked it was you bro, but god has a plan for all of us. I remember you welcoming me into your place along time ago and there was plenty of food, alcohol and gambling. The good ol days. Say hi to Pep-C for me and I’ll see you later.
Until next time,
Andrew
The same way Chine here on earth. Until the day we all meet again may you have peace as you rest in paradise my friend.
We love you bro.
I am very sadden that you are no longer with us. Our families grew up together and we have so many childhood memories. We will miss you dearly, your laugh, your smile, just your self-less person you were. You were there for us when dad and mom passed, and it hurt me that I couldn’t physically be there for you. I love you brother. May you rest in paradise.
May your spirit live on and until the day we meet again good buddy, Rest In Paradise!!!
Tony siempre será recordado con amor, alegría y respeto.
El desde el cielo reconfortará vuestro dolor y les dará fortaleza.
May he Rest In Peace.
Bro, I was sadden to hear this. Growing up during our high school days was a great adventure while it lasted and I will still remember giving you the name “toe knee”. You will be in my heart, be missed by so many but never forgotten. Rest in peace and look over us. Take care and we’ll meet again.
Tony
It was my privilege to work with you. Thank you for being part of my team. I will miss your kindness and your enthusiasm, and your love if travel. Godspeed, then, until that day.
My teacher, my inspiration, my friend, my brother. Your biggest goal in life was to bring everyone together. During these dark times, everyone felt defeated and many lost their sanity. Leave it you to do the impossible and bring people back together during a pandemic. You always find a way. The memories will never fade. I love you forever and will never forget you.
Jerry Siphavong
We miss you so much. There are so many good things to say about you and you’ve touched so many lives. Until we meet again brother, I’ll always keep you in my thoughts…
Rest in paradise brother.
