Loving husband to Marilyn Ornelas Ventura, father to Ethan and Dylan Ventura, son to Olivia Ventura, (Gil Ventura-predeceased) and brother to Carlos Ventura Uncle to Nelson and Sabrina Ventura. Tony will be immensely missed by his many family members (nephews, nieces) and friends.
When meeting Tony his kind eyes would welcome you, he would smile at you with his boyish grin, and you would be invited in with the mouth-watering smells of his extraordinary cooking. Tony was a trained chef, and he was passionate about cooking meals for his family and friends paying special attention to all the details to demonstrate his love. Tony was a music lover and shared favorite genres with family and friends.
Tony always put full efforts into everything he did, preparing meals for his children, creating special memories, and recovering from his health battles to get back home to his family.
His battle with serious medical issues in recent years showed his courage in facing life challenges with a smile. Despite the pain, Tony came out a hero and stayed strong until the end.
Tony will forever be missed in all our hearts.
