Tony Doty
Mar 16th, 1960 - May 4th, 2023Tony Randall Doty, age 63, of Flora, Illinois passed away early Thursday morning, May 4, 2023, at Deaconess Hospital in Newburgh Indiana.
He was born March 16, 1960, in Olney, the son of Darryl Randall and Elizabeth Ann (Ring) Doty. He was united in marriage to Dana Jo Jones on September 23, 2010, in Louisville, and together they have shared 12 wedding anniversaries.
Tony was a 1978 graduate of Flora High School. He had been employed at Minwax in Flora since 1979, working most recently as a Maintenance Supervisor. He enjoyed spending time at his cabin and motorcycle riding. Tony’s biggest joy in life was spending time with his family as a loving father, husband, and son. He had been a dedicated member of the Flora Volunteer Fire Department for over 36 years. During his time on the department he served as Captain, Assistant Chief, fought countless fires, and perhaps his most proud moment was pulling two people from a burning home.
