Antonio “Tony” Oseguera
Sep 18, 2002- Nov 15, 2019
Name Antonio Michael Oseguera meaning “worthy of praise” nickname Tony meaning “priceless”. Tony was born and raised in St Louis Missouri to Tania Harwick and Marco Antonio Oseguera on September 18, 2002 and passed on November 15, 2019 at age 17. The funeral services will be held at Michel Funeral Home located at 5930 Southwest Ave, St Louis, MO 63139.
The love that Tony gave was like the meaning of his nickname “priceless”. Tony was like an Angel to many. there could be a room full of sad people and when Tony would walk in his smile just brighten the entire room. Tony was and will remain in our eyes, the definition of what a “young man” should be. The man he was growing up to be would have had a bright future. Tony was a little guy on the outside but he was big on the inside. Tony was such a sweet heart, Thoughtful, and he was caring. He was the type that didn’t care what his friends thought even when his friends pressured him to do something misleading he wouldn’t. Tony knew right from wrong. He would cheer up his brother Ruben. Tony’s smile and laugh was a blessing to Ruben’s ears. Tony, as his brother refers was one strong soldier, no matter if he was hurting or upset, he would never let others be upset. Tony was the definition of what a little brother, a older brother, a best friend and most importantly what a son should be.
Prayer service will be held by Fr. Mike from 9:00 a.m. through 10:00 a.m. on Friday November 22, 2019.
Visitation will be from 10:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m. at Michel Funeral Home located at 5930 Southwest Ave. St Louis MO 63139.
ARRANGEMENTS UNDER THE DIRECTION OF MICHEL FUNERAL HOME.
I’m heartbroken to hear that Tony is gone, I just learned the news. He was 11 or 12 years old when we first met him and for years after he was a regular fixture on our couch and in our kitchen. Tony loved to raid our refrigerator! He started his first Facebook page and email address from our computer. I’d take him and his friends to the library and organize games to keep them safe and entertained after school, give them rides home or wherever they needed to be.
Eventually we stopped seeing Tony so often, like most of the kids who had been spending a lot of time at our house, but I never stopped caring about him and wondering what he was up to. The kids didn’t have cell phones at that point so I never knew how to find him.
In our lives Tony was a source of joy, it made me happy every time he’d stop by to visit. Tony was always curious, friendly and loyal. I know he really looked up to his older brother who he spoke of often. We miss Tony and still imagine him showing up on our doorstep some day to tell us all about his adventures. My husband recently had a dream about Tony. I know he’s out there somewhere watching over his friends and family.
Our deepest condolences to Tony’s family, I can only imagine how much you miss him.
