Anthony (Tony) Jennings Hone Obituary (1996 - 2020)

Tony was born on January 8th 1996 to Stacey J Winters and Jeffrey R Hone in Payson Utah. Tony enjoyed anything outdoors, from fishing to riding dirt bikes and four-wheelers and camping. Anything he could do outside along with his family and friends he was all for. He loved campfires and truck pulls with his dad. He didn't like to be still and always had to be on the go doing something. Tony was also a very caring person and was there for anyone who needed him when he was able to be of help. He enjoyed nothing more than making people laugh and getting a reaction out of someone for something he did. He really enjoyed being the life of the party. He would do whatever he could for anyone even at a fault to himself. Tony also struggled with mental health issues and each day was a battle for him. Some days were very good for him and unfortunately some days were very bad. Unfortunately he found that drugs and alcohol would make him feel better on those bad days and ease the pain and that developed into an addiction. The bad days got more and more frequent and he used stronger drugs to deal with the pain and to avoid dealing with those issues. As addiction does it robbed him of his focus and his goals. He got lost in the addiction and it definitely consumed him. He struggled for several years but would have times of clarity and that drive and focus would return and he would try to fix all the problems in his life. As we all know we cannot fix all life's problems as quickly as we would like and that would knock all the steam out of him and he would revert to his addiction. On the night of April 7th Tony lost his battle with addiction to drugs and has returned to his heavenly father. Tony will be greeted at heaven's gate by many family and friends who proceeded him in death. We want to thank everyone who donated and helped us be able to provide funeral services for Tony during this crazy times in the world. The overwhelming generosity we have been shown from family and friends is beyond anything we could have imagined. Instead of sending flowers if you choose to do so, we are asking that you donate to a fund that we are working on creating to provide substance abuse and mental health services for those that are in the depths of addiction. Please direct all donations to @Jena-Chavez Venmo account (Tony's older brother's wife) We are all heartbroken about the passing of Tony and again thank you all for your support and love during this difficult time. We will be planning a celebration of life for him in the near future once things return to normal due to the Covid19 Virus. We cannot have many people at the funeral home for his service at this time and would appreciate your respect in honoring that.
