Tony Lomax
SAVANNAH - Anthony Wayne "Tony" Lomax, Sr., 51, died Friday, October 16, 2009, at St. Joseph's Hospital.
Born in Memphis, TN on June 7, 1958, Tony had lived in Savannah for the past twenty-two years.
Tony was a disabled veteran having served in the United States Army. He retired after thirty-two years of civil service working for the Department of the Army supporting the 1/75 Ranger Battalion at Hunter AAF.
Tony had a very contagious personality, and was always able to put a smile on someone's face no matter what the circumstances. One of his fondest memories of his grandchildren was watching them use his oxygen hose for a teething ring while rocking them in his favorite chair. Tony was a six and a half year double lung transplant survivor.
Surviving are his loving wife of thirty years, Fran Lomax; his son, Anthony Wayne Boo Lomax, Jr.; his daughters, Megan Nicole Lomax and Rachel Renee Lomax; grandchildren, Ashton Caleb Lomax, Madison Taylor Lomax, and Isabella Paige Lomax; his mother, Margaret Nichols Lomax; sisters, Lela Lomax and Jacqueline Lomax Bain; brother, Reginald Lomax; niece, Kristen Bain; and nephews, Reginald Lomax II, Callaway Bain II, Demetrius Lomax, and Jason Lomax.
He was preceded in death by his father, Lynn Winston Lomax, Jr. and a sister, Debra Lomax.
A Funeral Service will be held at 6:00 pm on Wednesday, October 21, 2009, at Fox & Weeks Funeral Directors, Hodgson Chapel.
The family will receive friends prior to the service, from 4:00 pm until 6:00 pm.
Remembrances may be made to the Mayo Clinic, 4500 San Pablo Road, Jacksonville, FL 32224 or to The Disabled American Veterans, P.O. Box 14301, Cincinnati, OH 45250-0301.
