Celebrating the life of

Antonio "Tony" "Apple Jack" Washington

April 03, 1972 - October 26, 2021

Antonio

Antonio “Tony” “Apple Jack” Washington was born on April 3, 1972, in Trenton, NJ not only in the home of his Aunt Betty Jean Thompson, but also by her hands. He was born to Brenda Bell and Wille Roscoe Chambers. At a very early age, Tony was welcomed as a member of First African Baptist Church of Savannah, Ga. Tony was a proud alumnus of Alfred Ely Beach High School, class of 1991, where his personality and big heart gained him many lifelong friendships and memories.

Tony had his very first daughter, Ashanay “Risha” Washington, at 19 years young with Tiffany Thomas. A few years later, at 23, he welcomed his second bundle of joy, Malaysia “Lazy” Washington, also with Tiffany. Later, Tony began a relationship with Moneishia Jones, who had two daughters, Roneishia “Tunna” Jones and Alexus “Lex” Jones, that he immediately formed a Daddy/daughter bond with. The two later married and she birthed his only son and namesake, Antonio “Spanky” Washington Jr. Lastly, the final sparkle of his eye was born in 2003. The couple named her Alyssa “Tootie” Washington. Years later, he remarried to Angela Williams, who had a son Brejion Coleman, and a daughter Christina “Goosey” Coleman, who he also loved and cared for as his children.

Tony was preceded in death by his baby sister Laquinta Washington, his father Willie Roscoe Chambers and his maternal grandmother Maggie B. Washington. Tony was a devoted son, nurturing dad, amazing big brother, loving nephew and cousin, and the best friend anyone could ever have. Everyone that he encountered, knew him for the energy he brought to any room he entered. He enjoyed dancing, singing, skating, family, and friend gatherings and anywhere he could set his beautiful spirit free. Over the years, Tony has held a host of positions at various locations to include, Wienerschnitzel, National Linen, Great Dane, Imperial Sugar, NFI, and Shaw Industries.

Tony was called to eternal rest on October 26, 2021, at 2:45 a.m. He is missed immensely and leaves to mourn his mother, Brenda Bell; his brother, Charles Washington; his children, Ashanay Washington, Malaysia Washington, Antonio Washington Jr, Alyssa Washington, Roneisha Jones, and Alexus Jones; a multitude of Aunts, Uncles, and cousins; and an immeasurable number of friends and associates.

The family will receive friends from 6:00 until 8:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 4, at First African Baptist Church, 23 Montgomery Street, Savannah, GA 31401. 

A private graveside service will be held.
