Tony proudly served in the United States Army after high school at East Tip in Lafayette, and later found his soulmate in Amy (Robinson) Pearson. Together, they shared a life filled with love and adventure for 53 wonderful years.

A dedicated member of the Ford Street United Methodist Church in Lapel, Tony's faith was a cornerstone of his life. He enjoyed spending his free time outdoors, particularly hunting, fishing, mushroom hunting, and gardening. He was also actively involved in his community, serving in many different capacities on the Lapel Town Council, and as a member of the Lapel Lions Club, Lapel Eagles, and the Lapel American Legion where he made many dear friends. Tony loved coin collecting and enjoyed his time in his younger years being a Volunteer Fireman in Michigan. Above all, he loved his family very much, especially his grandchildren.

Tony was a remarkable man who touched the lives of those around him. He is survived by his wife, Amy; Two children, Vanessa (spouse, Dennis) Campbell and Heath (spouse, Katy) Pearson; Three siblings, Francis "Butch" Pearson, Michael "Mike" Pearson, and Thomas "Tom" Pearson; Four grandchildren, Anna (spouse, Quentin) Norrick, Ella Pearson, Myles Campbell, and Will Campbell; One great-grandchild, Charlotte Norrick.
