Dear Rita, ms JoAnn, Debbie, Cindy, Kacie, Shelby.. words cannot express the heartbreak that I feel for you and the family. I understand how hard it was to see your husband, son, brother, and father suffer but even more how hard to release him to be with the Lord. He is now at the feet of JESUS WORSHIPPING with Billy Graham and JUST beginning to see and realize all the things that his HEAVENLY FATHER has prepared for him!! Hopefully the thought and the images of this scene will make your grieving process a little easier in the days ahead . My prayers continue for all and I send you all my love,Sincerely, Kim Billberry

My condolences to the family. I didn't know Mr. Holtzclaw, but I can tell from reading his obituary that he was a very special man. It's sad to read about someone dying at such a young age. Perhaps you may find comfort in the following scriptures: Isaiah 25:8 - Jehovah God will swallow up death forever; Revelation 21:4 - Death will be no more; John 5:28, 29 - He will resurrect our dead loved ones from the grave; Isaiah 33:24 - No one will say they are sick.

I remember a very nice and polite guy in my youth Sunday school class. Tony was always attentive and caring. Then 25 yrs later he would be the first on the scene when my daughter Heather had a very serious car wreck breaking her ankle and several other injuries. She was so scared and blu and I were nowhere to be found . Tony stayed with her keeping her calm and making her feel safe. ( He was deputy then) . He followed the ambulance to hospital and stayed with her until we got to the hospital; very caring and loving person. Then 10/12 years later he and Rita are fishing on the lake, yelling across the water at blu and Rod( my brother) discussing who was going to catch the biggest and most fish! I know it will take many years for Tony to enjoy and explore the many treasures the Lord has prepared for him. " Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him." 1cor 2:9In loving memory, Kim and blu Billberry

May Tony rest and not hurt any more; he was such a great friend to many and role model also.

I got the honor of knowing Tony for three years as my Leiutenant at the Sheriff’s Office and while he was taken from us all far too soon it did not take long for me to see and experience how amazing of a man he was. He was a great leader and a compassionate person. My condolences to his family. Remember the best of times, I know they are plentiful!
