My thoughts and prayers go out to the family, the friends, and the countless number of people that were lucky enough to have known Tony. And although our paths in life took different directions as we grew older, I was with him as we both grew from teenage to adult. All of us... Mark, Jimmy, Steve, Raymond, myself, and Tony, were inseparable at one time. My mind replays all the wonderful times that we all had back then and I now realize how fortunate and blessed we were, to be able to share that experience with wonderful, loyal friends. It seems like it was just yesterday. Tony was unique in so many ways and touched so many people, both personally and through the radio, that it can't be measured. I am sad that Tony is no longer part of this world, but I am proud to have known him and honored to call him my friend. Rest In Peace, Twine.

Tony was beyond a friend to me. Tony was more like a brother. I have so many fond memories of our childhood adventures and fellowship as close friends that will be a part of me for the duration of my life and can never be described in words. My heart felt sympathy pours out to the Childress family that I love as if my own.
Your Loving Friend Steve

Tony was a remarkable gift to this earthly world with his generosity, humility, and love for all mankind often those who needed it most. His intellect and conscientious awareness of critical social issues made a conversation with him enlightening, educational and thought provoking.
Tony Childress represented and contributed to the remarkable Childress family legacy with genuine grace and long lasting resonance. His imprint will not be forgotten.
With sincere condolences to the Childress family...Terra

Tony was a kind, gentle, and beautiful person - as were his parents. Greatly saddened that he left us so soon. He will be missed. Condolences to those he left behind. When we were neighbors, he always took to the time to stop and comment on my flowers and never drove past without a smile or a wave. RIP, Tony.

It saddens me to know that my life long friend is no longer here. Many memories are resonated in my mind from Kindergarten to now. He was like a brother I never had. I only wish I could turn back time.
My friend, “Richard Petty”, “Twine”, you will be missed.
I wish I could be there to tell you that the fish are biting and daylight is burning. I’ll miss you bud but I’ll see you again someday.
