Anthony Howard "Tony" Tierney rejoined Alice, his life partner of 44 years on June 7, 2022 while in the company and comfort of his only child Curry. He passed away with the knowledge that he was well-loved and that his memory will live on not only in his daughter Curry and his grandchildren Mira and Xander, but in all his friends, family, and organizations that were a big part of his life.
Tony was born in 1949 in Manchester, IA, to Patrick and Jean Tierney, the second of six children. After growing up in Memphis, TN, he married Alice Garner in 1974 in Rome, GA, and shared his life with her for 44 years before her untimely death in 2018. After his daughter Curry was born, he and Alice moved to Littleton, CO, where he resided for the remainder of his life. A career-long member of the trucking equipment industry, Tony was known not only for his strong relationships, but for his service to the industry through his volunteer work with professional organizations.
Outside of work, Tony loved to volunteer his time to numerous organizations and loved to spend time with friends and family. He remained a lifelong lover of golf, a passion that endured until the very end of his dynamic life. Tony was always proud of his Irish heritage, and he enjoyed watching the Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team as well as spending St. Patrick's Day with Curry while watching Mira play soccer.
Nothing gave Tony more pleasure than spending time with his wife, daughter, grandchildren, and his network of friends and colleagues. Tony will be remembered as a warm husband, father, grandfather, and friend who remembered even the smallest details of those in his life and took pleasure in their happiness. He boundlessly shared his time, talents, and energy to all those he cared about.
Tony is survived by his daughter Curry Houck and her husband Kevin of Thornton; his siblings Patricia Tierney, Susan Roberts, Ona Cooper, and Shannon Marchand - all from the Memphis, TN area, and Kevin Tierney from St. Louis, MO; his grandchildren Mira and Xander; and numerous nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by his parents Patrick and Jean Tierney and his wife Alice.
