Family:
Tony and his wife, Stacey, have been married for 32 years and are thankful and blessed to have three grown children: Isaac 30, Adele 28, who is married to Shane Brown with granddaughter Amelia Grace, 6, and their youngest daughter, Audrey 24 who married Benjamin Skinner and became Audrey Skinner. They have a one-year-old named Judah James and she is pregnant with their second child.
I should tell you a little more about Stacey, too. She is an incredible wife and mom, and now, grandma. Stacey also has an incredible heart of compassion for hurting people and regularly intercedes in prayer for her family and for people who are in pain. Her heartbeat comes from Isaiah 61:1-3, to paraphrase: “to proclaim good news to the poor, bind up the brokenhearted, proclaim freedom for the captives, release from darkness for the prisoners, comfort all who mourn, and have a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.” Stacey earned her Master of Arts in English from Fort Hays State Univeristy and was a full-time English professor for seven years.
