Obituary for Tony Crapanzano
Tony Crapanzano, 70, of Canyon, passed away on Wednesday, August 23, 2023. He was born on July 3, 1953 in Dallas to Sam Anthony and May Pearl (Kinson) Crapanzano.
He graduated from Sterling Massage Academy in Dallas and was a retired registered massage therapist and instructor. He moved to Canyon in 2014 and married Sherry Lynn Jones on September 25, 2020 in Canyon.
Tony was kind to everyone he met, and he never met a stranger. He loved his family, and it gave him great joy to spend time with them, especially his children and grandchildren. Tony was a spiritual man who took comfort in the Word of God. He was also a philosopher and reflective thinker. He was a loving husband, best friend, and confidant to Sherry.
He loved playing his guitar and fishing was his favorite pastime. He also loved to fix things thought broken. Tony took pride in his ability to get things working again and loved restoring things to their original state. He enjoyed woodworking and building things and was an avid photographer. Tony had an infectious laugh and an incredible sense of humor.
