Our much loved Anthony (Tony ) Eames age 45, of San Diego, CA. passed away unexpectedly on Monday August 26th of a brain Aneurism. Tony was born Oct. 16th, 1967 to Doug and Edna Eames in Logan Utah.
Tony grew up in Logan where he graduated from Logan High School in 1986. Tony was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints where he attained the rank of Eagle Scout in the scouting program. Artistic in many ways, and very musical, he had a wonderful singing voice. While in High School he was president of Crimson Colony and had parts and leads in many productions under the direction of Eugene Tueller. Gene was a dear friend until his passing.
Tony Attended the University of Southern Utah. While there he was presented the Presidential Scholarship in business management. He continued his education in Las Vegas, NV. He graduated in Hotel Management from U.N.L.V. While there he was awarded the Hotel Management Scholarship, which allowed him training in Niigata, Japan. His career began in Las Vegas where he was employed by the MGM Corporation. His assignments gave him the opportunity for employment at Major Hotels such as the Belagio, The Mirage, Treasure Island, The Signature at MGM and others. He spent a year on assignment to help train employees and reopen the Fontainebleau in Miami Beach, FL. His business training also took him to Indonesia. He became accustomed to providing guest services for many important people including Pres. Obama.
Tony was a fun-loving, compassionate person who had a gift for seeing the heart and soul of people. He would sense their needs and respond accordingly, whether it was a homeless person on the street or the CEO of a famous company. They all became his friends and his friends became his family. He loved his own family dearly and stayed in constant touch, no matter where in the world he was. We will so miss his daily phone calls and his funny e-mails.
He loved to joke and if you were having a bad day, Tony was the one to talk to. He could always lift your spirits and make you laugh.
