Hello everyone

We are asking for everyone to please pray for our dear friend Tony Park and his dad, both are currently in the hospital. Anyone who knows Tony knows that he has a big heart and is an amazing individual, a great fisherman and one of the greatest crawfish boil cooks you will EVER meet! Tony’s dad appears to be slowly recovering and without sharing to much personal information we can only report that sadly we just found out that Tony is in the ICU and is not doing so well. Over the course of the last week his condition took a downward spiral, these next few days are crucial and we continue to stay optimistic and pray that Tony will come out of this stronger than ever and that SOON he will be back on the water fishing with us and behind the grill cooking for us!

Please keep Tony and his dad in your prayers, please send good vibes and please stay healthy

It comes with a very heavy heart that we must inform everyone that both Tony and his dad have passed. Tony was a wonderful friend to many, one hell of a fisherman and like a brother to me. To say that they will be missed is an understatement.

May their souls rest in peace and may God grant his mother the strength to endure this great pain

Oh man, sad news. Tony was an awesome guy. Always willing to talk, always willing to share tips & tricks, full of enthusiasm. A great fisherman, but more importantly a guy that truly brightened everyones day after a day of fishing while hanging out at the launch.

The world, and this kayak fish community lost one of the best. Prayers for the family on this loss. RIP Tony.

Doesn’t seem real. I keep looking at our old texts. I’m heartbroken. He was a good friend with a big generous heart. You knew when you fished with Tony you were going to have a good time and good food afterwards. Great fisherman and innovator. Great dog owner who cared for Coco and made her a little celebrity. Hard working man who took care of his family. I will miss his big laugh and spirit. I will continue to pray for Tony and family. Rest In Peace my friend!

Haven't logged in for a while, but just saw this news. Really sad to hear about Tony.

Was able to fish with him many times over the years, down here at the Jewel.
Great guy, very knowledgable and a hell of a fisherman.

He was always kind to donate his time to cleaning fish at the Lebowitz memorial tournament.

Godspeed!
