Anthony Glen Curry (Tony)
Anthony Glen Curry (Tony), age 68, of Lincoln, Arkansas, passed away at Willard Walker Hospice House in Fayetteville, Arkansas, on September 27, 2022.
Tony was born August 14, 1954, in Fort Worth, Texas, the son of David Glen Curry and Glenda Sue McMillen. He was the first of four children.
Tony moved to Salem Springs, Arkansas, in 1968, at the age of 14 where he met his wife Jachita Curry and was together 4 years before they moved to Forth Worth, Texas. They married at First Baptist Church of Kennedale, Texas. on June 12, 1972. He and Jachita had two daughters, Sheila in 1974 and Mandi in 1975. They wanted to raise their girls in Arkansas so in 1981 they came home.
Tony and Jachita opened Burger Land on May 3, 1983. They watched many teenagers that worked for them grow and become wonderful moms and have success in their lives. We have received many notes that talked about what a good role model Tony was. He showed them what is was to love his wife and his daughters as well as his friends. He ran the business for 25 years and sold it October of 2008.
Tony always loved the food business and in July of 2015 he opened a concession wagon named Tony's in Lincoln, AR. He sold it and we are happy to see that both Burger Land and Tony's are thriving with great owners. Tony then went to work for our good friends Bobby and Linda Umberson at Grassworks in Lincoln, Arkansas. He worked there for approximately 10 years before retiring due to his failing health. Tony's hobbies were fishing (when he had the time), playing cards and woodworking. He had a passion for working with his hands and it showed through the work he put out.
He was preceded in death by his father, David Glen Curry, and mother, Glenda Sue Curry; two brothers, Scotty Lynn Curry and Mark Allen Curry.
He is survived by his wife of 50 years, Jachita Ann Curry, two daughters, Sheila Ann Brewer and her husband Jonathan of Dutch Mills, Arkansas, and Miranda Rae Kester and her husband Jay of Lincoln, Arkansas; eight grandchildren, Justin Alan Brewer and his wife Ashtyn of Dutch Mills, Arkansas, Sydney RaeAnn Brewer of Dutch Mills, Arkansas, Adria Brooke Kester of Fayetteville, Arkansas, Kayleigh Paige Kester of Shawney, Oklahoma, Sterling Neil Morphis and Lincoln Ray Morphis, both of Lincoln, Arkansas, Tessa Danielle Kester of Tahlequah, Oklahoma; one sister, Suzie DeAnn Kyle and her husband Stew of Winslow, Arkansas, and many nieces, nephews and a host of long-time friends.
