The family of Anthony Percy Ellis, 80, has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to accompany their Hero to his final resting place, we will be honored to do so.
Anthony Ellis enlisted in the US Air Force in July, 1963 and served in Vietnam as a helicopter mechanic, he was later transferred to George Air Force Base in Victorville and was honorably discharged in July, 1966.
During his time in Victorville he met wife Diane Arecenaux and settled in Fontana, CA. He was a hard-working man in the construction business, building not just structures but great friends in this industry and throughout. He enjoyed dancing, barbequeuing, fishing and watching sports especially the Cowboys.
He is survived by his children Denise Gianni (Ellis), Tony “Pete” Ellis, grandchildren, Danielle Gianni Tang, Brock Ellis, and Alexa Ellis and his sisters, brothers, a host of nieces and nephews in Texas and California. He leaves behind many friends who he called his good buddies and many he called family.
