Tony Tedpaogo
January 28, 1964 - December 20, 2025
Tony was born on January 28th, 1964 to Jose C. and Isabel N. Tedpaogo. He was the 4th child out of 6 siblings. He attended Freese Elementary, Bell Jr. High, Morse High and graduated from Madison High School. He loved working on cars, playing with his dogs, family gatherings and was very religious. He earned an Associate's degree in Criminal Justice and worked in Food Service, Security and as a Locksmith.
Tony was fun to be around with, he always brought laughter in our lives. He told stories that sometimes you felt like hiding your head but that was him. He had a way of clearing a room in silence that made you wonder who did it. Afterwards, we would say to one another "Did you do that?" and Tony would sit there in silence giggling. We're going to miss the laughter and the joy that he brought us.
My brother Tony was very blessed to have his girlfriend Sharlie who gave him Joy, Love, Support, Laughter, Peace and Happiness. We are very grateful that Tony had Sharlie who was at his side as he left to be with God.
He now joins his parents (Jose C. and Isabel N. Tedpaogo), brothers (Joseph N. and Jody A. Tedpaogo ) and sister (Merilyn J. Tedpaogo- Cortes). He also joins his Paternal and Maternal Grandparents (Eugenio and Felicitas Tedpahogo) and (Juan A. and Maria N. Naputi) He also is joined by numerous Uncles, Aunts and Cousins.
Tony is survived by his girlfriend (Sharlie Cuifi) his brothers (Johnny E and Ken E Tedpaogo). Sister in law (Sandra Tedpaogo). He is additionally survived by Nephews (Johnny and Chris), (Louie and Michael), (Rudy and Robert) and Nieces (Sabrina and Sierra). He will miss his Grand Nieces (Zoe, Lilly Victoria, Kassandra) and Grand Nephews (Andrew and Slavic). Tony is also survived by his Uncles and Aunts (Juan and Georgia Naputi) (Jose and Delores Naputi) (Joaquin and Julie Naputi) (Felicitas Naputi) and (Maria Naputi.) He will miss all his Cousins, Nieces and Nephews.
I would like to personally thank Sharlie Cuifi for giving my brother Tony her love and friendship. We take comfort that you were in his life, his last words to me were that he loved you and the only thing he would miss is not seeing you.
