Jeannie was a wonderful person with a heart of gold. She always put others first and was so full of life. I looked forward to her becoming the most awesome and wonderful sister in law a person could ever ask for. We will all miss her deeply.

Antonio De La Rosa Jr, "Tony" 53, a beloved son, brother, husband and father passed from cancer on November 10, 2015 in Detroit, Michigan. He was born in Oklahoma City and lived in Texas, Oklahoma, Michigan, and his favorite, San Diego, California (enter lyrics to "Hotel California" that was one of his favorite songs).

Tony’s life was filled with passion for living and being free-- he lived a hard life, but his positive spirit and humor radiated through these times and his smile still lit up a room ever since he was a little boy. He had a passion for taking care of people, and was even a lifeguard at the age of 6 where he attended the Hall of Divine Child Military Academy until he was 12. Constantly on-the-move, Tony lived his life to the fullest through exploring the country, his talent as a musician, and his desire to help everyone around him. He was in several bands throughout his life and music and fishing were his passions.

Tony's creative talent and natural tendencies to help others when he could turned him to God and he helped his neighborhood with community projects -- from building homes for neighbors, to feeding the homeless, to keeping the grounds beautiful at his local church and "jamming" on his guitar for them. His beautiful voice lifted people's souls and took all of the bad away.

Tony's love will live on through his mother Virginia Rodriguez, his stepfather George Rodriguez, his son Antonio De La Rosa III, his wife Veronica and his two granddaughters, Belle Eden, Callie Lane, Tony's wife Denise De La Rosa, his stepchildren, Michael, Jessica, Michelle and his half brothers and sisters Alisa Rodriguez, Penny (Roel) De La Rosa Alaniz, Rene (Isabel) De La Rosa and Joe Michael De La Rosa. He is preceded in death by his father Tony de la Rosa Sr. and will be forever remembered by his extended family both of blood, friends and community.

We are truly blessed to have shared a loving and adventurous life with Tony. Please share your fondest memories below.

Thank you for all the prayers and in lieu of flowers please make donations to his favorite charity to feed the homeless - https://www.ssppdetroit.org/donate.html

Monique Anne (Nikki) Buckley passed away at her home in Bellevue, Washington on November 4, 2015 at the age of 41 of an unexpected heart failure.

She is survived by three children (Marc Aaron: 17, Matthew Dean: 20, and Kijana Danielle, 22), her husband (Evan), her beloved dogs, and a large extended family.

She was born and raised in Utah, and moved around the Western U.S. until she eventually found what she called “home” in Washington.

She was a sculptor, a writer, and most recently a painter (with a degree in Fine Arts), but most of all, she was a mother.

Her life’s work was her children, and she was fiercely proud of all three.

Cody was beloved by all that knew him, was an inspirational man to all he knew and carried a huge caring heart. When life handed him lemons, he was quick to make lemonade. The love and care that he brought to this earth will be missed tremendously and we will hold his memory sacred.
