Anthony Elliott Obituary
Anthony Elliott
Milan, TN
Anthony “Andy” Oteen Elliott, 64, passed away Friday, August 12, 2022. He was the second born of three children to the late Oteen and Sheril Elliott of Milan, Tennessee.
Andy was born May 7, 1958. He was a 1976 graduate of Milan High School where he was a member of the Milan Bulldogs football team. Andy attended college at the University of Tennessee at Martin where he studied Music and Political Science. Growing up, he worked at Strings and Things where he taught guitar lessons and played music at night. Andy was a former Retail Sales Counselor at Fleming Company’s Whole Sale Consumable Packaged Goods from 1990-2005. Since 2005, he has worked at the family business, Henson Construction Services, Inc in Jackson, Tennessee.
Andy’s passion was his love for family, friends, baseball, and playing music. As a kid, Andy played Little League and Babe Ruth baseball in Milan, and would eventually try out for the Cincinnati Reds. He truly loved the game of baseball and was an avid Atlanta Braves fan, and was known for collecting highly coveted Braves memorabilia. He was a talented musician and loved to jam with his Fender 25th Anniversary Stratocaster. He played at many venues throughout West Tennessee with fellow band mates Reece McCoy, Mike Hudson, Gaylan Biggs, Allan Light, and Max Bybee, who called themselves the “Headliner.” He also played at Maggie Lee’s with Steve Mallard and many great musicians. For the past few years, he played in the band “Good Karma”, where he sang and played guitar for fund-raisers, weddings, and reunion. Andy was loved by many and was well known all over West Tennessee. Andy had an excellent sense of humor and was never one to shy away from an opportunity to make someone’s day by telling a funny joke or story. Andy was sensitive and bright, and his fun-loving spirit and contagious laugh will remain in the hearts of his loved ones forever.
Mr. Elliott was preceded in death by parents Oteen Elliott & Sheril Elliott, sister Teresa Elliott Henson, aunt and uncles Gerald, Dean, Gary, Maxine, Carolyn, Euline, and Dennis, and niece Christy Elliott. He leaves behind his brother, Marty Elliott (Scarlet), of Milan, his beloved chihuahua and lifelong companion “Sammy”, brother-in-law Cary Henson of Jackson, aunt Beverly Elliott Carter, Uncles Larry and Aubrey Elliott, nephews Chris Crider (Terri), Dustin Hickerson, Jimmy Henson (Lauren), Tyler Jackson( Sydney), Clay Elliott, Bob Elliott, nieces Carrie Beth Austin (Ryan), Demi Elliott, great nephews Jack Crider, Denton Elliott, Mason Parkerson, Cooper and Marshall Jackson, and Rowan Austin; great nieces Mary Margaret Crider, Jordy Jackson, and Elsie and Charlie Henson.

If you knew Andy and became his friend, you were blessed beyond what words can describe. He lived a street over and we played backyard baseball, basketball & racquetball at UT Martin and rode motorcycles. Never a cross word or a dull moment when you were with Andy. I, too, have been away from Milan for many years. The memories are all there and intact of time shared with Andy. The world was a better place with Andy, he will be missed. Peace in Christ.

So sad to hear of Andy's passing! My childhood neighbor on McKellar Street, I grew up playing baseball with Andy - Farm Team, Little League, Babe Ruth, and of course backyard! - and riding motorcycles with him, Larry, Roy, and many of our friends. I've been away from Milan for decades now but have been back often to visit family and friends, and it was always a joy running into Andy. With childhood friends, no matter how long you've been apart, the conversation always seems to just pick up where it left off the last time! Paula and I are very sorry for your loss Marty and family and will be praying for God's peace and comfort for you all. Andy will be missed by all who knew him!

Andy was my best friend from the day we met. He was one of the best people you could ever know. He was an inspirer and uplifted everyone he came in contact with. He and I played guitars in several bands and our playing style complimented each other’s. He was just a fabulous person from a family of folks who are great. I have always felt blessed to be friends with him and his family. He was one-of-a-kind. I’m praying for his family and extended family. Andy may be gone from this world, but he will never be forgotten. Thanks for being my friend, Andy. We’ll hang out in the next world.

I was fortunate enough to know Andy Elliott for many years. He was one of those kind of people you were actually glad to see. I remember jamming out with he and Allan Light, having fun, making rock music. Just knowing Andy was a Blessing. Rest In Peace My Friend.
