Tony DiGirolamo Obituary

Tony Lee DiGirolamo, of Colorado Springs, went to be with his Lord and Savior on June 26, 2010. Tony was born on January 26, 1973 in Maryland. After attending High School in Weirton, WV, Tony went on to become a well respected tattoo artist and professional bicyclist. He married Erin Elliott on June 22, 2008. Tony is survived by his wife Erin; daughters Kelsey and Skyler; brother Paul; and sisters Vickie and Darlene. Tony was an avid bicyclist; it was his passion second only to his “girls�. He competed regularly at the Colorado Springs Velodrome. Last fall, Tony and his team had the opportunity to compete internationally in Australia. His team won the Silver Medal for their age group in Team Sprint. A memorial service was held yesterday on Wednesday, June 30, 2010 at Springs Community Church. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a college fund for Kelsey and Skyler that has been established with Edward Jones.

I've searched for Tony's name today online and found this site. I'm stunned. Tony was my tattooist and friend for a short time in Colorado Springs. He always made me laugh. I don't know what happened though. My heart goes out to his family. I've never forgotten him and never will.

I just need to say Tony that your daughters have been the most beautiful angels you have left us with to watch over on earth. They are both loving, caring and and insightful young ladies/women. You would be so proud of them. I am sure like me, you wish you could be there in person to hug and kiss them daily, me too. I know their families are excellent and that the girls were left blessed and now watched over by you daily. I promised you I would keep in touch and quite frankly, it is easier to do with FB since they are in two different states. Muah my bro and know that I love you dearly and miss you with all my heart! Seeing Skyler's note made me write this and just to be thankful for you being my brother.

It's been over three years now and it feels like it has been a lifetime. I miss you bro. You were more than a boss and more then a friend. You were my hero and a mentor that I will never forget. I still do the leg kick and the air drums are still my favorite. I'm a better man for having known you. Bang bang bang. Love you bro

Hey Bro, Christmas is over and the New Year is upon us. I sit here this morning and reflect on what has passed and what will come, it is kinda foggy. Nothing seems clear and so much of my life is not my own. I wish you were here to talk to. I want so much to be away from Michigan and back home in WVA. Life was much more simpler there, maybe that is why we always tried to come back home. I am tied here at least until 2016, then I can make things new for me again. Sorry, its all about me this time .... but know that I love you and miss you terribly. I live with the guilt everyday that I never spoke with you more or maybe even listened to you more. What kind of a big sis was I huh? Its my knowledge of your love for all of us that keeps me going. Skylar turned 14 yesterday and my Grandson is 1 year old today, boy how time flys. I send my hugs and kisses to you now and everyday of my life and look forward to the day when we embrace in God's love together ~ your big sis Vickie

I will be going to WV next month to see the family. My prayers are always with you, Dad, Mom and the rest of our family in Heaven. I keep Kelsey and Skylar in my heart daily as well. with love never ending ~ your big sis Vickie

Tony I wish I could had said goodbye I wish we could had spent more time together I remember the times we did have together and the mischief we got into and the times we spent in the basement tattooing on my body that you used me as a practice canvas lol I entered the King you did on my leg today in a contest maybe you can put a good word in and I can win the contest lol anyways I will never forget you as long as I live and I'm wondering who all you have tattooed up there RIP Flash.

I just found out today that Tony was my half brother that I never got to meet. As I look at his picture; I see the resemblance in my younger brother. I was glad to see that he was a tattoo artist because I have a lot of them and I loved to ride mountain bike. I really wish I could have met him and now I would like to tell his family that I am sorry for your loss. May you always hold his memories close to your heart and cherish the times that you shared with him. God Bless you all. -Tommy Powell, Knoxville TN.

Tell Mom and Dad that we love them too - your big sis Vickie - signed with never ending love ... (tear) miss you so much.

Today is Kelsey's graduation party. It is times like these when I get angry with you all over again. But then I love you and miss you so much the very next minute. You would be so proud of her, she has grown into a beautiful talented young woman. I pray she feels your love today.

Tony,
Nick and I sat up talking about you last night. We laughed and cried and laughed some more. We miss you everyday, but we know that we will see you again someday. You are forever in our hearts. We love you!

January 26, 2011

I remember when Tony was a little boy and I would come to see Vickie, he was always so bubbly and happy. And how much love he had even as a small child. I am sure he had the same disposition as a grown man. His smile could light up a room. Just know he is now with the Angels and is now lighting up heaven with that smile. May Gods loving arms give you comfort and peace thru this time of sorrow. Love to the entire family at this time.

Tony ... I light this candle in the hope that you will see us here looking up at you with hope and love ... the day we are born we start to die but it is God's will as to when ... he took you from us early but it's his plan not ours ... I love you so much and still cry until I am with you ... its human to grieve, so here I sit until I am in spirit with you ... your big sis Vickie

I had not seen Tony in nearly 15 years, but I still have such great memories of him. His magnetic personality and that wonderful smile.

My prayers continue to be with Erin,Kelsey,Sklyer and the rest of the Family. Hold your memories of this amazing man close to your heart. He will never be forgotten!

I cannot stop grieving... It still hurts so bad. Everything in my life reminds me of something we did. Most of the ppl in town have seem to have forgotten already. I don't understand this. I am still so hurt and angry. I just want my best friend back.

Victoria DiGirolamo-Leonard

September 27, 2010

We need to hold on as much as possible, he will never be amiss from our lives. I look at at a summers day and feel his smile upon my face. I look into a star filled sky and see his eyes twinkling. I look into the lake that surrounds my island and think of his arms around me hugging me like only he could (great bear hugs). You will always live in our senses. A sister, a Mom, and a friend. Luv you all!

Erin, Kelsey, Skyler & Family:

The world has lost a wonderful husband, father, friend, athlete, tattoo artist, and so many other things that Tony was. He was always so caring and encouraging. I met Tony at 24 Hour in his spin class, which quickly became my favorite. He was such an inspiration to all of us trying to get in shape and lose weight. Tony became a friend and my tattoo artist. He taught me many lessons and inspired me in ways that I probably haven't even begun to realize. He truly was a person who not just was in people's lives but made a difference in their lives. I endeavor to be like him in that way. Tony inspired me to get on a road bike, giving me a life long gift.

All of my prayers and love are with all of you right now and always. I pray for the peace that only Christ can provide to all of you, for the wonderful memories of Tony to keep you warm, and for God to hold you in the palm of His Hand.

Victoria Leonard

July 28, 2010

I was only 12 when you came into my life. When you passed it was like having to say good-bye to a son. Words can never express the love I have for you my brother. Knowing that your love of family and friends continues to be shown in these entries, make (I am sure) Mom and Dad proud. Keep a place warm for me and tell Mom, Dad and the others we have lost "hello"! Forever your sister - Vickie

YOu all will be in my prayers. He was so talented..he gave me an awesome tatoo and was an awesome cyclest and i attended his cycle class often at 24 hour...he will be deeply missed!!!

It has taken me a long time to be able to write something. It is too difficult for me to believe that my best friend is no longer here to share our fondest memories, (of which go back 30 years), talk on the phone, (almost every day for 30 years), and share more good times when he would come home to visit. Tony was the one person on this planet that knew every single thing about me. It kills me to have lost that. Tony was the most charismatic and good hearted person that I will ever know. Books should be written about his life adventures. I am so sorry for Erin, Kelsey, Skyler, Darlene, Paul, Vickie, Anna, Maria, Shea, Jenny, etc.. If I would name all of the people that will be impacted by the loss of Tony, the internet would explode. I will miss you Tony.

Russ & Missy Ross

July 15, 2010

Erin, Kelsey and Skyler,
Our thoughts are with you all. We attended Tony’s spin class the last few years. It was a pleasure to get to know him. Although we only spent one hour with him each week, he enriched our landscape, something we value greatly. His presence will be sorely missed. We wish you all much strength and happiness in your lives.

July 14, 2010

Erin & Family,
You do not know me but I grew up with Tony in Weirton and we graduated together. He was a dear friend!!! He gave me my first Tattoo. :)
He was an amazing man. I was very lucky to have him in my life. We lost touch after he moved his Tattoo shop from Follansbee, Wv. You and the girls our in my prayers. There are no words.
May our Tony D. Rest in Peace.
My Deepest Sympathy,
Robin Hypes(Bloomer)

Of course there are no words to describe the love and loss we feel for you, Erin and your whole family. Tony embraced us all with his fabulous zesst for life-giving. He made the world light up when he entered my life. I thank God for brushing past him and being on the planet at the same time. Thank you, thak you Tony and Erin for sharig your lives with us. We love you. Barbara and Richard.

Erin,
You, Tony, John and I were brought together in friendship. Respect, love and admiration soon followed. Now, you and I are sisters in like sorrow. Our lives have been altered by his passing. If there is one constant I know, is that I will always love and remember him with the strength and zest for life that was the epitome of his character. My love to you...now and always.

My love, people saw you in so many different ways....you were the loving husband and doting father, you were the scattered shop owner, you were the passionate cycling instructor, you were the true competitor on the track, you were a true friend to many and you depended on others. I love you so much and you rescued me and brought out a different part of me that will forever be....I believe I will see you again and I am so sorry that our time here on earth has ended but I believe my journey has just begun. You would be beaming with pride knowing how many people miss you and love you! I love you so much and I was so proud to call you my husband!

To Tony's Family: I am sorry to hear about your loss. Tony was always an amazing person. I met him when we were 10 and he was always someone special that had a smile that could light up a room. The last time we spoke he went on and on about his girls and how proud he was to be a dad. My prayers are with all of you!

July 2, 2010

Whenever someone passes i remain in shock & find it very difficult to believe. I stop to think when was the last i saw them,i resent & regret that i didnt stay in better contact or spend more time with them. So many questions left unanswered, so many things just left. Each time i say to myself.."why must we die?" "why are people taken from us?" "why?"...As time passes i find that the time between the "remembering" becomes longer..further apart, i hide my loss, my sorrow,my pain, instead i try to speak as if they NEVER left.. they just are not in the room. Im reminded of my own mortality,of the many friends i have lost, the loved ones,the not so loved ones..People will tell you that they are "sorry", they feel for you, that things will get better, that they understand..."it will be ok,just be strong" well...i dont wanna be strong, i havnt forgotten & it hasnt gotten better,it wont,it cant,i cant...how could i? its IMPOSSIBLE! I miss them, i miss them so so so bad! I make SURE not to make the mistakes that i have in the past with friends, i share a bit more,or less, i call a bit more often just to say "hey", to be kind, to forgive a bit quick,to ease my anger on my own,faster,to compromise,to try to understand a bit more,to accept,to give,to hope & to share my hope,my love..whatever it may be... i dont have money in the ways i used to.. i dont have more time,more love,more understanding,more patience,more anything,there is NO more of me,dulled,numbed,tired of "doing it one more day" ...but i try to make a bit more...just cause i know that i will need it & i know it allows me to sometimes "give a hand up..not a hand out". All the people in my life matter, to someone,somewhere,sometime,even if they dont just at that moment im being selfish,that im consumed on other "life matters" or that they "feel" im not caring enough about the "problem(s)/conversation(s)/issue(s)" the "moments"... i am not here,alive to judge,to condemn,to hate, to be frustrated, to have so much sorrow or guilt that i too want to die,yes...DIE!!?! That i want to fade away.. Perhaps...even to be with them,the someones...the friends,that i had wished i had given a bit more to,or perhaps even just gave the kind word to...instead of just ignoring or avoiding when it seems my own life is too overwhelming.I try to at least ..STOP..pause for the split second i can...to look DEEP into their eyes, and say " im sorry, what can i do, what would you like me to do,or i cant help right this second, i cant help at all, but perhaps i can help in this way or...or? " I dont like to"admit" the darker times in my life..i dont like to feel them, to relive them to be "held"..away, from the ones i love, but i have,i am hurting now,trying to keep my head up,grasping at the air, if not for me? if not for the ones i say i love? then for the fact i am MENT TO LIVE! and when i am not ment to...so be it, it is what it is. Love this moment,spend your time with the thoghts that may bring you happiness,sorrow,all of the feelings that let you know you are ALIVE and you "should" be sharing with everyone you can..yeah, even that stranger who never even asked you to take a second look at them, that has not even paid you the attention of a look! To stop them, and say "are you having a good day?" "Well what are you going to do to make sure it gets better?That it wont happen to you again? To be sure that it wont happen to someone else,that maybe next time u talk to ME sooner...the "stranger" so i cant come to your aid a bit faster! =)

For those of you who dont know me...my name is Johnny M. Melton, I live here in Colorado Springs, i have since the mid 70"s...its my home,like it,love it,hate it,or feelings of indifference or bitterness. Its consumed me,taken me,held me,nurtured me,brought me to life and will undoubtedly kill me one day.

Erin,
I am so sorry to hear about Tony's passing. I use to work at 24 and knew the both of you. Tony was the only one to ever get me to take a spin class and it was his!! He even did my youngest son's tatoo.. He was always so full of energy and was so nice to me all the time. I'll never forget one Easter it was snowing and sleeting and I was driving down Dublin and there was Tony riding his bike!! You and your family are in my prayers...

I have felt blessed to have known Tony. I can't imagine losing a blessing like him.
Tony and I were skateboard buddies in the '80s. Tony brought energy to the table like no other. He was so happy to be part of something exciting and I will always remember his ambition. You are in my prayers.

A life beautufly lived, a heart so deeply loved.

There's not a day that goes by which Tony doesn't influence my life. I hear his hilarious phrases in my head constantly! I really enjoyed the time I got to spend with him. He always had a way of making everything light hearted and fun! I can't believe he's gone. My heart goes out to his family and all of the people who had the pleasure of knowing Him! I Love You Tony! Mi Amigo Por Vida!

Deepest sympathy to your family and all of Tony's family of friends. Thank you for sharing so many pictures of Tony's life. I'm a distant cousin, left Weirton in '83, never really knowing Tony and that is my loss. Be blessed in faith that Tony will always be by your side.

Erin and the Girls, My heart and prayers are with you in this time of struggle. Stay in faith and remember that God is ALWAYS with you. Tony (your daddy) had an extraordinary ability to light up any room with his humor. Remember him with a light heart. He always spoke of you three with great passion, and expressed a great love for you.

Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers as your go through this heartbreaking loss. Someone already posted this, but Tony is only gone for a short time and you will meet him again in Heaven. Know that he is in the arms of the Almighty and he loves and misses you all so much. I only got to meet him for a short moment that night last year before you guys had to hit the road in a snowstorm but he seemed like a really good guy. Keep those memories alive in your hearts and minds. God bless you all.
