Anthony Wayne Starkey II

Anthony Wayne Starkey II “Tonyboy”, 36, of Danville, WV went home to be with the Lord on March 21, 2024.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents, William and Frances Starkey of Sharples, WV and Ira and Delores Dolin of Danville, WV.

Left to cherish his memories are his parents, Anthony and Sallie Starkey of Danville, WV; sister, Rachael (Andrew) Dotson of Danville, WV; nephew, Cooper; niece, Bryce; and his very special Aunt Sissy, Diann Kish of Mifflin, WV.

Special thanks to all who showed Tony true compassion and love, especially his teachers who have come to show their support and love at this difficult time.   We are overwhelmed by the calls, visits, food, cards, anonymous help, etc. from so many.  God bless you all.

Dr. H.W. Lafferty Jr. has been more than words can say.  He went above and beyond for Tony for over 12 years, showing compassion for him when others didn’t.   We pray God’s richest blessing for him.  Thank you also to the staff and Family Health associates, nurses, Michelle Hill and Sharelle Adkins who always made Tony feel special.  They have such compassion.  There are no words.  We could never say enough to express our heartfelt thanks to them.  God bless them both.  Our pastor, Mark (Tressie) Meeker have been our mainstay.  Members of Prayer Connection Lighthouse, and a host of family and friends.  Special thanks to Hospice Care, especially Melanie, Libby, Judy, Julie, Jenny and Lissy.

Visitation for Tony will be held on Monday, Marach 25 from 6 – 8 p.m. 

Services will be held on Tuesday, March 26 at 11 a.m. at Handley Funeral Home in Danville, WV with Mark Meeker and Joe Lane officiating.  Burial will follow at Boone Memorial Park, Madison, WV.
