It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Antonios “Tony” Adam Antar, 32, of Woodbridge, Connecticut, on July 20, 2025, after a brief illness. Tony is survived by his loving mother and dedicated caretaker, Diamanto Antonellis, as well as his siblings, nieces, and nephew. 

Born with Down syndrome, Tony never outgrew his child-like wonder. He loved Disney movies, especially Toy Story and The Lion King, his baby dolls, and his stuffed bears. He also loved listening to disco music during his daily lunches with his mother. 

His family is heartbroken but looks forward to one day seeing him again to high five, shake hands, and fist bump. 

A funeral service will be celebrated at Saint Barbara Greek Orthodox Church, 480 Racebrook Road, Orange, CT 06477, on Thursday, July 24, 2025 at 11:00 AM. Friends may greet the family at the church from 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM. Interment will be private. 

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Brain Injury Association of America in Tony’s name. For more information, please visit biausa.org.
