Tony Arthur Dugger, Myra, TX—Tony Arthur Dugger passed away on September 26, 2024, at the age of 78. His passing has left a profound sense of loss within his family and the wider community. Born on January 23, 1946, Tony lived a life filled with love for his family, friends, and country.
A veteran of the U.S. Navy, Tony served with honor aboard the USS Morton. After his service, he spent nearly three decades working as a machinist at Weber Aircraft in Gainesville, TX. His passion for the outdoors was evident in his love for fishing and riding his golf cart around town. Tony’s joy for life also shone through his love for music, often singing and dancing to classic country tunes.
Tony is survived by his loving wife, Becky Dugger, and his children, Beth Moore, Angela Hagemier, Tonya Hess, Tara Dugger, Joe Dugger, and Jason Dugger. His legacy extends to nine grandchildren, five honorary grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren, all of whom will carry on his memory. He was also deeply cherished by many nieces and nephews, with the family finding comfort in the bond they shared with him.
Tony’s family is planning a "celebration of life" service with military honors, which is scheduled for October 18, 2024. Erika Freeman-Dugger, Tony’s daughter-in-law, has set up a fundraiser to help cover the travel expenses for her family to attend the memorial in Texas. With limited resources, Erika and Joe are seeking support to rent a vehicle and cover food and accommodation for their family of four.
Tony was preceded in death by his parents, Arthur and Louella Dugger, and his beloved sisters, Rosalea Thompson, Virginia Langford, and Reatha Kincaid. His honorary son, Thomas Eddowes, also passed before him. His memory will forever live on through the many lives he touched, both within his family and the local community.
We extend our deepest condolences to the Dugger family during this difficult time. May Tony’s soul rest in peace, and may the family find comfort in the love and support surrounding them. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
