Tony Brinson

Mr. Tony Brinson, age 60, of Lyons, died Thursday, January 26, 2023, at the University of Alabama, Birmingham, after a valiant battle following a lung transplant.  He was a lifelong resident of Toombs County and was a 1980 graduate of Toombs Central School.  He began his career in 1982 with the Southern Company and retired as the Supply Chain Manager of Plant Hatch after forty years of service.  Tony was a member of The Church of God and fully committed to his faith in Jesus Christ.  He loved life, his family, his co-workers and was an avid sports fan, especially our two time national champs, The Georgia Bulldogs.  He loved spending his off time with Denise and Brooke and taking them on beach trips and river outings.  His greatest passion was his family. Preceding him in death were his parents, Larry Brinson and Elizabeth Braddock Brinson; one sister, Cindy Sanders; and one brother, Greg Brinson.

His family includes his wife of twenty-three years, Denise Brinson; one daughter, Brooke Brinson, both of Lyons; one brother, Luke Brinson of Cedar Crossing; one sister, Diane Brinson Hart of Cedar Crossing; and several nieces and nephews.

The funeral service will be Tuesday afternoon, January 31st, at 3:00 at Oasis Church of God in Lyons with Reverend Marcus Zipperer and Pastor Steven Toole officiating.  Burial will follow at Edmond Chapel Church of God Cemetery with Bishop Gilbert Wommack and Reverend Harold McLeod.

The family will receive friends at the church on Tuesday afternoon from 1:00 until just prior to the service.

Pallbearers will be David Taylor, Greg Stipe, Willie Beecher, Jim Ripple, David Crawley, and Randy Mundy.

Honorary pallbearers will be the active and retired staff of the Southern Company.
