William “Tony” Anthony Lindsey, age 66, of Smyrna, Tennessee, passed away on Wednesday, December 22, 2021, at his home, following a short battle with lung cancer.
Tony was born in Columbia, Tennessee. He graduated from Columbia Central High School in 1973. Tony also attended Columbia State University where he received a 2-year engineering degree. He was an employee of Collier Engineering for 13 years where he retired in November of 2021.
He was preceded in death by his father Richard Amos Lindsey, mother Dorris Kate Cummins Lindsey Mayberry, and his oldest sister Linda Kay Lindsey Sharpton. He is survived by his wife Candace Ann Lindsey, his son Ryan Lindsey, grandson Ryder Lindsey, his sister Sally Lindsey Rubert (Tim), his stepsons Brandon Barnes, Kyle Barnes (Josie), granddaughter Lisa Ruth Barnes. On the way is Tony’s namesake, a great-niece, Lindsey Mae, and numerous nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews.
Tony enjoyed many hobbies such as fishing, hunting, and Nascar racing; however, his favorite hobby was bowling. In his 50 plus years of bowling, Tony had many great achievements such as his multiple 300 games. But his most recent accomplishment, winning the 2019 Tennessee State USBC Men’s Doubles with Terry Hankins in their division, was something he was very proud of.
Tony was also a Tennessee Titans season ticket holder. No matter rain or shine, in the hot heat or freezing cold, he loved going to the games with his wife. Tony enjoyed the simple things in life. He loved spending time with family and friends and cuddling on the couch at home with his wife. Tony was a wonderful father, brother, grandpa, friend, and the BEST husband ever. Tony will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
