Survivors include his beautiful wife, Bonnie Di Benedetto; children, Anthony Di Benedetto, Gregory Di Benedetto, Noelle Di  Benedetto, Carrie Di Benedetto, Raven Di Benedetto, and Alexander Di Benedetto; step-children, Freddie Davis, and Whitney Davis, and 14 grandchildren.

The memorial service to honor Tony's life will be on Wednesday, April 5, 2023 at 4 p.m. at Risen Savior Lutheran Church located at 1755 Quacco Road in Pooler, Georgia.

Because of the generosity of an organ donor, Tony received a new heart in 2010 on Easter Sunday.  In lieu of flowers we ask that you please consider giving to Donate Life America (donatelife.net) in his memory.
