Anthony Pierre Meador resided in Paris, Arkansas, passed away Wednesday, August 11, 2010 in Russellville. He was born March 10, 1965 in Dallas, Texas to Pierre Meador and Shirley Marie (Stewart) Meador. He was 45 years old.

Tony was a former assistant manager for C.V's IGA in Paris.

Tony passed away from this world and is now by our Father's side because of his love and acceptance of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Tony had enough pains, struggles, and hardships to fill out numerous lives, but he faced it all with a joke and a smile. He blessed us all with his tender and kind heart. He loved his family and friends and made an impression on everyone he met. He loved fishing, arrowhead hunting, movies, and old T.V. shows like the Andy Griffith Show, and going to Branson. His visits to the E.R. numbered in the hundreds, but we take comfort in knowing that his broken, ravaged body has been made whole by God's grace and love and the promise that has been made to each of us. His life was a great blessing and we will see him in God's time.

Memorial service will be 11:00 a.m., Saturday, August 14th, at the Brotherton Funeral Home Chapel in Charleston.

The body was cremated under the direction of the Brotherton Brothers Funeral Home in Charleston.
