Donald Anthony “Tony” Depperschmidt
With deep sadness the family of Donald Anthony (Tony) Depperschmidt reports his passing on Thursday, March 7, 2024. Tony was born on a Naval base in Kenagawa, Japan just outside of Tokyo on January 11, 1964 to father Donald John Depperschmidt and mother Brenda Carol Walker.
He is survived by his father, Donald John Depperschmidt and his sister Valerie Condon, brother-in-law Pat Condon and nieces Siena and Aubrey Condon; and sister Angela Adams, brother-in-law Mike Adams and nephews Zachary Depperschmidt, Matthew and Cade Adams, and niece Ashtyn Adams.
While growing up in Houston, Tony became a very gifted master mechanic, had a deep love for music and played a mean guitar. He also had a deep love and fascination with all manner of firearms, and collected many of his favorites. He loved spending his weekends playing darts, pool, or table tennis with friends. Attending his large German family reunions where he indulged in a crowd favorite of V8 and beer cocktails was also one of his favorite places to hang out. Tony’s larger than life presence will be missed by all!
A private family memorial will be held for immediate family members in April.
I knew Tony and Tony knew me. He was a good man, tough as iron, but with a kind and gentle soul. I will miss him. Godspeed, Donald Anthony!
