Anthony Edward Brienze

Anthony Edward Brienze “Tony” passed away Friday, July 28, 2023 from injury, sustained from a motorcycle accident.

Tony was a 2015 graduate of Science Hill High School and a retired combat veteran.

Tony was born on August 28, 1996. Tony had a love of cars, motorcycles and all things fast, but they failed in comparison to the love he had for people. Tony was one of the rare kinds that could instantly make you feel better by walking in the room. Always willing to help or to listen, not because he had to but because he genuinely cared. He was proof that you cannot judge a man’s heart by his stature. Though small in stature, his heart was one of the biggest I’ve ever seen. He was a blessing to all that knew him and his memory will always be a bright spot in our hearts and one of our most cherished possessions.

Tony was preceded in death by both sides of his grandparents.

Tony is survived by his parents, John and Renee Brienze of Johnson City, Tennessee; Momma, Lora Mullins of Fall, Branch, Tennessee; three brothers, Johnny Brienze, and wife, Karley of Elizabethton, Tennessee, Joey Brienze of Johnson City, Tennessee and Trevor Mullins of Johnson City Tennessee; two sisters, Sara Kelly of Johnson City, Tennessee, and Brenden Mullins of Fall Branch, Tennessee. Tony had two nieces and four nephews, as well as multiple close and very special friends he considered family and held very close to his heart and loved very much.

The family will receive friends and family from 9 am to 12 pm on Tuesday, August 8, 2023 at Morris Baker Funeral Home; a funeral service is to follow at 12 pm. Morris-Baker Funeral Home and Cremation Services, 2001 Oakland Avenue, Johnson City, TN 37601 is honored to serve the Brienze family.
