Toledo, OH—Antonio Gaston, a cherished member of the local union and a dedicated worker at the Toledo assembly plant, passed away on August 21, 2024, following a tragic accident while performing his work duties. Antonio, affectionately known as "Tone" by those who knew him, leaves behind his wife and four children. His passing has left the community and his union brothers in deep mourning.
Tru Parham, a union steward at the plant, has organized a fundraiser to support Antonio’s family during this difficult time. The GoFundMe campaign has raised $2,005 of its $5,000 goal, with 27 donations contributing to the effort. Among the generous donors are Ken Carroll, who gave $500, and Zoe Luce, who recently donated $50.
Zoe Luce shared her thoughts on Facebook, stating, "If you haven’t heard yet, we lost a fellow union brother yesterday in a very tragic accident. My heart hurts for his wife and his kids. I didn’t know him personally, but from what others have said, he was a really genuine, awesome guy. Rest in Peace, brother. You are already missed by so many, even strangers. Hug your loved ones close tonight; we are never promised tomorrow."
Antonio’s permanent smile and joyous nature left a lasting impression on those around him. The community has rallied together, offering their support to his grieving family. Although no amount of money can replace their loss, the love and solidarity shown by the community will provide some relief to those left behind.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Antonio Gaston’s family during this heartbreaking time. May his smile and memory live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
