John Anthony Bailey's Obituary
Tony (John Anthony Bailey) of Prescott Valley, Arizona passed away suddenly on April 30, 2024. He was the husband of Bryan Grisham and son of John and Lynda Bailey of Searcy, Arkansas.
In earlier years, he was involved in the Boy Scouts of America. He was a 1986 graduate of Searcy High School, where he served as FFA President. He received many awards and received a scholarship to Arkansas State University while in high school. He made a career in business management and loved everyone. He helped start Pizza Pro and later Mazzio's of Searcy, Arkansas. Tony also worked for Ken's pizza and Papa Johns. Needless to say, he loved pizza and would eat it every chance he got! Tony worked as area supervisor for many years before moving on to Golden Corral where he became a franchise co owner.
Tony always had the best attitude and loved living life to the fullest. He loved collecting watches and loved his two dogs very much. He enjoyed traveling with Bryan and friends Rey and Jen. Tony’s favorite thing to do after a hard day of work was to relax in the hot tub before bed.
