Antonio Machuca, age 35, passed away on Friday, December 22, 2023 in his home in Rogers, Arkansas. He was born March 25, 1988, in Redondo Beach, California, to parents Fernando and Maria Machuca.  Antonio "Tony" cared greatly for his family, one of the many ways he found joy was grilling and cooking for them.  Tony enjoyed playing online video-games to spend time with his friends, he also enjoyed watching/reading animes; it was an imaginative way for him to spend his time. He was full of spirit, with a stubborn determination that occasionally tested the patience of his family. Tony also had a gift for making people laugh, and this made for many cherished moments spent together.

He is preceded in death by his father, Fernando Machuca.

Tony is survived by his mother Maria Machuca, of Rogers, Arkansas; brother Jesus Fernando and Miriam Machuca, of Wilmington, California; sister Liliana Machuca and husband Carlos Canales, of Rogers, Arkansas; sister Isabel Machuca and husband Pedro Zaragoza of Rogers, Arkansas; brother Francisco Machuca, of Rogers, Arkansas; nephews Brian Machuca, and Nicolas Canales; nieces Alilia, and Natalia Canales; and many other family, friends, and loved ones.

In celebrating Tony's life, we remember a fighter who never gave up, a person of giving, a caring family man, and a source of laughter for everyone around him.
