Rev. Anthony L. Bagby, Jr.

Reverend Anthony Louis "Tony" Bagby Jr, was born on May 27, 1963 in Richmond, Va. He was the second child to Anthony Sr. and Doris Bagby. He attended Richmond Public Schools, where he participated in track & field and modeling. Tony graduated from George Wythe High School in 1983. He was employed as a counselor by Ascending Dove Care Facility and just received his certification as a Med Tech.

Tony accepted Christ at an early age, and was baptized under the leadership of Providence Park Baptist Church. He began his journey in ministry in 2010. He became licensed and ordained in 2011 under the leadership of Inspirations of Faith International Ministries. He continued his walk as an associate pastor under the direction of Dr. Arlene Simmons until he was led to establish his own church in 2013. Tony also was a proud and devoted member of the local recovery community, and served as a sponsor, speaker and friend to many for numerous years.

Tony was preceded to death by his parents Anthony Sr. and Doris Bagby; brother, Marvin Bagby; sisters, Antionette and Michelle Bagby; five uncles and four aunts.

Tony leaves to cherish his memory his devoted children daughter Niesha Henderson; son Anthony Bagby III; grandsons Nijel Henderson and Anthony IV; brother Terry Taylor (Zelda); two sisters, Demetria White (Solomon) and Latrice McDonnough (Andre´); eight nephews and three nieces; five uncles and two aunts; one great aunt; a host of cousins and friends; and a devoted friend Tara. Tony had a heart of gold, so it shouldn't come as a surprise, that he had a personal relationship with everyone he crossed paths with.
