Anthony Daniel Vina
June 22, 1979 - March 7, 2023
Anthony Daniel Vina “AD” was born June 22nd, 1979 and he lived a very vibratious life. He was born in Salt Lake City, Utah to Tony and Sherry Vina and passed away March 7th, 2023. He is survived by his Mother Sherry Vina, Sister Tara Vina Roth, (Ken Roth) Brother Rhett Vina, Nephews Ryan Roth, Dalton Provost, Trey Provost, Nieces Sherry Ann Roth, Saige Vina, Michelle’s beloved children (Grace, Kalia, Dylan and Charlie) and many friends. Anthony was preceded in death by Father Tony Vina, Brother Daniel Anthony Vina, and his girlfriend Michelle Russell. AD was a great and talented business man just like his father. His wit and cunning attitude superseded many others. He ran several businesses from selling vending machines in California at the age of 17, to successful bars that were sold, to the final destination of being the master of ATM machines. He was always wise. He, unlike the rest of us, sought out the most lucrative opportunities and took advantage of them. His catch phrase was always “work smarter not harder.” Wow, he was a genius! Anthony spent his life growing up in Salt Lake City with very close friends that always stuck together. “Vina” as his friends called him was quite the handsome bachelor. The ladies man was talented in that arena as well. He told a lot of jokes and boy did they always land. Handsome, genuine, and wickedly sweet, AD could always get away with anything. In his master plan AD always wanted the best for everyone. Anthony was kind, genuine, and checked in on everyone. He enjoyed golfing, horseback riding and many other activities. We must say this past year he had the time of his life. AD purchased a house in Mesquite, Nevada and him, Sherry and his friends really had fun. Probably too much! Anthony will sure be missed.

Anthony, I think we might just get a shuffle board game in there for you now! So everytime we play it we can remember you! Your smile and laugh are something that filled the room. Your jokes and laughter and happiness will forever fill the walls of any walls you entered. I will miss your hugs advice and your ability to always ruin my bad days with that smile. Thank you for your encouragement and always making me feel supported. Give Meshell a hug for me! Xoxo
Sherry, I am so sorry to hear about your son. You have had more than your share of heartbreak & loss. I will think of you. Stay strong & remember the good times. Collette Miller
I love A.D.! There was nothing he wouldn't do for his friends. In high school, he would drive and pick me up for school even though he lived right next to Skyline and I lived a mile away. He was loyal to his friends. He once fed and took care of a hermit grab for a week so my sister could surprise me with it for my birthday. I have too many memories to share, I was fortunate enough to be loved by A.D. I knew I could call him anytime and he would do anything for me, even if it had been five years since we last talked. Love you Vina!
Very sorry for your loss Sherry. Known your family many years. Last saw you & Anthony when we looked at warehouse building. Condulises & take care Paul & Frank Page. .
RIP Anthony. I do consider you to be a friend. You were there, willing to help me, when I really needed you to. You didn't have to, but you were being a GOOD friend to someone who needed one. I wish to send my condolences to your family. You left this earthly life way to soon. I hope you find the peace you deserve. You will be missed.
Our deepest condolences, so sorry for your loss. Doug and Brigitte
Sherry, I just heard about your son, Daniel's passing! I'm so deeply sorry! Sending my love and prayers to you and your family! Love your cousin, Chris Carter Farnworth
I am so sorry hear about your family's loss. When I was growing up I always remember AD as a handsome gentleman. He was someone I admired. I pray for your family's healing and peace. AD is home with his brother and father together in heaven. My mom wants me to let you know she loves all of you. We are sorry we couldn't make it up there.
My deepest condolences to Sherry and Tara and the rest of the family. I just heard the news and I'm sorry I missed the service. I definitely would've made the trip to say goodbye. AD was one of my closest friends. We shared many good times and even more amazing catch phrases. I'll miss him very much. RIP my friend.
In Loving Memory
