The remembrance post makes a direct reference to Jones’ daughter who also passed away, in the line ‘enjoy paradise with your baby girl.’ Markus Mac said of the wrestler,

I am very saddened to learn about the passing of ‘Shooter’ Tony Jones. Tony was such a caring member of the All Pro Wrestling community.

‘A standout amateur, a stellar pro, a great friend and more important than anything… a five star father.

first met Tony in 1997 as a fan at Gym Wars. Being a Daly City head, I’d see him around a lot. I was honored that our kinship grew onto brotherhood. My most sincere condolences go out to all of Tony’s family, friends and fans.

‘Shooter, thank you for everything. I salute your service not just in the ring, but in life. Enjoy paradise with your baby girl. I love you brother.’
