Antonio was born September 23, 1983 in Baltimore, Maryland to Winslow and Lenise Lee. He received his education from Baltimore City Public School system. Antonio decided to leave his hometown and move to Columbus, Ohio in 2008. He had an amazing connection with his family and loved spending time with his daughter. Antonio was a hardworking man. Despite the obstacles with his health, he loved life and was a very caring person who loved to talk. He would have conversations with whomever he came in contact with. No one was a stranger to him. After accepting Christ in 2016, he became a member of Meridith Temple Church. Antonio would brighten anyone day when he showed up with his big smile. He loved music and enjoyed making rap songs, but he was known for quoting movies all the time. Antonio as most know him by “Tony”, “Bmore”, or “Chop” was always calling family and friends “Slime” or saying “what up Dunnie”.

To the Dodd family, please accept my deepest sympathy in the loss of your dear loved one, Antonio. When someone you love dies, it is like losing an irreplaceable, rare and precious jewel. God knows how you feel because he had to endure the pain of His son’s agonizing death. Romans 6:23 says, “For the wages sin pays is death, but the gift God gives is everlasting life by Christ Jesus our Lord.” May you rely on God’s promise that Antonio will live again! – Acts 24:15
