September 29, 1961 — November 11, 2023
Anthony V. Chronister, age 62, of Kissimmee, Florida passed away on Veteran's Day, Saturday, November 11, 2023 at Osceola Regional Medical Center.
He was born on September 29, 1961 in East Liverpool, OH, son to his parents, Elaine (Craven) Richards and the late Vincent Wayne Chronister. On April 3, 1986, he married the former Mayumi Ohmiya.
Tony, as he was known to his friends and family, was a decorated United States Air Force veteran, with multiple deployments, retiring after 23 years of honorable active duty and reserve service and achieving the rank of MSGT. In 1993, he began his career in Law Enforcement at the UCF Police Department, rising to the rank of sergeant before he retired in 2020. He was a founding member of the UCFPD Emergency Response Team, Bicycle Patrol Team, and served in many other specialized roles with honor and distinction. Tony's favorite things included home cooking by his wife, endless cups of coffee, and watching his Ohio State Buckeyes compete on the gridiron with a beer in his hand.
He is survived by his loving wife of 37 years, Mayumi Chronister, of Kissimmee, his mother, Elaine Richards of East Liverpool, OH; three brothers, Frank Chronister of Clear Lake, CA, Stephen Chronister of Lisbon, OH, Mike Chronister and his wife, Lisa, of East Liverpool, OH; a sister, Debbie Armstrong and her husband, Earl, of Clermont; and four nephews, Neil Mattern, Danny Mattern, Spencer Chronister, and Alex Chronister.
