Obituary for Tony Guthrie
Tony Guthrie, age 65 of Mustang, Oklahoma, passed away Thursday, July 18, 2019 at his home in Mustang.
Tony was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma on October 16, 1953 and he graduated from Central High School in Tulsa. He attended Claremore Junior College and later went to work for OG&E where he was a lineman and journeyman for well over 30 years before he retired in 2008. Tony had a passion for old cars and he was very good at rebuilding them and showing them at car shows. Later in life Tony met his soulmate Brenda Wright and after a time of courtship they married on July 9, 2010 in Eureka Springs, Arkansas and they settled at their home in Mustang, Oklahoma. Tony and Brenda have treasured being a part of each other's lives for the last nine years and they always considered it a true blessing that they met each other. Tony was faithful to God and his personal religious beliefs and he enjoyed reading daily devotionals. When he wasn't fixing up an old car Tony enjoyed antique shopping and he always enjoyed spending time with family and friends.
