Obituary for Robert Anthony(Tony) Jennings Robert Anthony (Tony) Jennings, 57 of Cloudland, Georgia, passed away peacefully on June 30, 2018 after a long battle with non-alcoholic liver disease. After 9 years of fighting secondary life threatening episodes, he finally received a call for a liver transplant on June 21, 2018. Unfortunately, during transplant surgery, cancer was found, and the transplant was not possible.

At his request, he was transported home to be with family during his final days. Tony was born in Conyers, Georgia on February 2, 1961, third child and only son of J.C. and Mae Jennings. He graduated from Cass High School in Cartersville, Georgia where he excelled in academics, football, pole vault and wrestling.

He is listed in “Who’s Who in America High Schools” in 1979. He continued on to Georgia Technical Institute on a wrestling scholarship where he studied Chemical Engineering. He later attended Georgia Highlands College where he earned an Associate’s Degree in Business Management.

Tony worked as a Supervisor for Mohawk Industries until his illness prevented him from doing so. He enjoyed everything Georgia Tech, especially football; fireworks, holidays, fishing, animals, eating, playing games of any kind and spending time with family. He is survived by his wife of 22 years, Sheron Jennings, Rome; two stepsons, Shane and Jeremy Barnes, Carrollton; his parents, J.C. and Mae Jennings, Cartersville; sisters, Jane and Trell Sullivan, Woodstock; Janine and Joseph Jennings, Atlanta; Jill and Phil Frasier, Taylorsville; two grandchildren, Savannah and Matthew Barnes, Carrollton, and many nieces and nephews.
