Joseph Anthony Stomboly

Joseph Anthony Stomboly, 64, of Neosho, MO, passed away on December 1, 2023. Born July 24, 1959, to Joe and Clara Stomboly, he embodied a life filled with kindness and a heart that welcomed everyone. Tony, as he was fondly known, was a skilled carpenter and a man of many talents. His gift for sales was legendary. For the past several years Tony poured his heart into his beloved food truck, Bada Bing BBQ, where he showcased his mastery in smoking meats. Strangers became friends as they recognized him not just for his delicious food but for the warmth he exuded from behind the food truck window. But beyond his professional skills, Tony's infectious smile and vibrant personality lit up every room he entered.

Tony had a knack for wearing Hawaiian shirts and “unique” t-shirts that brought many laughs to his family and friends, symbolizing his playful spirit. His passion for competition wasn't the only thing he passed down to his children; He passed on his love for helping others to his children, creating heartfelt moments where generosity became a shared value among them.

Above all, Tony's greatest treasure was his family, who held an extra special place in his heart. He leaves behind a legacy of love that touched the lives of many. His giving nature and that ever-present smile will forever be remembered by those fortunate enough to have known him.

Tony is survived by his wife, Tammy Stomboly; his son, Joseph "Joey" Stomboly Jr., stepson, Chance Richey; daughters Jennifer Stomboly and Nicki Bates and stepdaughter, Faith Richey; his parents, Joseph "Joe" and Clara Stomboly. He is also survived by his brother, Richard Stomboly; sisters Lisa Freeman and Kristi Dinwiddie; and grandchildren Gage, Chloe, Madison, Liberty, Brooklyn, and Brianne.
