Obituary
Mr. Antonio Echols was born to Margaret Echols and James Mason on February 15, 1973. Antonio was the ninth child born to this loving union in Fulton county, Atlanta Georgia. Antonio received his education in the Atlanta Public School System, where he attended Luther Judson Price High School.
He was a loving and generous person and all that knew Antonio loved and adn1ired him, God called him home on Tuesday, May 21, 1996. He leaves memories to be cherished by: his loving mother; Margaret Echols; five b~~others, James, Robert, Anthony, Toney and Moses; three sisters, Shirley, Cynthia, Roberta and a host of uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
If we had known that you were leaving,
e 'l"'l-T~ wou1lal nl ave sa1 d gooa1-~oye; .
~
. ..
But so quickly you sLpped away from us,
As in the twinkli~g of an eye; Now we sit and ,.~ronder why you
had to depart,
But you will forever dwell in our thoughts,
And always in our hearts,
We see your smile and hear your laughter
afar off in the distance,
We know that now c-~nd forever more
you are no longer with us;
We do not question the will of the Master
for He makes .no mistakes.
We only pray that in His infinite wisdom
we will be together again someday.
Your Loving Family
