Tony McIlwain, 66, passed away Sunday, August 26, 2018, at his home in Frankville, AL, surrounded by his loving family. He was a native and resident of Washington County and a member of Barlow United Methodist Church. Tony attended Millry High School and later joined the service. He loved his country and was a proud veteran of the United States Army serving during the Vietnam ERA. Tony did dozier work, operated heavy equipment and was a truck driver for many years. He enjoyed being on the river, fishing, and family gatherings. I guess one could say his most favorite thing was just spending time with his family whom he loved dearly...and they all loved him back.
