Thomas Anthony “Tony” Sapp, 64, of Maysville, passed away Friday, September 30, 2022, at his home.
He was born in Mason County on July 21, 1958, a son of the late Elbert Luther and Bobbie Carolyn Bishop Sapp.
Tony (most of his friends called him “Sumo”) graduated from Mason County High School in 1976, and attended Maysville Community College and Murray State University before a lengthy career at Dayton Power and Light.
He was an avid sports fan. He served as bookkeeper for the Mason County Royals and Lady Royals basketball teams for more than 30 years. He was a member of the Calvary Temple men’s softball team for many years. His fondest memories were the years spent making memories with his friends traveling the country playing sports.

Many nieces and nephews also survive who will sadly miss him.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Harlan Luther and Thursie Carver Sapp; maternal grandparents, Thomas Woodrow and Verona Gilkison Bishop; a paternal aunt, Velma (Dean) Tully; and paternal uncles, Garlan Sapp and Owen Stephens Jr.
