Tony Moon of Covington, passed away Thursday, February 21, 2019, at the age of 68. Mr. Moon was an active participant in his community: he attended worship services at The Church at Covington, coached recreational sports programs, and spent his entire thirty-nine-year career with United States Postal Service working for the post office in Covington. After retirement, he pursued his passion for golf, whether hitting the greens whenever possible or watching golf tournaments on TV. Mr. Moon even shared his love of golf with his boys and saw to it that they each had their own set of clubs. As a former high school football and basketball player, he drew from experience and used his knowledge to become a well-liked and respected coach for the Newton County Recreational Department. Mr. Moon was known as a remarkable mentor to not only his children and grandchildren but also to those he coached in baseball and basketball. Mr. Moon looked forward to trips to his favorite destinations – the beach and mountains. He was preceded in death by his mother, Virginia Moon Walden; and father, Howard W. Walden, Sr.
Survivors include his adoring wife of 49 years, Brenda Moon; children and spouses, Tammy and Kevin Bivins, Dawn and Greg Autry, Brian and Jessie Moon, Ryan and Jennifer Moon; grandchildren, Amber Moon, Andrew Moon, Garrett Autry, Griffin Autry, Owen Weldon, Sophie Peck, Coban Moon, Hollan Moon; great-grandchildren, Jaycee Moon, Karter Moon, Guy Hines; sister, Gail Wright; brothers and sisters-in-law, Johnny and Vicki Moon, Howard and Pauline Walden; brother-in-law, Alan House; as well as a host of nieces, nephews, and cousins.
A Memorial Service for Mr. Moon will be held Sunday, February 24, 2019, 2:00 P.M., at the Chapel of Caldwell & Cowan, 1215 Access Road, in Covington, with Pastor David Payne and Shane Williams officiating.

May the Lord be with his wife and children and with his brothers and sister at this time.
