Donald Wayne "Tony" Pedockie, 85, of Richmond, died Monday, May 13, 2019, at North Care Hospice House in North Kansas City.

Tony was born on September 5, 1933, in Richmond, the son of Peter and Margaret Frances (Seek) Pedockie.  He was united in marriage to Janet M. Eichler of Richmond on August 14, 1954.  She survives of the home.

Additional survivors include: two daughters: Angela Tribble (William Galloway) of Blairstown and Arlene Kennedy (William Kennedy) of Sioux City, IA; one brother, Edward (Elaine) Pedockie of Excelsior Springs; one sister, Shirley Humbard of Excelsior Springs; two grandchildren: Lesley Tribble and Brandon Perry; and one great-granddaughter, Rosalie Perry.

He was preceded in death by his parents and one daughter, Vanessa Pedockie.

Tony grew up and was educated in Richmond.  As a youth, he and his friends were very adventurous, like Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn.  For many years, Tony owned and operated Pedockie Painting in Richmond.  He had a strong work ethic and spent many evenings building and remodeling his home, after a long day of painting.  Tony had a talent for fixing anything and could make anything look brand new.  He enjoyed fishing, was an avid quail hunter, and trained his own bird dogs.  Tony was a great story teller, little bit of a prankster, and always had a good joke.  Many of his stories were about his adventures as a youth.  Tony was of the Christian faith.

The family suggests memorial contributions be made to The Parkinson Foundation of the Heartland or Sunny Slope Cemetery.  They can be left at or mailed to Thurman Funeral Home, 507 East Main Street-P.O. Box 190, Richmond, MO 64085.
