Dear friends,
Our much-loved 'hermano y amigo' Tony Fernandez passed away on Sunday, February 16 as a result of complications from the polycystic kidney disease that Tony suffered from over the past number of years.
The Fernandez family is deeply grateful to the many baseball colleagues, friends and fans who have surrounded them with expressions of compassion, love and prayers.
Following the funeral in Tony's native Dominican Republic, we anticipate that plans will be made for a memorial service to take place in Toronto at a later date. Details, once finalized, will be posted on this website as well as to the Facebook Page of the Tony Fernandez Foundation - Canada.
Thank you.
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:38,39)

Sharing joy with children in the D.R.
The Tony Fernandez Foundation works with underprivileged and troubled children by nurturing and developing them through counseling, education, training, physical and spiritual activities. Tony's vision is to fulfill his childhood dream to enrich the lives of less fortunate children.
During the 2022 Christmas season, the Tony Fernandez Foundation, represented by Tony's wife Clara, was once again able to provide a Christmas celebration with a meal and toy for children at an orphanage in the Dominican Republic.
"Our foundation's goal is to influence the children's lives to be productive citizens of the world, bringing hope to a troubled society."

The Tony Fernandez Foundation (Canada) is sincerely grateful to all the sponsors, donors, celebrity guests and golfers who for many years enabled the foundation to raise funds in support of improving the lives of children in the Dominican Republic, the Greater Toronto Area and across Southern Ontario. Tony's dream was to equip and empower children to grow up to lead productive lives and become positive role models in their homes, communities and beyond.
We are indeed grateful to everyone who has contributed toward the fulfillment of Tony's dream.
