    Tony was a great friend, husband and father. He demonstrated how to keep ones strength, grace and determination in the face of great adversity. He didn’t complain only strived to make the time he had mean as much as he could. We were all better for knowing Tiny and will support Dana and the boys going forward. We love you brother.

    I wrote this the other night to try and put down in some way how I feel about Tony and his beautiful family!

    It is 11:07pm and I just returned from the home of one of my best friends in this world Tony Yasilli. He is my brother in every way and I love Tony as I know many of you do as well.

    Tony Yasilli passed away tonight around 8:30pm after a nearly 6 year battle with Cancer. While the disease has taken him from us his spirit will live on in his three sons, Ryan, Sam, AJ and Dana his wonderful wife. We are truly devastated by the loss of a truly wonderful man, loving father, devoted husband and a wonderful coach and mentor for our boys!

    I feel only love in my heart for Tony because I know he is now out of pain and in a much better place…may God bless Tony Yasilli and his entire family.
    I would ask the Lord to place his loving hands upon them all in their terrible hour of need. May their faith in God be their guiding light through this tragic time in their lives.

    My thoughts and prayers are with all of them and I ask for those that knew him to pray for his family today!!

    God Bless Tony and the entire Yasilli family

    I first knew of Tony as a coach of the Tigers. But came to know Tony more when he joined the Bridewell Foundation Board of Directors and Camp Esperanza team. Tony was looking for a way to give back to an organization that fights cancer just like Tony fought it. Much like all of us were blessed to know Tony, the Bridewell Foundation and many kids were blessed to have Tony fighting for them as he raised money, provided guidance and loaded buses to send the kids off to Camp (with Ryan). Bless you Tony for your example, leadership and giving. The world is a better place because of you and your family. Dana, Ryan, Sam and AJ – our thoughts and prayers are with you.

    Our prayers are with the Yasilli family for comfort today, and in the weeks and months ahead. Tony will always be remembered as a person of strong principal, partnered with a gentle, kind spirit. A very good combination. His life, and the good that he did, will touch and positively affect people that will never have met him. We are blessed that we did.

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
