Tony Demond Young

A Time to Be Born Tony Demond “Black Moses” Young was born to the late Earnestine Carter and Earl Young in Belzoni, MS, at Humphrey County Hospital. Tony attended Humphrey County Schools. A Time to Be Baptized Tony grew up in a Christian community, and at an early age, Tony professed his faith in Christ. He joined Calvary M.B. Church in Midnight, MS, under the leadership of the late Rev. Rozzie Lee Reed. A Time to Live Tony was a man whose love for the Lord was evident in the way he lived each day. He loved going to church and remained faithful to God throughout his life, finding joy, strength, and purpose in his walk with Christ. Having accepted Christ at an early age, Tony carried his faith with him wherever he went, allowing it to guide his heart, his actions, and his relationship with others. Tony was also known for having the best sense of humor. He had a special gift for making people laugh, lifting spirits, and bringing joy into every room he entered. His laughter was contagious, and his presence made others feel at ease and truly cared for. He was loved by many and never hesitated to lend a helping hand. Tony found fulfillment in helping and taking care of others, always putting the needs of family, friends, and even strangers before his own. His kindness, generosity, and servant’s heart will be remembered by all who had the blessing of knowing him. A Time to Rest On February 9, 2026, at his home in Gulfport, MS, Tony stepped across the threshold that we call death, but it was only a step into another room, and not a step out of the fellowship of life. Tony stepped into the room of our Heavenly Father’s House. There are three steps to Heaven: out of self; into Chris,t and on to Glory.
