Known for his quiet strength and generous spirit, Antoine was deeply devoted to his family and his faith. He accepted the Lord Jesus Christ in 2007 and was a member of New Springfield Baptist Church, where his faith was a source of guidance and comfort.

In January 2005, Antoine met his wife Avis, the love of his life, and they were married five years later. Their relationship was built on love, laughter, and an unwavering commitment that carried them through every season of life. Antoine was a father to Antoine Jr., Romello, Christopher, Jordan, Jada, and Ladarius and a doting grandfather to Kaycen, Mu’Lani, Ladeyn, Lakenzie, and Ladarius Jr., His family was his greatest joy, and his love for them was boundless.

Stonum Jr. (Vicki) & Brandon Stonum and beloved sister Jamie D. Cameron, as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, uncles, and friends who will forever cherish his memory.

Educated at St. Thomas Aquinas School in Cleveland Ohio and Greene Taliaferro Comprehensive High School C/o 1988. Antoine found happiness in simple pleasures: swimming, music, cooking, movies, and basketball. A lifelong fan of the Dallas Cowboys, he was always ready with a smile and a cheerful, “How ‘bout them Cowboys!” Antoine’s warmth, humor, and calm presence left a lasting impact on all who knew him. Though he left quietly the love and legacy he built will continue to resonate with his family and friends for generations to come.
