Bio: Antwan DeArvis Toney was born in Inglewood, CA. In his younger years, he served as a Boy Scout, Police Cadet and was a part of the Orange County Police Explorers Program. Officer Toney graduated from El Modena High School in 2006.
Antwan accepted Christ at an early age and was a faithful member of City of Refuge formally known as Greater Bethany and Avalon Zion Foursquare Church. During his spare time, Officer Toney loved volunteering with the local youth in Georgia. You would often find him playing basketball and mentoring whenever and however he could.
In 2016, Officer Toney graduated from the Gwinnett Police Department's 94th Academy on April 21, 2016 along with 25 other Cadets. He was just six days shy of celebrating his three-year anniversary with the department.
Officer Toney was loved by all who knew him. He was a guiding light to so many and definitely knew the true meaning of living life to the fullest. His family cherishes the fact that just weeks ago they were able to travel from near and far to laugh, dance, and sing with him to celebrate his 30th birthday. |
