Toney Ray Callis was born July 19, 1963 to Nancy and Tony Callis in Edna, Texas..An Edna native, he grew up with his three sisters Darlene Brooks, Delores Brooks, Toni Callis, and five brothers, James, Lester, Josh, Reginald, and Kendrick Callis. He attended Edna High School where he excelled in football and baseball. His pitching skills landed him a scholarship with Delmar College where he obtained his certification in HVAC. Toney never learned to whisper, his voice always boomed which fit his sixfoot stature and proud stance. He was a sports fan who loved to watch the Cowboys on his big screen. However, his favorite Cowboys were the local Edna football team. Toney was known for being a tough man with a kind heart and with that kind heart, he made some amazing friends. He always “knew a guy” who could fix or solve it for cheaper and when he gave his word to someone, he kept it. If you were hungry and he was on his way to lunch he’d offer you a meal, if you were down on your luck and needed a ride he would tell you to hop in, and if you needed someone to talk to no matter what time of the night he’d answer his phone in three rings by shouting, “Hello!”After dedicating 25 years to Inteplast as a forklift driver, he retired. Upon retirement, he looked forward to fishing, Astros games, and hanging out with his brother Lester. He contributed to the youth and his hometown by establishing a nonprofit traveling basketball team the “South Texas Warriors” who went on to do great things for the community including adopting FM 1822 - Apollo Dr. and winning a list of championships. He leaves behind his most treasured possessions, his wife, Demetria Nelms Callis; children: Michael Rhodes, Homer Joiner, Tonica Callis, Jasmine Callis and Deion Callis; his honorary children, Samantha Bradley and Kenny Haynes; eight grandchildren; eight siblings; and a plethora of nephews, nieces, aunts, uncles and friends. He will be missed dearly. A celebration of life will be held at Edna’s First United Methodist Church at 11 a. m. on Dec. 5, 2020. The family will receive friends at the Cook-Butler Funeral Home between 4–7 p. m. on Dec. 4, 2020.
