Anthony ‘Tony’ Michael Munoz

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the unexpected passing of Anthony “Tony” Michael Munoz on the morning of Sept. 16, 2022.

Tony was born in Santa Barbara and raised in Goleta, “The Goodland,” where he participated in youth sports; Goleta Valley South Little League, YFL, Page Center Basketball, Boys Club Basketball, and martial arts.

He attended St. Raphael’s Elementary School, Bishop Garcia Diego High, and graduated from Dos Pueblos High School in 2004 where he played football and basketball. He was an All-Channel League Defensive Back and was selected to the Santa Barbara County All Star Football team.

Tony worked for Santa Barbara County for 11 years in various positions, and was employed as a park ranger at Cachuma Lake at the time of his passing. Cachuma Lake was a special place for him, and he enjoyed hanging out there with his friends and co-workers.

Tony’s greatest joy was being a father to his daughters Malia and Makena. He was devoted to his girls and adored them. He loved teaching and coaching them in sports and spending quality time with them.

Tony was an avid sports fan and loved his Cowboys, Dodgers and Lakers. Another passion of his was playing a competitive round of golf with his brother Isaac and his friends. When he wasn’t on the golf course, he was fishing, hunting, playing disc golf, hiking with his dog Oakley, or socializing with his friends and family.

Tony is survived by his daughters Malia, 8, and Makena, 6, Munoz; his mother Yvonne Torres (Roberto); father Anthony Munoz; sisters Amanda Munoz, Salina Munoz (Griselda); brother Isaac Munoz (Danielle); nieces and nephews Sophia, Lily, Luke and Brandon; grandmother Lorraine Torres; numerous cousins; and a large extended family.

He is preceded in death by his grandfathers Gilbert Torres Sr. and Anthony Munoz; and his grandmother Theresa Munoz.

Tony was charismatic and had a passion for life, always present in the moment. He was fiercely loyal, and he lived life for today.

Tony was loved by so many in the community and he will be dearly missed. To know him is to love him. He had a kind heart and never wanted anyone to feel alone. His passing will forever change all of us and the mark he has left on our lives will last forever.

Services are as follows: Rosary, 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 29 at…

A nine-hole disc golf course has been installed at Elings Park, thanks to the efforts of avid players and donors. It is free to play, and the course has been designed to be suitable for beginners and family friendly.

The Elings Park Disc Golf Course was built along existing trails not far from the park entrance, in an arroyo behind the BMX track and below the softball fields. Access to the first hole is from the softball field parking lot. The baskets are secured to the ground, but not permanently installed, so they can be moved in the future.

The par-3 course is oriented to offer dramatic views of the Park, Hendry’s Beach, and Arroyo Burro Watershed.

“The elevations are outstanding, and players should enjoy excellent strokes from our mesa into the arroyo below,” said Dean Noble, Elings Park executive director. “But the course’s biggest hazard are the epic views. Players have a tough time concentrating. We also hear that it takes on an entirely new personality with the afternoon ocean breeze kicks up.”

The course was proposed by Bob Bryant of Bryant & Sons Jewelry, a longtime Elings Park supporter. It is funded by Bryant and his wife Patty, who is the current president of the Elings Park Foundation Board.

Avid disc golfers Mike Evans and Noah Peresman volunteered to design the course, which was installed by the Sage Trail Alliance, a park partner for more than 20 years. The course was completed in time for disc golf to be played by campers at Camp Elings’ Outdoor Adventures Summer Camp.

Only dogs with EPDOG memberships are allowed in Elings Park and on the new Disc Golf course. For more on how to become an EPDOG member, which allows off-leash access to the park’s entire 230 acres, visit
