Tony's father, Dean Roper, died in a crash just a year later, on August 19, 2001. Also an accomplished dirt and modified racer, Dean Roper was competing at an ARCA race at the Illinois State Fairgrounds when on lap 17, he slumped on the steering wheel. He struck the inside wall on the front stretch three times before driving through an open section in the wall and crashing into the water barrels next to several spectators nearby; none of the spectators were hurt. The 62-year-old was rushed to the Memorial Medical Center nearby in Springfield, where he was declared dead. An autopsy revealed he had no injuries at all and that he had suffered a heart attack. Both Tony and his father Dean died in racing accidents within 10 months of each other.
At the Craftsman Truck Series O'Reilly 400 at Texas Motor Speedway on October 13, 2000, Roper was involved in an accident when he attempted to pass Steve Grissom and Rick Ware. Roper's Ford made contact with Grissom's front bumper causing it to take a sudden hard-right turn, which then caused the truck to impact the concrete wall of the tri-oval. An unconscious, unresponsive Roper was extricated from his truck, taken to the infield care center at TMS, and subsequently airlifted to Dallas's Parkland Memorial Hospital. Roper was determined to have a severe neck injury which prevented the flow of blood to his brain. He was put on a ventilator, and succumbed to the injury the day after the race, aged 35.
Roper was the third NASCAR driver to perish from racing related injuries in 2000, the first two being Adam Petty and Kenny Irwin Jr., respectively. It was the second fatality in the Craftsman Truck Series, the first being that of John Nemechek in 1997. Roper's was the first racing fatality recorded at Texas Motor Speedway.
Roper was born in Springfield, Missouri, to Dean Roper and Shirley Medley. Growing up his family was heavily involved in auto racing, as his father was a noted competitor in ARCA and other stock car racing series. Roper started racing in 1986. For the next six years he raced in IMCA Modifieds and late models on Midwest dirt and asphalt tracks. In 1992 he finished in second place for the American Speed Association Rookie of the Year Award. He started racing in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series in 1995, and the Busch Series in 1999.
