Tony's most proud accomplishment in life was on March 24, 1999, when he welcomed his beautiful daughter Autumn into this world. Tony will always be remembered for his intense love and respect for family and friends. A true lover of life whose selfless disposition benefited all those around him. His strength, perseverance and fearless approach to life was an inspiration to all. His bright smile lit up rooms and hearts alike. Tony's boundless energy and outgoing personality electrified everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him. His ability to verbally express his deep love and affection was one of his most endearing qualities never to be forgotten. His huge heart for strangers, family and even animals knew no limit. He was a man who would give you his shirt off his back literally and figuratively and could be counted on day and night for anything. Tony’s varied interests included watching MMA fights with family and friends, listening to music, cars, native culture and fashion. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends and all that knew him.

In memory of “the little boy in Tony”, if you so choose, the family would prefer teddy bears in lieu of flowers. The teddy bears will be distributed to the children’s units in Saskatoon’s hospitals.
