We are sad to announce the passing of Tony (Anthony) Anaya, husband, father, grandfather and son, brother, and uncle, who was dearly loved by all. Tony was a gentle soul; a kind and generous man, who was sarcastically funny to a fault, and could read the room.He loved the great outdoors; and appreciated Mother Nature. You could find Tony fishing, tooling around in the woods, or even searching for agates at the beach. He was sometimes referred to as more Native than those he lived around. Tony was quite the artist; drawing, painting, carving, or creating. To those who knew him, he would do anything for you. He loved kids, especially his grandchildren, Chloe and Logan whom he adored.During his battle with “the big C,” (as he referred to it), you could find him trying to make the other patients and staff laugh. It was his mission to lighten the load for all. Tony was married to Lynnette and together they raised two beautiful daughters: Allison (Ian) and Alexis.Tony is survived by his mother, Barbara Allison, sister April Helm (Rod-Matthew and Megan and brother, Drew Anaya (Tammy-Andy and Ashley). He was preceded in death by his stepfather, Sam Allison.My brother’s passing has profoundly gravely saddened all of us, but especially his girls. We will be forever grateful to Alexis for selflessly providing loving care for Tony during his last illness. Tony wished no services, however there will be a celebration of life sometime in the future.Tony is off fishing somewhere free of pain with his best four-legged friend, Cheddar.
