Tony Horvat

With broken hearts and the deepest sadness we announce the sudden passing of our Dad Tony Horvat Sr.

He will be forever loved and missed by his best friend of 60 years, his wife Edith; his children Bobbie (Darren) Niwa and Tony (Belinda) Horvat; his five Grandchildren; AJ (Chelsea), Dylan, and Spencer (Hope) Niwa, Sam and Amelia Horvat and three beautiful Great-granddaughters Logan, Addison and Rulene. He leaves behind, his two sisters Mary Tailby and Anne Szutiak, and brothers Ben and Leonard Horvat.

We can't forget his other best friend and constant companion Misty.

Big Tony was a kind and special man, someone that everyone who met him appreciated and loved. He was sensitive and compassionate with many kind words of wisdom to help us all along with our journeys. He might let you fall but was always there to pick you up and dust you off for another round. He made us all feel important because we were important to him, just as important as he was to us.

He was an inspiration to so many and we can only strive to be half the person he was.

We love you Dad.
