Our beloved husband and father Anthony John Young, “Tony,” passed away after a courageous two year battle with cancer early Friday morning with his wife, Susan, by his side. Tony was born on May 25, 1943 in Victoria, BC, to parents Henry Esson and Peggy (Cornish) Young. Growing up in Port Alberni and Campbell River, Tony worked summers on the Uchuck IV with his father and brother Dave, eventually moving to Richmond, BC to work for Cantins Moving and Storage and later Coast Mountain Bus Company. While vacationing in Hawaii in 1975, he met his future wife Susan Renk of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. They married on February 25th, 1978, and settled in South Surrey, BC. Tony is survived by wife Susan, son Ryan (Alexandra), daughters Rosalyn, Nicole, brother Dave (Nancy) and nieces Tracy (Randy), Shelly (Rob) and their daughters Emily and Olivia. Tony was known for an unrivaled dedication to his family, a work ethic envied by all, and a laid-back attitude that put all those around him at ease. A Celebration of Life service will be held for Tony at Good Shepherd Church (2250 150 St, South Surrey) on Friday, February 5th at 1:00pm. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The Dr. Catherine Poh Oral Cancer Research Fund.
