Anthony Walsh Obituary

On the morning of July 5th Tony passed in Cook Inlet doing the things he loved! His life was filled with adventure for the outdoors and huge love in his heart for his family.

One of two children, Tony was born on February 8, 1956 in Pottsville, PA. Tony left Pennsylvania for a life in the outdoors of Montana. He hunted as much as he could but ended up working the woods for his outdoor addiction. He came to Alaska in 1985 to pursue a career in the oil field. Throughout his career, Tony gained many lifelong friends and proved his work ethics were superior.

He is survived by his daughter, Samantha; step sons, Jeremy (Natacha, Dometri, Mystica, Arena) and Jonathan (Angelina, Niabella, Janaiya, Aliana); step daughter, Candice (Kaylani, Dallas, Ashley, Miller); Brother Pete with wife Alice; nephews, Matthew (Tristan, Aurora, Austin) and Christopher (Kristel, Leah, Finley, Noah); niece, Sarah.

Tony is preceded in death by his parents, Mary and Lawrence Walsh.

A ceremony of life will be celebrated on August 4th at 4 Corners Lounge in Palmer, AK from 12-3. There will be an additional celebration in Minersville, PA this coming fall. Family and friends will get together and remember a man who worked hard for his family and enjoyed life at the same time, farewell Mad Anthony

My sincere condolences in your loss of Tony! I graduated in 1974 also and Tony didn't say too much to me but was always nice and would say "Hi". He excelled in what he did and was a hard worker from what I could see. Will miss you Tony!! I send sincere sympathy to his family for the loss of such a sweet, strong yet gentle man! RIP Tony!
