Steve Babos Obituary

Steve R. Babos, 56 years old, of Aurora IL, passed away Thursday January 26th, 2023. Steve is the son of the late Robert J. and Marilyn J. Babos.

Steve owned and operated Tony Weeds Pizza on Oliver Ave. in Aurora for over 25 years. He took great pride in serving some of the best, freshest pizza in the area according to his loyal customers and friends. Serious health issues forced him to hand over day to day operations to his nephew, Jonathan Saum, who carried on the tradition until his move to MI.

We thank all of you who believe in quality, handmade goodness.

Steve is survived by his sisters, Kathy (Byron) Saum, Suzanne (Daniel) Amoni, brother, Tim (Cathy) Babos and many loving nieces and nephews.

Preceding Steve in death are his parents, and sister, Patti Babos.

No services are planned at this time.

So sorry to see of Steve's passing. We are one of the families that enjoyed the "fruits" of his labors every Friday or Saturday night. Tony Weed's was a staple in our lives. We even had him prepare pizza to take to family as we expanded to other states. Our heartfelt sympathies to the family, The Robbins family, formerly of Taylor Avenue, Aurora.
