Tony Fahrer Obituary

Tony Lee Fahrer, 56, of Great Falls, died from complications of pneumonia Saturday, April 13, at his home.

A celebration of his life will be held in July. Burial has taken place under the direction of Croxford Funeral Home and Crematory.

Tony was born July 24, 1956, in Toledo, Ohio, to Donald and Nancy Fay Fahrer. He was raised in Holland, Ohio. After high school, he worked in several service stations. In 1979, he joined a traveling carnival and traveled around. While working with the carnival, he met Wanell Faller in 1981, and they were married a month afterward.

Tony worked as a carpenter remodeling houses, and he also worked at Trussworks before falling ill in 2000.

Tony enjoyed fishing and NASCAR. He loved his children and was very proud that his girls were going to college to get a good education. He loved his son, Josh and was happy that he was doing so well.

Tony is survived by his wife, Wanell; daughters Fawn Fahrer of College Place, Wash., and Jo-El Fahrer of Great Falls; son Joshua (Amy) Fahrer of Overland Park, Kan.; sisters Cindy (Dan) Flory of Palm Bay, Fla., and Stacey (Brian) Dietrich of Swanton, Ohio; and brother Bob Fahrer of Toledo.
