On March 31, 2025, at 1:39 PM Anton “Tony” Gorjup passed through the gates of heaven, entering into the presence of his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Tony was a kind and generous man. Always putting the needs of others before his own. He never met a stranger, always ready for a conversation. His goofy sense of humor made us laugh even when it wasn't all that funny. Tony loved his family passionately and unconditionally. He cared deeply for his friends and always was there for them. He absolutely adored his grandchildren and would move heaven and earth for them. Tony's love for his family and friends and our love for him is unmeasurable. He is greatly missed.

We would like to extend our thanks and appreciation to the Carpenter House of St. Joseph Hospice for going above and beyond for our comfort.
