Tony Christy
January 3, 1954 - February 15, 2017
A proud U.S. Marine, a wonderful husband, a loving dad, grandpa and a friend to everyone that knew him. He is survived by his mother Patricia, wife bj; daughter Sara, sons John, Chris & his favorite Korean daughter-in-law Inny, Greg (Jenny); sister Dee, brothers Mike and Jeff.
He was a Corporal in the Marine Corp from 1972-1975. In 1978 he started his 37 year career with NWB working as a repair tech, construction/splicer & supervisor and outstate Contract Inspector, retiring from CenturyLink in 2015. He was an expert in his field, highly respected and admired by his supervisors, peers and employees.
Family was everything to Tony. He was a devoted grandpa to Josie, Abby, Tony, Lukas & Mia. Whatever they wanted to do he was right there playing trucks, dolls, guns or Doc McStuffins. Many hours were spent driving his John Deere tractor with kids piled in the trailer, they all adored him. He enjoyed fishing, hunting with his black lab Shadow, riding his Harley and most of all spending time with his grandkids. Tony will be dearly missed by all of us.
Private service & burial to be held at Fort Snelling. Memorials preferred to Vietnam Veterans.
