Anthony Joseph Chan
(September 21, 1970- March 9, 2022)
It is with great sadness we announce the loss of our Tony-Jo Chan. Tony-Jo entered the presence of the Lord on March 9, 2022.
Tony was so loved and a blessing to his family: Tony’s parents Joe and Shirley Chan; sister, Donna (Dom) Bucsis – Janna, Jody; brother, Kevin Chan – Jakob, Meagan; brother, Kolby (Jolene) Chan – Kieran, Maliyah, Maddox, Linkon; sister, Nicole (Jamie) Simpson – Joey, Elliette. Tony also loved his Wingenbach, McCrady and Chan aunts, uncles and cousins. Tony valued his friends including Brent (Shelly) Evans, Steve (Shawna) Pollock, Lisa Lee – Jessica, Miranda, Tessie, and Dustin (Paulina) and countless others.
Tony was born on September 21, 1970, in Winnipeg, MB and raised in Moose Jaw, SK. He excelled in all sports including hockey, football, golf, hunting and he was an excellent motorcycle rider. He raced dirt bikes together with his dad and brothers Kolby and Kevin, and went on many bike trips with his dad, uncles, brothers and friends. After high school, Tony completed his degree at the University of Regina with a major in English Literature, became an Interprovincial Journeyman Steamfitter, and was endorsed and respected as a Principal Project Controls Cost Specialist in Construction Management.
Early in his life, Tony gave his life to the Lord, and when called, went to serve on mission trips in Mexico City, Egypt, and Vietnam. For Tony-Jo, faith was an essential part of his life, and he had an unwavering commitment to serve God. Through word, deed, and by example, he was a disciple for Christ. With heavy hearts, we announce Tony-Jo passed peacefully in the presence of God and his parents. He will forever live in our hearts, and we are comforted to know He is with Jesus.
Flowers are gratefully declined, and lieu of flowers donations in Tony-Jo’s name can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society 1910 McIntyre St Regina, SK S4P 2R3.
A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, May 28th, 2022 at 1:00 p.m. in Moose Jaw Funeral Home. Those unable to attend are able to view the service virtually by going to www.moosejawfuneralhome.com/webcast/.

Joe and Shirley. I am shocked and saddened to learn of Tony’s death. I always admired the way that you raised your children and spent time with the boys in shared activities like motorcycling. It is exciting to learn of his faith in the Lord and his participation in missionary trips. But I just wanted to to know that I respected him and have great memories of the times we did spend together when he was a teenager. May God comfort and surround you with his love and presence during this difficult time.
Dear Joe & Shirley:
We were saddened & shocked to hear the news that Tony-Jo had passed away. He came into our lives in 1980 when we started attending the church. Our kids of course played together at church functions. Will always remember him for his love of biking with his dad & brothers.
Our love goes to you folks, even though we can’t comprehend what your’re going through as we have never faced it.
We love you folks & will be praying for you that God will comfort and keep you at this most difficult time. Its so wonderful to know that he is with his Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ. We will be praying for you.
Love Ron & Pat Redpath
