Anthony "Tony" Sovis Jr.
Age 82 of Montrose passed away Saturday, May 29, 2021 at McLaren-Flint.
A Mass of Christian burial will be held 11:00 am Saturday, June 5, 2021 at Good Shepherd Catholic Church in Montrose with Fr. Jonathan Perrotta officiating. The family will receive friends at Nelson-House Funeral Home on Friday from 2:00 pm to 8:00 pm with a rosary prayed at 7pm and military honors to follow.
Anthony was born January 6, 1939 in Owosso, the son of Anthony and Helen (Kleinedler) Sovis.
He graduated from St. Paul High School and proudly served in the United States Army Company B 2nd Medium Tank Battalion 1st Cavalry.
Tony was a member of the Knights of Columbus 3rd level. He loved camping with his wife, fishing and hunting. He enjoyed cooking, dancing, gardening and watching western movies. Tony took pride and joy in his cars; especially his 57 Chevy Impala. He never learned to read music so he played his accordion by ear and recorded the polka music he played on CD's for his family. More than anything Tony was a family man and he enjoyed spending time with his family.
He married Eloise Sovis at Good Shepherd Catholic Church on October 11, 1997.
Tony was a lifelong farmer and co-owner of Venice Septic Tank Company.
He is survived by his wife Eloise; children Paula Burtch, Joan (Jeff) Brands, Lorraine (Greg) Anderson, Jane (Brent) West and Shelli Burkhardt; grandchildren Brianna Burtch, Morgan and Justin Mausolf, Cameron Brands, Ian Anderson, Erika (Robert) Sumbera, James and Jamie West, Shane and Autumn West and Lauren Burkhardt; great-grandchildren Brexleigh Sumbera, Jalen West, Julionna West, Emma West, Mason West, Tegan West and Cyrus West; other loving family and friends.
Tony was predeceased by his parents, sister Helen Malik, brothers-in-law Chet Grifka and Jim Bull.
Memorial contributions are suggested to AFB American Foundation for the Blind.
