July 20, 1949 - October 22, 2026
It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Anthony "Tony" Francis Carrigan, surrounded by his loving family, on October 22, 2026, in his 77th year. Born in Hamilton, Ontario, on July 20, 1949, Tony lived a life centred around family, friendship, and the simple joys he treasured most.
Tony was the beloved husband of the late Mary Lou Carrigan. He was the cherished father of Jim (Melanie), Michael (Ashley), and Dave (Kristen), and the proud and devoted grandfather of Ella, Ava, Lily, Addison, Jackson, and Olivia. He is also lovingly remembered by his siblings, Jon Carrigan, Teresa Slomka, and Joe Carrigan, and was predeceased by his brothers Vin Carrigan and Chris Carrigan.
Tony was happiest at his cottage, surrounded by family and friends. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, working on small engines, and sharing stories and laughter with those closest to him. Some of his fondest memories were made at the hockey rink with his three sons when they were young. In later years, he took great pride and joy in watching his grandchildren participate and succeed in a variety of sports.
Nothing pleased Tony more than good company and a cold drink in hand, swapping stories and sharing laughter with the people he loved. He will be remembered for his devotion to his family, his appreciation for time spent at the cottage, and the many cherished memories he created with those around him. He will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all who knew him.
A celebration of Tony's life will be held at Ye Olde Squire, 550 Fennell Avenue East, Hamilton, Ontario, L8V 1S9, on Saturday, November 28, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
