Antone “Tony” “Doc” Auske, 61, of Bellefontaine, OH formerly of Indian Lake, OH passed away October 12, 2022, at his home.
Tony was born on June 29, 1961 in Mobridge, SD, a son of the late Jim and Erma Auske. He was also preceded in death for two brothers, Tom, and James “Junior” Auske.
Tony is survived by his wife, Michelle “Shelly” Gannon Auske, two sons, Bobby (Jessie) Auske of Union City, IN, and Anthony Auske of Bellefontaine, nine grandchildren, two sisters, Darlene Davis, and Rita Gehring, two sisters-in-law, Barbara Davie, and Diane Cross, and several nieces and nephews.
Tony was well known for his music, playing in several local bands. He was an electrician for many years and worked IT for McKesson for years until having a stroke 10 years ago. He enjoyed life, spending time with family, fishing, and playing guitar and the drums. Tony handled his disability with grace, dignity and definitely kept his sense of humor throughout the years and right up to the end, even through a six-month battle with cancer.
A memorial celebration of Tony’s life will be announced at a later date.
Arrangements are in the care of Shoffstall Funeral Home, Lakeview, OH. Condolences may be expressed at shoffstallfuneralhome.com.
