Robert Anthony “Tony” Slane
Robert Anthony “Tony” Slane, 54, a resident of Wendell, Idaho, died Wednesday, Jan. 18, 2012, at his home after a tough battle with lung cancer.
Tony was born June 15, 1957, in Twin Falls, the son of Ann Farnes and Clyde Slane. He was raised and educated in Kimberly and Twin Falls, Idaho, and Las Vegas, Nev. He worked as a well driller most of his life.
He married his best friend and the love of his life, Julia Yost-Slane, on July 3, 1999. Their life together was fun-filled and centered around family and friends. Tony enjoyed camping and boating at Redfish Lake, where they hosted annual camping trips. He was loud and funny and the life of the party.
His enthusiasm for life infected everyone around him, especially the kids.
Tony is survived by his wife, Julia Yost-Slane; and his four children, Courtney Slane (Brian Bourne), Nick Slane (Jeanette), Stephanie Slane (Matt Gunby) and James Carrillo; four grandchildren, Sierra, Jade, Kayla and Kye; and his brothers and sisters, Cindy Allyn (Rick), Craig Egan, Lori Egan, Karen Egan (Jon Reynolds); Micky and Mandy (“my dogs”); and the Boise State Broncos. He was preceded in death by his mother, Ann Farnes.
There are no words to express how Tony will be missed by his family and friends. He was Husband, Dad, Grandpa, Brother and Uncle Tonio. He will live on in our hearts.
