It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the unexpected passing of Anthony Paul Gole, who left this world far too soon on Wednesday, September 9, 2026, at the age of 31 years. Anthony, lovingly known as Tony, leaves behind a deep and immeasurable void in the hearts of his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing and loving him. He was a cherished father, beloved family member, and loyal friend whose warmth, compassion, and generous spirit touched countless lives.

Tony worked for Bin Pro Ag in agricultural construction until recently. He then switched to truck driving for INXS Trucking, owned by his uncle Dan Gole, as well as Kamlah Farms. He loved both of his new jobs so much and was very appreciative of the opportunities to work for them.

In his spare time, Tony enjoyed playing baseball and hockey with his three sons and watching them play their games. He was also an active volunteer with Didsbury Minor Hockey, where he enjoyed coaching, mentoring, and driving the parade float.

Tony also loved his blue Dodge truck, which had belonged to his grandfather, Jim. It was his pride and joy. Through this truck, his love for his grandfather and the memories they shared will live on. It will be a special reminder of Tony and his grandfather, and a cherished part of his legacy that his three sons will carry with them.

Tony and his wife, Tasha, met in high school and welcomed their first son, Easton, in 2017. They later welcomed their second son, Bexley, in 2020. They were married in July 2022 and, shortly after their wedding, welcomed their third son, Stetson, in 2023.

Tony loved his wife and sons more than anything. He made sure to remind Tasha of his love for her every day. His love for his family was evident in everything he did, and his three boys were his pride and joy. Tony will be missed beyond words, but his love, memories, and legacy will live on through his three sons forever. He is survived by his loving wife, Tasha, and their three sons, Easton, Bexley, and Stetson; his parents, Paul and Val Gole; his siblings, Jean and Dray Gole; and his grandparents, Susan Gole, Joanne Boehlke, and Roy Reeves. Tony was predeceased by his grandfather, Jim Gole. He will also be deeply missed by his extended family, many cousins, and countless friends who were fortunate enough to know and love him. Tony’s love for his boys was at the heart of who he was, and his sons will carry his memory with them always.

In their own words:

“He was the best daddy, coach and friend. I miss and love him very much.”

“He was the best daddy. I love and miss Daddy.”

Tony will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered, and forever carried in the hearts of those who loved him. His life may have been far too brief, but the mark he left on the lives of others will never fade. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
