Anthony "Tony" Frank Medure

We regret to announce the passing of Anthony "Tony" Frank Medure, aged 92, who passed away peacefully on May 17, 2024, following a courageous year-long journey with various health issues.

Tony graduated from Massillon Washington High School and then served in the Navy for four years. After his service Tony joined the Massillon Fire Department in addition to beginning his career of 30-plus years as a custodian for the Massillon City School. A special moment was created when Sports Illustrated included a picture of him in their published story regarding Massillon football. He was able to retire at a young age and then spend 40-plus years filling his day however he pleased. This included part-time jobs, being outside, gardening, fixing small engines, and spending time with his family.

He was preceded in death by his parents, and two sisters, Antoinette Griffith and Joanne Reynolds.

Anthony is survived by his loving, devoted wife of 67 years, Nancy (Weick) Medure; four sons, Joseph (Janet) Medure, David Medure, Christopher (Traci Baus) Medure, and Michael (Christine) Medure; grandchildren, Vincent (Riordan Hipp) Medure, Hannah (Patrick) Wickel, and Austin and Gaven Medure; one great grandson, Liam Wickel; sister, Connie Finley, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

Anthony Medure will be fondly missed by all who knew him, but he will live on through his family, friends, and colleagues whom he encountered.

Anthony wished for no calling hours. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Friday, May 24, 2024 at 10:30 am at Divine Mercy Parish – St. Joseph Catholic Church Massillon, Fr.
