Tony passionately lived the adventure called life.  Whether celebrating at Chateau LeVeaux or Vermilion Falls with Kristen, driving around in the GEO hunting, picnics in the woods and boat trips up the lake with Ella and Brecken perched by his side, living on the wild side with Tonja, a lifetime of hunting with his best friend Pops "Dad", deep, soulful conversations about his love for his family with mom or having a cold one with family and friends, all were moments Tony treasured.

His Irish grit and tenacity pushed him through tough adversity, turning it into a strength, so that he lived with no regrets.

Anthony Scott Cornelius made his first footprint on this earth October 3 ^rd , 1986 at Cook, Minnesota where he brought immeasurable hope and joy to his mom, Kay and his Pops, Tim. Tony's "baby" sister, Tonja joined the Irish Shenanigans 4 years later.

He roared his way through school using it as a stage for making friends and meeting the love of his life, Kristen Scott. Ella Marie arrived to light up their world followed by an Irish lad named Brecken Scott. They built a life at Crane Lake and were starting a new adventure in Hermantown where he was a Thermite Welder for Canadian National Railroad.

Tony lived life on the edge never passing up a chance to make a memory. He was overjoyed to check a successful Montana Elk hunt off his bucket list.

A life well lived is a legacy of joy and laughter, a living, lasting memory our grateful hearts will treasure. Rest in Peace TC, October 25, 2017.
