It is with great sadness and broken hearts that we announce the sudden and unexpected passing of our beloved brother, uncle, son, father, poppy, and friend, Tony James Gear on December 1st 2024 at the age of 55.
Tony was born on September 24th 1969. Leaving to mourn with loving and cherished memories are his parents Betty and James Gear; his two children who he loved beyond life, daughter Kailey Gear and son Daniel Gear and his beautiful granddaughter Avery who he adored. Sisters Lisa (Dave), Debbie (Alan), and Darlene; brothers James (Annette), and Danny (Roxanne); his many nieces and nephews who all have special memories of their beautiful uncle; and also a large group of cousins and friends whose lives he touched along the way.
Tony had a larger then life personality who could light up any room he walked in. He always had the ability to make you laugh and listen by telling one of his many stories or jokes or using one of his many talents of playing music though guitar, accordion, spoons or simply breaking out in song or a whistle. He was a beautiful soul with the kindest heart. We are all lucky to have known him and loved him.
Cremation will take place and a celebration of life will take place in Toronto on January 18th, 2025, at 156 Sixth Street in Etobicoke, M8V 3A5, from 2-5pm. All are welcomed to come and remember Tony.
Breathe easy now our beautiful brother. You will never be forgotten and you will always be missed. Xoxo

Daniel and I miss you more than words can even describe.
I only hope to be as amazing as you are and I won’t ever stop trying.
Thank you for being my light, my happiness, my comfort, and the best friend any little girl could have ever asked for. I was so lucky to have you as my Dad.
We will never forget you.
