Antone “Tony” Zarnik Jr., age 71 of Helena

Anton (Tony) Zarnik went to live with the Lord on October 15, 2014. He was born on August 29, 1943.

He was preceded in passing by his parents, Marion Wallace and Oscar Vanberg.

Tony is survived by his brother Johnny Graham Sr. from Missoula and his nephews, Bill Michael Graham (Missoula) and John Graham Jr. (Washington).

At a very young age, Tony went to the Boulder School and State Hospital. He came into the services of Spring Meadow Resources in 1975, as well as Parkside Prevocational. In 1985 he began work at the Farm in the Dell. Tony loved going to work on the farm. He also loved the Lord and was strong in his belief in Jesus. He would get upset when he could not make it to church, like when there was no bus because of bad weather. Tony was always the first to lend a helping hand to someone who needed it. Tony loved everyone, and they were his friends- loving him right back. He was a loving brother and family was very important to him. He thought it was wonderful when the staff would bring in their dog or kids to visit. He would always say that the visitor was his, as he so enjoyed children and animals.

He will be missed in many ways by many people. He will be fondly remembered for his determination, his sense of humor, his kindness, and his moxie.

Services will be held Monday, October 27, 2014 at Spring Meadow Resources, 2850 Broadwater, Helena, MT 59601. Please stay and enjoy a luncheon following the service. Please visit below to offer the family a condolence or to share a memory of Tony.
