1970-2017
Anthony David "Tony" Blue – 47, of New Minas, passed away Thursday, February 2, 2017 in the QEII Health Sciences Centre, Halifax. Born in Halifax, he was a son of Wendy Dorothy (Little) Blue, Hantsport and the late Alexander David "Dave" Blue. In his younger years, Tony took great pride in playing basketball and soccer, playing for the Hantsport Hawks up until the time he graduated and attended Horton District High School. He then played soccer for the Horton Griffins for a year before going to UCCB and playing for them. He played many sports up until his children came along. They are quite possibly his greatest achievement. He was so proud of them as they grew up into two amazing young adults. In recent years, Tony got back into soccer, playing with Paddy’s Pub Soccer Club and renewing old friendships and making new ones. He also enjoyed, throughout the years, playing softball with the Webster’s Misfits and making friendships on that team to last a lifetime. He had been employed as a Produce Specialist with Sobeys Inc. in Windsor prior to working with Crown Fibre Tube, Kentville. In addition to his mother, left behind to grieve are his common-law wife, Michelle Selby, New Minas; his son, Ethan, Grande Prairie, AB; his daughter, Jesse, Windsor; his twin sister, Anna, Ottawa; his brother, Scott (Angie), Halifax; his sister-in-law, Tammy Blue, Middleton; four nieces and nephews, Rebecca and Eric Cochrane, Chloe and Caleb Blue.
