It is with heavy hearts the Herback family shares the passing of their loving father, grandfather, great-grandfather and brother. After a brief but courageous battle with cancer Tony left this world on Friday, December 12, 2025 at the age of 91.

The family had the opportunity to celebrate his birthday on November 1. He left his life as he lived it - on his own terms. Anyone who knew Tony understood baseball was his passion. He could often be found amongst a crowd of people telling his new favourite joke with a grin on his face and a sparkle in his eye. He was a humble, hardworking man who provided for his wife and seven kids through his plumbing business for over 50 years which he was so proud of. As hard as he worked a summer holiday was always planned. This always included camping with friends and family and, of course, baseball.

Tony was predeceased by his wife and the love of his life Gil; his parents George and Vera Herback; his brother Luke and his sister Emma. He is survived by his children Marty (Shannon), Jeff (Diane), Terry (Sherry), Dan (Kathy), Cheryl (Rocco), Shelley, Trevor (Tanya); 15 grandchildren; 11 great-grandchildren; his brothers Larry, Lorne, Albert and Aloise; and friend Wilma Kinney.

Tony’s family would like to especially thank the Palliative Care Staff at the Regina Pasqua Hospital for the care, compassion and grace shown to our Dad.

There will be no funeral service and the family will hold a graveside service in the Spring of 2026. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to NRLL (North Regina Little League) where Tony coached for 22 years, #250 - 918 Albert Street, Regina, SK S4R 2P7.
