Tony Larkins, 54

Tony Lee Larkins passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, Dec. 16, 2018. Tony was born Oct. 31, 1964, in San Pablo, Calif., but spent the majority of his life in Redding, Calif., and in North Idaho.

Tony was a devoted son, brother and friend, but the joy of his life came from being a father and grandfather. He loved riding his Harley with his friends and spending time with his kids and grandkids, and he recently found romantic love again. He was known for always having a smile on his face, his silly antics and jokes and his caring and generous nature.

Tony is survived by his children, Nichole Zahnow and her husband, Matt, of Athol, Idaho, Katie Larkins of Abu Dhabi, UAE, and Tyler Larkins of Redding. He is also survived by his grandchildren, Owen and Leah; his parents, Bob and Doreen Larkins of Anderson, Calif.; his sister, Sally Freeman of Sacramento, Calif., and his brother, Scott Larkins of Medford, Ore. He joins his son, Brandon, in heaven, who he loved and missed dearly.

A celebration of Tony’s life will be held at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 29, 2018, at Mountain View Bible Church, 3974 N. Chase Road, Post Falls, ID 83854.

Yates Funeral Homes has been entrusted with the care of final arrangements.
