Minot

Anthony “Tony” Scott Thorson, 57, Minot, ND, passed away unexpectedly Sunday, July 21, 2024, in his home.

Tony was born July 25, 1966, the son of Allen and Mary Ann (Raulston) Thorson, in Williston, ND. He started school in Williston. He then attended school in Noonan, Crosby, and Minot, graduating from Minot High School. Tony was confirmed at Zion Lutheran Church, Minot.

Following high school, Tony loved to travel and lived in Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota, until he settled back in Minot. He had a love for cars and music! He spent many hours in the garage doodling notes on his favorite songs, making “to do” lists, and screenshotting cars and sending them to Cory. He enjoyed spending time with family and going to the lake for get-togethers. He liked to reminisce about his childhood days spent in Green Acres and he had an amazing recollection of many events! Some of which included mischievous events.

Tony worked in many different occupations, most recently at Loaf and Jug and Marketplace in customer service.

Tony was an incredibly caring person. He made it a point to check on people and see if they needed anything. He was always willing to provide for others, even if it meant he had to go without.
