Anthony Souchek

Anthony "Tony" Souchek, 74, of Atwood, died Sunday, April 21, 2019 at Hays Medical Center. He was born March 31, 1945 in Stratton, Nebraska to Henry and Frances (Horinek) Souchek.

He was preceded in death by his parents; brother Gery Lee in 1966, and beloved partner Charlotte Findlay in 2006.

He is survived by his children, Jennifer, Decatur, TX and Jeremy (Jill), Fort Worth, TX; one grandchild, Mackenzie; his sisters, Marguerite Ward (Bob), Perth, Australia & Frances Ann Souchek, Colorado Springs, CO and brothers, Leonard Souchek (Doris), Payallup, WA, Marvin Souchek (Anne), Lincoln, NE and JD Souchek (Giovanna), Gainesville, VA.

Tony was disabled at barely 3 yrs of age, due to a farm accident, but this did not hinder him enjoying his life. Tony endured many surgeries on the growing lower leg bone in his formative years. Between surgeries and the healing process Tony was still able to help on the farm.

While the disability had its limitations, it did not stop him from activities like tubing down a mountain stream.
Tony spent years in the oil fields in Oklahoma, Louisiana and over 20 years in Northern Africa.
Golf, watching and especially playing, became his hobby. He played courses in Scotland, England, Spain and the States. Tony returned to Atwood in 2007 and joined the Country Club. He spent many happy days on the course and fun-filled nights with his friends at the clubhouse. Tony and Charlotte also enjoyed traveling the world and spent many years doing so.

Visitation will be 5:00 - 7:00 p.m. Tuesday, April 30, 2019, at Baalmann Mortuary, Atwood, with a Vigil at 7:00 p.m. A Funeral Service will be at 10:00 a.m. Wednesday, May 1, 2019, at Baalmann Mortuary, Atwood, with a private family burial to follow in Mt.
