He is survived by his wife Lily, children; Evelyn Douglas (Ron), David (Victoria), Tony (Christine), Mark and many grandchildren and great grandchildren.

He is predeceased by his parents Illija & Eva Doknjaš and children, Stan Doknjaš and Daniel Rajala.

Tony left Croatia at the young age of 17 under wartime conditions and started a new life in Ontario, Canada. There he met his wife Lily and had 5 out of their 7 children. They eventually traveled west for greener pastures and settled in Campbell River where the last 2 of their children were born.

He leaves behind his loving family, and many hunting and fishing stories.

Rest in Peace.
