Tony Elbert Bass
March 27, 1959 ? March 04, 2022
Tony Elbert Bass, Sr., age 62, entered into God?s eternal care on March 4, 2022. His parents, Ethel Dameron Bass and the late Mitchell Bass, Sr., gave birth to him on March 27, 1959.
Tony graduated from Catholic Central High School. He attended Jefferson Technical College, Gateway Technical College, and Triangle Technical Institute. Tony began his career as an Apprentice Pipefitter on March 7, 1979, and retired as a journeyman pipefitter from Plumber and Pipefitters Local #495. He later worked at Newport News Shipbuilding and then owned and operated JM Bass & Sons Contracting business for several years.
Tony married his high school sweetheart, Janie Strong, on July 3, 1982. The Lord blessed their union with three (3) sons, Tony Bass, Jr. (Dawn) of Steubenville, OH, James Bass of Providence, RI, and Tyler Bass (Randisha) of Reynoldsburg, OH.
Tony recently relocated to Newnan, GA, and joined Saint Smyrna Baptist Church, Newnan, GA. God loves a cheerful giver, and Tony had the most beautiful, loving, and giving spirit that blessed everyone who knew him. He gave his time, labor, property, and money to others in need. His giving spirit will remain an inspiration for all.
Tony treasured his family and friends and his time together with them. His greatest delight was bringing joy and happiness to others. Tony had a larger-than-life presence and will be missed by so many.
Tony was an avid fan of Catholic Central High School, The Ohio State University, and Pittsburgh Steelers football teams. When Tony was not watching football, Tony enjoyed playing chess. He played several matches with those he deemed a novice, including his daughter-in-law, Randi, his close friend, Willie, and in these later months, his brother-in-law, Stefan. If not playing chess, Tony loved a good game of scrabble with his mother and sister, who are not a novice at the game.
Tony is survived by his three sons, and three grandchildren, Davon, Rylee, and Janie. He is also survived by his beloved mother, Ethel Bass, his siblings, Michael (Patrice) Christian of Pickerington, OH, Kareena Ashby of Newnan, GA, Allura (Stefan) Hargrove of Newnan, GA, and Attorney Meeta Bass of Reynoldsburg, OH. He leaves his devoted fiancé, Doris Guilford, to cherish his memory. Tony was a constant presence in the lives of his many nieces, nephews, and godson, Cameron Bass, who will also cherish his memory.
Tony was preceded in death by his wife and father, his siblings, Mitchell Bass, Jr., Diana Wilson, Cynthia and Crystal Bass, and a nephew, Robert Ali Bass.
