Obituary of Anthony Raymond Eiden

Anthony (Tony) Raymond Eiden

Tony was born on June 6, 1973, lived a life where he loved and was loved by friends and family, and died tragically on April 27, 2024.

Tony grew up and spent most of his life in North St. Paul, Minnesota. As a child he played football, baseball, and hockey. Picked up his first guitar during the junior high/high school years and joined rock and roll bands comprised of lifelong friends. Tony married a true saint and the love of his life Kim on May 13, 2006. He became dad to Anthony and has beamed with pride over his grandchildren since the day they were born. He tried his hand at several trades, finally landing in the field of concrete masonry. He loved his dogs, riding his motorcycle, and watching sports to a level that perplexed some, humored others, and for which many events would need to be planned around. Tony made, kept, and continued to add friends that he considered his “brothers” throughout the course of his life. To him, his family members were his friends, and his friends were his family, which made him a “brother” to all.

Tony is survived by his wife Kim who adored him, son Anthony Inda (Nicole), grandchildren Mason and Ariella, mom Mary Jo, dad Ron (Delores), mother-in-law Cris (Kittleson), sister Michelle (Bruce Yurich), sisters-in-law Kelly (Todd Anderson) and Jolene (Earl Riley) nieces Madison, Megan, Miura, Jaslin, Keiara, Alexis, and Grace and nephews Gavin, Dalon, Matthew and Grant, many aunts, uncles, cousins, his 80hD bandmates and fans, and a truly countless number of friends.

He is proceeded in death by his grandparents Nels and Henrietta (Mortenson) and Larry and Mary (Eiden), father-in-law Ben (Kittleson), uncles Mike (Hanson) and Gordy (Scholzen), aunt Karen (Mortenson), cousin Ashley (Frederick), and his friends Jay and Jason, as well as other friends that were there to greet him in heaven.
