Remembering Tony Bliss, dedicated local volunteer Tony Bliss Advertisement MADISON HEIGHTS — As the Madison Heights community mourns the unexpected passing of long-time volunteer Tony Bliss, they are also celebrating his life of service to others. According to his son, Madison Heights City Councilman Mark Bliss, Tony Bliss died of a sudden heart attack May 19. “He had just gotten over COVID the month prior, so the belief is that the ‘after-COVID’ complications likely played a role, as he was only 60 years old, with no known history of heart issues,” Mark Bliss said in an email. But while his passing was sudden, people won’t soon forget the legacy of Tony Bliss.
