He leaves behind 3 granddaughters, Jaenelle, Aerith and Whitley, that he absolutely adored. He also leaves behind many aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews that loved him very much. Anthony was an amazing, loving father that left behind 9 children. He loved and cherished his kids dearly and they loved him just as much in return. He will be missed by them for eternity.
He worked in floor covering for many years but his true passion was cooking. He loved family and enjoyed spending time with them, he loved music and sang Metal Music when he was younger. Some of his favorite hobbies included making hand carved and chiseled arrow heads, cooking anytime he had the opportunity and also working on all of the little mini projects he had going on in his garage. Anthony was always a caring and giving person, he would give someone the shirt off his back if they needed it, he would figure out a way to help in most situations because that was the type of man he was. Anthony gave the ultimate gift of life through his organ donations. His legacy of love, generosity, caring for others and always helping out will now live on, not only in the hearts of all the recipients that he helped but also in the families of those recipients and the lives he has touched.
He will be cherished by all that had the pleasure of knowing him and his love will live on in our hearts and memory.
