To my dear Anthony,
I have been procrastinating for days on writing this, like maybe if I waited, somehow it would change the reality.
I too, like many have so many fond memories of you!!! Like banging on pots and pans singing, squirting you with water in the morning in your room to get you to wake up for school and boy did you love that! Playing mortal combat, going thrift shopping, cleaning and organizing your room (which you promised to keep up with and never did), your great baking skills, going to car washes, road trips, holidays and so many more things. We may not have been related by blood but I always considered you my son!!! I will miss you deary. I am forever greatful for the time we had and the part that you played in all of our lives!! Until we meet again my dear watch over us all.
Love always,
Andrea Banks

My favorite memory of Anthony is when he came over to visit and play with his cousin Faith. He loved to jump on the trampoline for hours...I mean hours..I would have to be the "popcorn" on the trampoline they tried to pop for hours. Anthony enjoyed riding the motorized cars around the driveway racing his cousin. But his favorite was going for atv rides. They always had the best times playing together; those are my best memories. Aunt Sheri and Faith send all our love and prayers!

Sorry Ant,
Even in the after life you have to hear from me more than ever. But I have more pictures I want to include. Also some of Luca so you can see how big and beautiful he is getting. He loves you and he’ll never forget you.

Ant,
I am not really sure what to say because there are so many amazing things that you will be remembered by. You made me laugh more than anyone and that is something I will never forget. We had our ups and downs, but you were a shining light in my life and you still are. No matter what you were going through you were always there for me when I needed you. I will never ever forget you and the amazing things you did for me. You helped me through so much and that will last a life time whether you are here or not. I finally get to get it in first, but I love you most. I hope that there are lots of chicken wings and tons of pizza wherever you are now. And I hope more than anything that you are with me or at least watching over me.
Jordy

Today we gather to honor the life of my first love, my first baby, the one I grew up with, my beautiful son. Anthony was many things, loving, nurturing, athletic, he was artistic, he loved basketball, gaming, music, and his family. Anthony was a force to be reckoned with.
Anthony loved fiercely! If you were his friend, it was for life. If you didn’t know him, you were missing out.
Anthony was wise beyond his years. His laughter and sense of humor brought joy into all of our lives. His wisdom will forever echo in our hearts.
He would always say, “Mama, don’t stress this life it isn’t real.” He would talk about angels and tell me that Kane and I were going to be ok like he could see the future. To be honest, at times I would think he was crazy, but looking back on everything, he was preparing me for now. I just hope he knows he was my angel here on earth.
He showed us so much love even though he was hurting. Sometimes he would let us see his hurt, but never to the depths he felt.
I truly do not know yet the final moments of Anthony's life that night, the thoughts, feelings he felt, his last words, or what truly happened. I pray that the truth will prevail, that I will have answers and closure on losing my son before his time and that justice for his life will be served.
This may be a difficult subject for some, but one that needs to be addressed. Keeping silent would mean Anthonys' passing was in vain. I hope I can touch at least one person’s heart today through Anthonys. I am NOT afraid to say that my son had struggles or that he dabbled with drugs. My son was human, and I will continue to stand for him proudly. If anyone can take something from this tragic loss, know that good people hurt, pain is real, don’t hold things inside or try to self-medicate, and reach out and accept help.
To the outsiders looking in, I pray that you never have to experience these struggles as a parent, friend, co-worker, or family member. If someone you love is doing drugs, do not enable them, and do not shame them. We may not understand the pain and struggles or the loneliness, but never stop loving them and recognize the battle your loved one fought against and encourage them to fight every day. I encourage those to become familiar with life-saving measures such as CPR and have Narcan available if your friend or family member struggles with addiction.
I know I must trust in God’s plan, and I know you are finally at peace. I am trying to take comfort in that. I just wish I could hug you one more time, tell you I love you one more time, and make plans one more time. Kane loved his “Brudder” so much and looked up to you. He cherished every moment he was able to spend with you. He never wanted you to leave. Please watch over him and help guide him through life. I am proud of you Ant and I hope you know how much I truly love you. I need you to guide me until we meet again.

We did our best . We were blessed to have you an angel in our lives, you gave us strength in our weakness. Always telling us everything gonna be alright, calm down, relax. You were our rock that stands upon the foundation of our minds and hearts. Here my call when I arrive at Heaven's door and lead me so we can walk with thee. Love you always. Papa and Grandma

Anthony my sweet boy,
My first Grandchild, I was blessed to have you even if it was only for a short time. I was there when you took your first breath and wish that one of our family could have been with you at your last, It wasn't meant to be. I pray that you are at peace now .No more struggles or pain. I know it was difficult for you and must have been to much to bear. I will miss our beach trips to look for sea glass ,thrift store shopping ,trips to appointments along with our weekly travels together.I am lost without daily text or visits from you. No more hearing love you more. I will have the memories of these special times, among the others.Although memories seem not enough. You were so loved,and touched so many in your life.I will take good care of Pooka and Taz, and Grace and Laura will take good care of Preston. I am sure the Angels were waiting for you with open arms as well as the Lord. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16. This is not goodbye, May you be at peace until we are reunited again. Love you more. Grandma

Anthony was the best cousin I could’ve asked for growing up, being the only child he was like the brother I wish I had. I’ve been told by many people that me and him were each other’s partners in crime, now looking back on it I see what they mean. It seemed as though we were never far from each other and spent most of our times together, even if I did annoy him most of the time. Although I may not remember everything from when we were younger, I know our time together will forever live on through our memories and pictures taken over the years. I didn’t plan on living the rest of my live without him, I thought we’d be able to reminisce on the past with each other and see each other grow up and get married.
I miss you Anthony, I didn’t think that this day would ever come but yet it has. Thank you for being apart of my life, and making such a big impact in it. I love you.

Anthony,
My first love, my first baby, the one I grew up with. Kane and I miss you like crazy down here, already. Learning how to live without you is difficult. Most of the time I feel like my heart is being ripped out and I cannot breathe. I wanted and hoped more for you in life. My heart breaks to know I will not be able to see you in the physical, hear your voice or watch you grow up, get married, raise a family or pursue your dreams. I read many of the songs you wrote and I am quite proud, you always told me you would make it big and I wouldn't have to worry about a thing.
You were the best big brother ever! You were always good with kids, you would of made a great dad! I will miss you calling me Christina Bobina, and I will miss your sense of humor. You always made others feel good about themselves despite how you felt inside. I will miss your pep talks telling me "don't worry mama, everything will be all right".
I know I must trust God's plan and I know you are finally at peace. I am trying to take comfort in that. Kane and I love you forever! Keep sending me signs to let me know you are close. Until we are reunited again!
Love,
Mama & Kane

Anthony, I didn't get to meet until 2009. I can't remember a time you were shy but do remember you being able to light up a room and make everyone laugh and smile.
I remember one weekend we took you to the mud races. At first you were watching from afar and then you got closer and closer to the fence. Soon you were so splashed with mud like the rest of the kids. You really had a blast. Then on to Poags Hill, hill climb. We thought you would really like that but you didn't, so we
left. We ended up the weekend at the Silo in Lewiston for dinner. I think you drank more than you ate. You mixed every flavor drink
available in the same glass. You told us how good it was. We laughed! Of course you saved room for ice cream!
Anthony, the times I was able to spend with you, I knew you were so special and such a kind and caring soul. I am so fortunate you allowed me to be a small part of your short life. Anthony, you were loved and will always be missed.
Rest in peace Anthony.

I remember when Anthony got his bb gun. It was a rifle. He brought it over to the house one day. We looked it over and got it ready to be fired. I showed him the basics of shooting that gun. We set up some targets and plastic bottles to shoot at. Anthony shot at the plastic bottles a few times but missed them. I tried the gun and I couldn't hit anything. I then shot a little to one side of the bottle and I hit it. That was the trick to hitting the target. Then Ant tried and he had success. He hit the bottles! He had targets too but the bottles worked the best. He improved in shooting each time he came over. Together, we figured out how to hit those bottles with the gun.
I also remember when we had the pool. Anthony was like a fish in the water. We had water gun fights and had so much fun. It was a Father's day to remember. I can still see him in the pool to this day. I'm grateful to have these precious memories and others as well as pictures of my special Grandson who will never be forgotten.
Then there was that big bon fire two summers ago. That was the biggest fire I ever made. Anthony and the whole family were there to see it. Thankfully the fire department didn't show up!
My Grandson Anthony, was taken from us way too soon. I will miss him more than anyone knows. I had so many things to tell him and to teach him. We will never know what Anthony would have become but I know one thing....I will always love him.
Papa Dude

Anthony always knew how to make someone laugh with his quick witted remarks. I will forever remember the times we shared from north park to senior year, some days when I could not handle life anymore he was the only one there. He was a true, amazing friend and deserved so much more. He will be dearly missed

My sweet nephew,
I don't even know where to begin. You are loved more then you could ever realize! You will always be the little boy who made me an Aunt.
You never said you're leaving
You never said goodbye
You were gone before I knew it,
And only God knew why.
Give Gigi, Sadie and all our loved ones up there a hug and kiss from us down here.
Rest in peace. We all will reunite again one day. I love you
