When given direction on how to do things, Anthony chose to do it his way. He gave his projects little twists and turns that would suit him. Anthony was independent in that aspect. When he discovered music, those feet would start moving and boy could he twerk. In his teen years he took side jobs and was a hard worker. Later in life his interests turned to cooking and that was something that he loved to do as he had a passion for it. His passion for cooking and creating delicious dishes was a daily pleasure of his which led to his career as a chef.
His true passion was for the woman that he loved more than anyone or anything. Rachel was his whole heart and his everything. His life and purpose revolved around the love of his life, his fiance, Rachel.His childhood enjoyment and interests continued through his adult years as he loved the Ghostbuster movie and his hero was the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. On a recent trip to New York, he visited the firehouse where the movie was made and was ecstatic. Simple pleasures were what made him genuine and charismatic.Anthony always lit up any room he entered with his smile, his laugh, his crazy antics and personality. You'd never not see a smile on his face. He was a beautiful man inside and out and had a heart of gold in which he would do anything for the ones he loved. He had a great love for his family and deeply enjoyed the presence of his niece and nephew.Anthony truly was one of a kind and made anyone around him feel loved and appreciated. His true gift was making others smile. He was creative and passionate about his career and life, and wanted nothing but the best for his family and loved ones in his life.Relatives and friends are asked to attend his visitation on Saturday, March 26, 2022 at John F.
