It is with broken hearts that we share the devastating news of the sudden passing of Anthony, a bright and kind-hearted 16-year-old from Rock Island. On June 20, 2025, Anthony’s life was tragically cut short due to a severe asthma attack.

Anthony was so much more than just a teenager—he was a son, a friend, a classmate, and a young man full of potential and promise. He had a gentle soul, a big heart, and a smile that could light up any room. Whether he was spending time with friends, helping his family, or just being his kind, goofy self, Anthony brought joy to everyone who knew him.

His sudden passing has left his loved ones in deep shock and grief. No family is ever prepared to lose their child, especially not in such an unexpected and heartbreaking way.

We are raising funds to help support Anthony’s mom, Angela, with funeral expenses and memorial arrangements during this incredibly difficult time. No one is ever prepared for something like this and she needs our support now, more than ever. Services will be announced soon.

Any donation—big or small—will go directly toward helping his family give Anthony the love-filled farewell he deserves.

If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this page and keeping Anthony’s family in your thoughts and prayers. Your support, kindness, and compassion mean more than words can say.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
