Support Ericka, Ella, & Antonio After Tragic Loss of Anthony
Donation protected
On March 26, 2025, Anthony Braca’s life was unexpectedly and tragically cut short, leaving behind countless family and friends. Most importantly, he leaves his two cherished children, Arabella (Ella) and Antonio, and his beloved wife, Ericka.
Anthony was an extraordinary person with a standout personality that instantly put everyone at ease. Being around Anthony felt like reconnecting with an old friend, even if you just met him. His infectious laugh and radiant energy had a way of lighting up every room he entered. Anthony had a rare gift for making everyone feel valued, ensuring they knew just how much they mattered to him.
In the wake of this devastating loss, Ericka now faces the challenge of moving forward without her husband. To know Ericka is to love her, and those fortunate enough to call her a friend are undeniably blessed. She embodies selflessness, never hesitating to go the extra mile (literally and figuratively). She has been known to travel hours on little sleep just to brighten someone’s day. Her magnetic charisma, sharp wit, and remarkable ability to turn tears into laughter make her truly unique. Above all, she is a devoted and passionate mother, pouring her whole heart into fiercely loving and raising her children.
As Ericka navigates this heartbreaking chapter, she needs the support of those around her, both spiritually and financially. This is an opportunity for all of us to give back to someone who has always given so much of herself to others. Financial contributions will assist with covering medical expenses, funeral and burial costs, educational and camp fees for the children, and other essentials needed to support daily living. By coming together to lift up Ericka and her children, we can honor Anthony’s memory and help sustain the love and strength he brought into their lives.
