Supporting Ant and his family

Donation protected
It is with shattered hearts that we share the passing of our beloved Anthony—affectionately known as Antman or Ant—who left this world far too soon on Friday. At just 5 years old, Anthony touched the lives of so many with his courage, kindness, and radiant smile.
In September 2023, Anthony was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), a rare and aggressive form of cancer affecting the blood and bone marrow. From that moment forward, Anthony faced every challenge with the heart of a warrior. He endured multiple rounds of chemotherapy and bravely underwent a bone marrow transplant. Despite countless hospital stays, needle pokes, and procedures, he never lost his sweet nature. Anthony always thanked the nurses, doctors, and medical staff who cared for him.
Anthony will forever be remembered for his infectious laugh, his gentle spirit, and the deep love he had for his family. He was an amazing big brother, a loving son, and a true fighter. Though he didn’t win this battle, he gave cancer one hell of a fight.
Anthony leaves behind his loving, devoted, and strong mother and father, Shonda and Craig, and his two precious little sisters, Aaliyah (3) and Avani (1), who adored their big brother as well as many friends and other family members who loved him dearly. His absence leaves an unimaginable void in their lives.
We are not sure how we will ever move forward without him and as we grieve this unimaginable loss, we are asking for your support to help Anthony’s family during this difficult time. Funds raised will go directly toward funeral expenses, medical bills, and to provide the family with the time and space they need to begin healing without the added burden of financial stress.
Please consider donating or sharing this fundraiser. Every little bit helps, and we are so grateful for the outpouring of love and support.
Anthony may be gone, but his light and legacy will never fade.
Fly so high sweet boy. We will love you forever and ever.
