Our community is heartbroken by the tragic and unexpected loss of Anthony on Wednesday, June 24th. In an instant, his wife, Robin, was faced with the unimaginable reality of losing her spouse while also helping their 12-year-old daughter navigate the loss of her father.
Anthony was a dedicated member of our community who touched countless lives. He spent many years serving as a wrestling coach in both Woodland and Davis, mentoring and encouraging young athletes both on and off the mat. Anthony also proudly served our country as a Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps. His commitment to service, leadership, and helping others was evident in everything he did, and his loss is being felt deeply throughout our community.
Together, Robin and Anthony recently fulfilled a lifelong dream by opening The Brainery Bricks, a business dedicated to creating a safe, welcoming space for neurodivergent individuals. Their vision was to build a place where people could feel accepted, comfortable, and truly be themselves. It was a dream they poured their hearts into, and one that quickly became a meaningful part of our community.
As Robin and her daughter begin the difficult journey of grieving and rebuilding their lives, we are asking our community to come together and support them during this incredibly challenging time.
All funds raised will go directly to Robin to help ease the financial burden of funeral expenses, household bills, business obligations, and other unexpected costs that come with such a devastating loss. Most importantly, these funds will give Robin and her daughter the time and space they need to grieve, heal, and determine what the next chapter of their lives will look like while continuing the dream that she and Anthony built together.
If you are able, please consider donating. No amount is too small, and every contribution will make a meaningful difference. If you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser and keeping Robin and her daughter in your thoughts and prayers is equally appreciated.
Thank you for helping us surround this family with the love, compassion, and support they need right now. Together, we can help carry some of the weight during this unimaginable time and remind Robin and her daughter that they are not facing it alone.
