In Memory of Anthony Rudnick

Anthony was murdered when he was shot in front of his home Sunday night. He leaves behind his mother, sister, brother, and many family and friends. Anthony did not deserve to be taken from us like this. He was fighting so many battles and against so many odds, and was a good person who was deeply deeply loved.
To those of you who might know something, any little thing that could help bring justice to his family, please do the right thing and reach out to Lakewood police. His family deserves answers.
To every one of you who have called, texted, prayed, come by, and offered support thank you so so so much for everything. I am hoping to raise some money for Anthony’s family so they can grieve in their own time. Any love or prayers is also so very much appreciated. I have set up an email address to send to Courtney and Julie any pictures, memories, and thoughts about Anthony that you would like to share.

For Anthony, who was taken from us too soon;
You have taught us about chasing our dreams and following our hearts, like living on the beach because it calls to you. You have taught us about having a huge hearts, about being a good person and about loving so fiercely that even snoopy was well cared for. You have taught us about perseverance by the way you never let your addictions make you quit, by the way you never gave up when the odds stacked against you. You gave us joy with your smile, your sense of humor, your intelligence and quick mind. You taught us patience by never letting anyone hurry you along and strength by never letting anyone push you around.
You were taken much to soon and we will never forget you, will always miss you, will forever hold in each our hearts a space for you that will never be filled. We are heartbroken that you were stolen from us before your time. We will never be the same without you
