Anthony was always a good friend!
I don’t even know where to start..
Anthony was the most outgoing, hilarious, kindhearted guy I ever met. He always kept you laughing and smiling. He was such a loving friend. My son, Tristan loved him and Anthony loved him. He game to his games, took him shoe shopping and would throw the football with him. He started my sons sneaker obsession and we all know how Anthony was with his shoes lol. He was always so kind to me and made me feel good about myself. I’m going to miss his laugh and asking how I am and saying “no I’m Goode how are you”. I have so many memories with Anthony and life won’t be the same without him. Praying for his family ❤️❤️
I can’t find the words to say. Iam so deeply sorry carolyn,kim and Kellie and to all the family my thoughts and prayer are with you all. Dinah,justin,claudia,
Tinley and Tucker Norman.
This doesn’t seem real. Heaven must have needed you more than we did down here.. Keep us safe & fly high brother. Rest in paradise, I’ll come visit & have a chat.
I worked at Verizon with Anthony. Even tho we worked from home we were still close good friends. We were on the same team a couple times as well! Anthony was amazing at sales! He always did more then me and I would ask him to teach me his ways! He has been taken way to soon and my heart is with the family.
Imma miss you homie, you were like a brother to me. We shared some great times. I’ll never forget your bruh rest easy. 💙
Anthony you could always light up a room with your humor and conversation. You were loved by so many and will be greatly missed.

Wow don’t even know where to start. I think one of my favorite memories of Anthony was when neither one of us had valentines so we said screw it let’s go out to eat together lol I was low key disappointed because he didn’t take me to Jackson’s steakhouse but we managed to hit one of our favorites which was cactus cantina. Anthony always kept me smiling. The dudes sense of humor was golden and his heart was bigger than most. He was a friend who would stand by me through whatever and he knew I would do the same for him. I’m going to miss our hour long phone calls just shootin the shit.
