But Anthony’s greatest love was his family. He was an adoring father to Andre and Roman, and he found immense joy in spending time with them. Whether it was hitting the gym, playing video games, or sharing a good laugh, Anthony treasured the moments spent with his sons. He was also known for his unique sense of humor, which brought laughter and light to every room he entered.
