I will not forget you, my friend, no matter how long I am to this day, my heart cries for your separation
Tiny, I just can't believe life had taken it's path this way. You are so loved and I wish I had you here to see the rest of how our lives would play out. You were the ultimate best friend, the best protector, the best co worker, and even more than someone could ask for. My heart is just in pieces thinking about how much I could say about you. I adore you so much. Rest in peace Tiny ❤️
This picture was taken in June 1996 at the Olympic Team Trials for Track and Field in Atlanta, GA. Anthony attended the event with another Ooltewah High teammate, my parents, and I. He was an incredible athlete who excelled in the decathlon because he was so talented in different events! I was proud to have coached him. Anthony worked hard at his school work too. It was a tremendous honor to see him earn a scholarship to the University of Tennessee at Knoxville and to run on the track team there.
Family always came first for Anthony. I know he loved his son because I witnessed his love for his mother and father and siblings. I look forward to seeing him run those heavenly hurdles and sitting with him at the feet of Jesus.

Anthony was a ray of sunshine. He was a joy to our family. I loved his smile and his giving heart. RIP Ant
Anthony I remember the first day we met was at Best Buy. You had me laughing how you would save money in a crown royal bag. You told me that was your saving account smh.That moment on we talked like we was siblings. You was my big brother. Even after you left best buy I would still stay in touch with you because that's what family do. You would come and get plates from my house or my mama's.You will always be my family. I would never question God. But he knows when it's time to remove his angel off of Earth,because you have served you purpose here in this world. It was your time. You have left your mark. Your gone but never forgotten. I love you Big bro😔❤️!
I will never forget your big smile or the big bear hugs you would give me every time we saw each other. You were more then a coworker or a friend, you were my brother. I will always hold a special place in my heart for you, Tiny❤️ Until we meet again, Rest In Peace.
