Anthony loved to hunt and fish, especially deep-sea fishing and time spent on the boat. The mountains were close to his heart, particularly Boone, where he enjoyed their beauty and calm. Anthony was a musician who loved to play instruments, sing, and get lost in the rhythm. He also enjoyed grilling out with family and friends, sharing meals, laughter, and fellowship. Being outdoors was his favorite pastime and a place where he found joy and peace.
Anthony will be remembered for his love of music, free spirit, love of nature and his love for adventure.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Howard-Carter Funeral Home at 1608 W. Vernon Ave., Kinston, NC.
