Anthony worked for Kikstart nonprofit organization from its inception in the Birmingham area until his transition. As a member of the Kikstart team it gave him great joy to provide meals to the children in the local community. Anthony would some time give the children extra meals if he felt they may not have food available for that night.  A man with a heart for the children. As the parking lot attendant for the St. James Baptist Christian Center, you never had to worry about getting your car stuck or hit with him overseeing the parking.  As the church custodian he ensured every space in the church was extra clean. You knew Anthony had cleaned the church based on the overwhelming aroma of bleach and fabuloso.

Anthony was an avid dog lover and breeder. The best part of his day was making sure his dogs were well fed, rested, cared for, active, and socialized. He had such an eye for different breeds of dogs that he could name them by mere sight. In his spare time, he delighted in helping his cousin Traci are a farmer. Besides being an awesome employee, dog lover and part-time farmer he was a loyal and dependable father, son, brother, uncle, friend and soon to be grandfather.
