Disabled Vet killed in fire-Charlotte, NC

Hi, my name is Janga Anthony and I am assisting the family during this time of grief.

A house fire on Eastbrook Road in Charlotte Monday night claimed the life of a disabled veteran. Todd Anthony was a proud Marine who suffered from Parkinson’s Disease and was confined to a wheelchair. He died at the top of the stairs because he couldn’t walk. 

Charlotte Fire responded to the home just before midnight on Monday. There were a total of 8 people inside the home at the time. Three of them were taken to the hospital including Todd Anthony’s nephew, who tried to save him but was overcome with smoke. 

A GoFundMe has been set up to help family recover from their loss.
