Support for Anthoni Payne's Memorial and Family

Our beloved Anthoni Lawrence Payne recently passed on 11/25/2024. Although Anthoni was only 22 (23 on Dec 31st), he was a wonderful father, fiancé, son, brother & friend, who touched the lives of those around him. He leaves behind his loving fiancé Nadia Montano & his pride and joy; his 11 month old son Jereamiah Payne.

Anthoni was proud of being a father & was passionate about cooking. Although life dealt him a hard start, which led him to drug use, he worked very hard to achieve sobriety. He was a hard working young man, who was taking steps in becoming a chef, while supporting his family financially. His goal was to provide a home for himself & his family as the sole breadwinner, however, he was taken from this earth much too soon to accomplish this. Anthoni was incredibly loving & had an infectious smile. He loved to make everyone laugh, feel good & feel important.

Anthoni was an amazing father. As a young father, in the beginning, he was so nervous to be a dad, but it didn’t take long for him to find his comfort in fatherhood & from that point on, his love & dedication to his son was the most important thing to him, & he lived every moment showering him with love & affection.

We are all devastated by the sudden loss of Anthoni, which is emotionally & financially difficult during this time. Especially because of the Holiday’s, Jereamiah’s upcoming first birthday, Anthoni’s upcoming 23rd birthday, & the cost of having him cremated and holding a celebration of life.

We want to give Anthoni the memorial he deserves to honor his memory and say our last goodbyes. We would also like to raise funds to help support his grieving fiance & their son, until they can get on their feet, being that he was the sole breadwinner.

We are currently asking for donations to help cover the cost of Anthoni’s cremation, celebration of life service, & to help support his family while they recover from their loss & get back on their feet. Please consider donating, as any amount will truly help and be greatly appreciated by his family during this difficult time.

Thank you so much and have a wonderful day.
