Memorial for Anthony Brown

Our beloved Anthony was taken too soon from us at only 24 years old, when he was struck by a car crossing Venice Blvd. early Thursday morning. Anthony was born in Northridge, CA on April 8th, 1992, and was raised in Granada Hills, CA by his mother, Christina Martinez, and his step-father, Danny Martinez, along with his younger siblings Racquel and Daniel Martinez. In his late teens, he moved to Venice with his father, Anthony Brown, and his brother, Michael Brown. At Venice beach, he was truly at home and at peace. He lived his life as a free spirit with an open mind. He loved the outdoors and felt deeply rooted to the Earth, never caring for materialistic items. He was artistic in the way he loved to make music and write poetry, and he was genuine in the way he made friends with everyone he met whoever they were. He was deeply connected to his family and was loved widely among friends. He was in love with the world and the world loved him back. He was made for greater experiences than of this Earth.

Our family is asking for donations to give Anthony a memorial service that he deserves.

I am Anthony's Aunt and have set this up to help my sister in law and brother during this difficult time.
