Anthony passed away on July 9, 2011 from cancer. He was surrounded by his family at Hospice of Spokane, he was 33 years young.
A big thanks goes out to his Uncle Willy & family for being there for Anthony. The Comer family, most of them could not be there, they were in their hearts. Anth felt the Love, really appreciated the Kindness. Aunt Elaine gave him the gift of his Uncle Willy to be able to stay with him till he was met by his Dad (heaven door). Anthony also had to let Willy know he was going to see his brother, "Larry" before him, as he laughed proud of his words. Willy & John took him to see the fireworks on the 4th. What a special gift they gave him. No words can express the gratefulness! Memory of a barbecue he had for us, that cooked all day long. The pork chops were thick, cooked on a homemade grill, Greg put together. Anth was so happy & proud of himself.
Anthony was born in the city of Tarzana, CA on October 11th, 1977. The first child of Katherine Ann and Anthony Richard Vanegas.
Anthony was very busy little boy, loved to run threw the house, jumping off furniture, learning to swim at the age of 3 always jumping in water wherever it was, skateboarding on gravel roads till he broke a wrist.
He was an only child till 3 years 11 months later, he became a proud big brother to Brian, John, and Courtney were in his life. Happy when he finally had a sister. He thought that a sister wouldn't want to play with his toys, lol. He was jealous and caring at the same time. Always trying to help or tell them what to do, which he did well (sometimes to well).
Moving to Oregon in 1986 all the things he loved as an adult were just a few hours away he loved skateboarding, snowboarding, and skiing. He was passionate about skiing on Mt. Hood, his ashes were delivered and spread there as he had wished. When in Portland, look at Mt. Hood, know that his & some of his dads ashes are together on that mountain. Together always!

"I Miss You! Your Smile that lite the room.Your Laugh you could hear threw the house, giggle when you knew something that no one else knew or saw, just a little sneaky. You did some not to good things at times, before you passed away you asked for forgiveness. You prayed with me and gave it to God. Your Energy that I wish I could of bottled! Your Love had such a Big Heart! You Lived Life Everyday till You Said Goodbye!
" You Are Truly Missed My Son!"
