Curiously these days I was remembering.
But you are at peace my friend.
All the people who love you remember you every day.
Your departure still hurts.
All that is left is to accept that you are in a better place and cherish the memory of how wonderful you were with all the people who knew you.
I love you so much Anthony.
I will remember you always.
Because you created a bond that cannot be seen, but will always be in my mind and heart.

Tox, man, 5 years… the days have begun to get easier. I no longer burst out into tears in the middle of a sentence or meeting, no more debilitating panic attacks alone in the bathroom. Been through a few years of therapy now. Your death brought a lot of crud up from the past. I’m better now, than I was when you were here, I hope you are at peace man.
Meredith and the kids are doing great! Meredith is developing professionally, she’s impressing me a lot man! She is so smart and brave and funny!
Audrey is getting so big man! She’s 5’2” already and not even 12, Roland and Lucian are growing and keep me on my toes daily, even nightly sometimes. Roland has begun school and is smart as a whip. Lucian is sweet and bratty and funny. He’s finding his words, and his feet!

Miss ya man. Love your memory, Anthony

Eyes up, Guardians:

Praise the sun in memory of those whose light has been extinguished.

Remember the light they brought into this world,

Remember how it made yours brighter.

The battle with the Darkness is not only outside our walls,

But inside ourselves.

In this time of great loss and greater Darkness,

Remember that even the strongest of guardians can fall.

Not a failure, but merely the doom of life that we each carry over us,

At all times, the edge between Light and darkness.

Eyes up, Guardians.

For our friends and fellow warriors,

For those whom the Light was cut short,

For the protectors, for the ones who stood at your side,

For those who were the brightest of all.

Eyes up, Guardians.

Dear Anthony my friend
 I found out about your departure in a very special way, I dreamed of you, you were at a table in a park having lunch with your relatives and you were very happy, you saw me, you hugged me tight. At that moment I realized that something was happening, then Google informed me through this beautiful tribute that your family prepared for you who had left this world in 2019.
 I tell the family that I met him through a language application, I am from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I mean, he was simply a wonderful human being, he accompanied my days with very funny talks, I am very sad to hear this news, you told me about your best friend from your mother, how much you loved them, about your tattoos.
 You always sent videos of your work in which you were very happy.
 I don't understand what happened to you, my friend, I just know that now we would be the same age!
 I know that you are very happy where you are because I dreamed of it and one day I promise that I will visit you in your rest if your family allows it, because there is not a day that I do not cry for your departure that I do not write to you how much I miss you my friend.
 I agree with everyone that you were a very special being.
 My life is no longer the same after finding out this sad news, words are very little when it comes to describing the pain and helplessness I feel for not having been useful to you in something at that time not being around to help.

I feel a lot of pain no matter how many years pass the pain does not go away

I say goodbye leaving my condolences to his dear mother and family.

I am grateful for God's gift to me to have had such a wonderful boy for 30 years. Friday he would have been 34. I'm sure Anthony, Jesus, Grandma, Robert, Great grandma, Aunt Karla, Grampa Bill, Audrey, Aunt Debbie, and of course his father Larry had a great party for him.  That is if they do that sort of thing in heaven. Miss him.

Can’t believe it’s been 3 years already ! You have a special place in my heart and in my home. When I walk past your memorial box I always rest my hand on it and say “Hi handsome”! You were such a special person that everyone who knew you is a little richer for it. We on earth are so sad but I bet the angels are overjoyed to have you! I look forward to getting a big bear hug from you when we meet again! I love you❤️

Happy birthday man!

Miss you like mad!

Family has grown! Meredith is killing it at her job, Audrey is 10 already! 10!! Roland is smart as a whip and getting smarter!! Lucian is the cutest 1 year old cuddle bug! He’s just started his bipedal phase!

I’m doing pretty good man. Full time student and get this man, I’m on the deans list in college! 3.87 gpa! I’ll have my Bachelor of Science in Business! Business’ are running very well!

Miss gaming with you man. Diablo now has a mobile version, it’s awesome just like all the other Diablo games. 2K developed a D&D style video game called Tiny Tina’s Wonderland, it’s pretty damn funny. Those are the only two games I have been playing lately, aside from State of Decay 2, but that’s a given! BTW I now have more gamer points than you did when we met, I fear I’ll never reach the 100k that you had. I remember our WoW days…wish I appreciated those a little more.

Everything has changed bro. The world is so different, I sometimes find peace that you don’t have to see the shit show that exists now…

I hope your higher existence is going fantastic my man!

Love you Toxium!

Not a day goes by without tears my sweet boy.  You are with the Lord and I know you would not want me to be sad, so I'm doing my best to live a happy life. However, my heart will never be whole again until I hold you in my arms, my bright and shining star, my son. I know God is good even now, so I will patiently wait till my time is up here on earth and we can be together again in heaven. Love you, Honey.

My dude! It has been two years since you passed, and I still think about you everyday. I know you aren’t reading this but if you are I hope you’ll smile. The world has changed in your absence, some for the better some for the worse. Right about the time you passed away, Meredith and I found out we were pregnant, our son was born Roland Kester Walters on January 5th 2020. It was hands down one of the best days of my life. I wish you could have met him bro! He’s so funny and smart and cute. Meredith and I are doing so good bro! You would be so proud of us. I’m working my dream job and we are expecting another bouncing baby boy!!!! I miss you like the rain misses the cloud bud. You were the best person. You were my best friend. I’ll always cherish all of our memories together. Love you, wherever you are.

You were one of my favorite people and not only my brother, but my friend. I miss your advice mixed with your quick witted jokes. The peace you live in now gives me peace on earth! Time on this earth is momentary compared to eternity and that’s where I’ll meet you again... in our eternal bodies, with our eternal Father, in our eternal home!

In Loving Memory to My Wonderful Son Anthony

Of all the special gifts in life, however great or small
To have you as my Son, was the greatest gift of all
Your lovely soul, your smiling face, my precious son, I can't replace
With an aching heart, I whisper low, I miss you Son, and love you so.

I wished you the best of
All this world could give
And I told you when you left me
There's nothing to forgive
But I always thought you'd come back, tell me all you found was
Heartbreak and misery
It's hard for me to say, I'm jealous of the way
You're happy without me

I got to chat with him a day before he passed away. Unfortunately we don't have mutual friend who can tell me what happened to him.
I only know he is no longer here 6 months after. Merely from googling his name.
I miss you Anthony

Poem by Anthony

April 26, 2022
My mother recently passed away and I found this poem that Anthony had written in her things.  It is another example of my son's creativity and many talents.  I just had to share.

I will miss our phone calls

April 15, 2019

I am Anthony's aunt. His dad was my older brother. Due to distance and circumstances I never got to spend much time with Anthony when he was a child. In 2010 my brother passed away and when I went to his funeral, it was the first time I'd seen Anthony in years! When we met face to face, I could see so much of his dad in him. I gave him a giant hug and it was like we'd known each other forever. I felt like I was holding one of my own children and the loved just poured out. Just being near Anthony you could feel his sweet soul and kindness just emanating  from him. Although it was  a sad occasion, the chance to connect was such a blessing. Anthony had his dad's sense of humor and we'd play off each other till we couldn't stop laughing. When I came back home we stayed in touch with frequent phone calls. He was so smart and funny and we had great conversations. No topic was off limits and we talked about every subject you could think of! I will miss our calls tremendously. I love you sweet boy, rest easy till we meet again. Love Aunt Lynnette


EULOGY

My name is Jim Cupp, and I’m Anthony’s uncle.

Anthony Lawrence Longo was born to Kelli and Larry Longo on August 12, 1988 in El Paso,
Texas. At about 6 months of age, Anthony moved to Missouri with his parents. At age 12
Anthony followed the Lord in believer’s baptism at First Baptist Church in Fulton, Mo. He
graduated the 8 th grade from Kingdom Christian Academy in Fulton, MO and graduated from
Centralia, MO High School in 2006. After high school, Anthony moved to Glendale, AZ where
he worked with his father as a security guard.
After his father’s death in 2010, Anthony worked for U-Haul and then became an apprentice
electrician and member of the IBEW local 640 in Phoenix, most recently employed by Miller
Electric. Anthony was proud to be following in his grandpa Robert’s footsteps by working as
an electrician. He loved his job and was affectionately called “Cubby” by his coworkers. He
was in his 4 th year as and apprentice.
Anthony was diagnosed with ADHD at a young age. While some believe that many kids were
incorrectly diagnosed with ADHD around that time, Anthony’s ADHD was completely legit.
He was in perpetual motion which made him quite a handful for his parents and grandparents. I
remember that when Anthony came to visit, we tended to sit around waiting for a loud crash
and it didn’t take long. Anthony was not a bad kid…he had an ornery streak like any little boy,
but he wasn’t bad, he just put the “H” in hyperactive. He was like a small Billy goat in a china
shop…on speed.
Anthony was no stranger to the emergency room. Multiple broken bones, stitches…you might
think he was accident prone but he really wasn’t, he just went 100 MPH all the time, so stuff
happened. If he was ever quiet, then it was time to worry because that meant he was up to
something.
Anthony loved his dad, Larry Longo. While his dad was alive, Anthony would spend summers
with his dad going to car shows, going to the beach, collecting model cars, and built computers.
He and his dad were best pals until his dad passed away in 2010.
Anthony was as strong as an ox. He would always draw an audience when he was lifting
weights in the high school gym, because people wanted to see how much he was going to lift.
Anthony had a big heart, and he was generous to a fault. His also a very smart and funny guy.
He had a quick wit and could joke about anything. He was so funny that his high school shop
teacher would actually reserve time at the end of each class period for Anthony to perform a
“comedy act” and make everyone laugh.
Relationships were very important to Anthony. At age 30, he was still in touch with his high
school friends, and he stayed in touch with his extended family. I was Anthony’s uncle and
lived 1200 miles away , and while we weren’t extremely close he would still call me up from
time to time for no reason other than to say hi and find out how the family was doing.

Anthony was always a good big brother and took care of his sister, Heidi, from walking her
home from school growing up, to letting her live in his home rent free years later. Heidi
recounted that he was always quick to speak into her life, from bluntly calling her out when she
was doing wrong to encouraging her and cheering her on when she was doing good. Heidi
considered Anthony to a life mentor the best male role model in her life.
The last time I saw Anthony was last fall. My mother had undergone heart surgery so I came to
Phoenix from my home in Kansas City to stay with her for the first few days of recovery at the
hospital. Anthony came to the hospital to see mom and to drive me to the airport, and so I went
down to the lobby to meet him and take him up to the room. Anthony and I hadn’t seen each
other for a couple of years, and so I reached out to shake hands, and he just looked at my hand
for a second and then shook his head and said, c’mon! Then he pulled me in for a big hug. For
me that sums up Anthony. Just a big old loveable kid.
Then, as Anthony was driving me to the airport, he talked to me about his faith, and he was the
one that raised the subject, not me. I knew Anthony was raised in a Christian home, but our
interactions had always been just cutting up with each other, and so I was both surprised and
pleased to have had the conversation. I don’t remember the details, only that I thought, “wow,
this is really cool. “
I’d like to close with some words from a song by an artist named Julie Miller. The song is
called all my tears:
When I go, don’t cry for me
In my Father’s arms I’ll be.
The wounds this world left on my soul, will all be healed and I’ll be whole.
The sun and moon will be replaced with the light of Jesus face.
And I will not be ashamed, for my savior knows my name.
So it don’t matter where you bury me
Because I’ll be home and I’ll be free.
It don’t matter where I lay. All my tears will be washed away.
