Anthony, a bright light in the lives of all who knew him, passed away leaving behind a legacy of joy, curiosity, and compassion.

His talent and dedication were nationally recognized by the Department of Energy for identifying a critical security breach.

A fan of Fortnite, Star Wars, Marvel, and spirited political debate, Anthony approached life with contagious energy and optimism. Whether deep in research or cracking jokes with friends, he was always upbeat, goofy, and ready to make others smile.
