It is with deep sadness, we announce the unexpected passing of our brother, uncle, father, and son Anthony James Wray-Taplin on 22 November 2024.  Anthony was the joy of our family, and we cherished every moment we were together.  Anthony was a devoted Christian who was rooted in his love for GOD and was always willing to help anyone in need.  Anthony was also a caregiver for our mother and played a vital role in the life and development of his nephew Makhi who is special needs.  In Anthony's spare time, he enjoyed watching the Raiders play, home improvement, fitness, movies, church activities and family time.  We are saddened that he is no longer here in flesh but comforted by the fact his spirit is with the Lord in Heaven.  Anthony was preceded in death by his father Ernest, Grandparents Audrey and George and his granddaughter Nevaeh.  He is survived by his mother Gloria, aunt Lynn, siblings: Robert, Chris, Tiffany, Taneshia, and Trina.  Sons: Andre, Anthony, and Jaylen. Grandson: Davion, niece Jazmin and his only nephew, thus favorite nephew Makhi aka "pops".

We miss your infectious laugh and love you beyond this life!
