Boy, where do I start. The five months of bonding with Anthony felt like five years.
Haha. Loyalty was one of his biggest strengths.
He would stick by your side and point you in the right direction in your life. Encourage you to do better, encourage you to do the right thing: We went out to Miami, Fort Lauderdale and then winded up getting incarcerated for a few days, and created a stronger bond between us. His Grandmother, a true sweetheart bailed us out. The adventure with him was never dull, he was full of so much life and excitement.
Inspiring others to enjoy life for what it is, rather than expected. You'd learn from him, he'd provide humor in the darkest hour, Someone I truly admired and appreciated. Rest In Peace, Anthony Lara.

To the family, friends, and loved ones, i am so sorry for your loss.  

I am browsing a year book i found cleaning out my garage, from my middle school from almost 20 years ago. Looking up all the kids i remembered.  I came across Tony's picture and right away remembered, "oh, the friendly kid that always dressed nice."    Tony actually won best dressed award for that entire year.  I knew Tony in middle school.  A  fun and happy individual.  Although we lost touch immediately after school, it looks from the pictures shared by his family, that he continued to live his life in this way.  I wanted to share this memory of Tony with the family and all his loved ones.  I hope you find peace and comfort until you see your Tony again! Peace be upon all you! 

I was with you the whooole day!!! I miss you. So much. We had a great amazing day I’m so glad we had a good day the night of your passing. You’ll always be a part of my life and a memory I’ll never forget. You gave me back a shirt I didn’t even know u had this same day!! I will never lose that shirt. Hope you’re having fun in heaven all though I know you are 

I encountered tony, while we were incarcerated and he became a guiding force in my life. He tried to only give me wisdom and steer me in the right path. We related because; I like him both worked at Duffy’s prior to our incarceration. Tony was a really good person and it’s a shame what’s happened to him. He was smart, funny,  trustworthy and just an all around good human being.  Rest In Peace

Ant, since I know I can’t call you I’ll write you on here . I can’t even begin on how I’m feeling or been feeling. You are always on my mind and I can’t even begin to explain how much I miss you. I will always cherish our memories growing up. You were such a big part of me and now I’m dealing with how to live without you. Know it’s not easy, but everything I do is for you. I miss and love you so much and I can’t wait until I see you again, I love you foreve va jay. Until we hug again, I love you
Ohana
