May 31st, 2018
Anthony Neil Minchella of Chichester was called home to be with the Lord early Sunday morning May 27, 2018. Anthony was born July 28, 1993 in Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital, the son of Leah-Anne Anderson and the late Jason Minchella. Anthony attended Chichester High School and went on to pursue carpentry in the Job Corps program in which he graduated in 2014. He loved his job at Lowe’s as a lumber employee. Anthony was the most compassionate, selfless, kind-hearted, genuine person. His smile could light up a room and he brought love and laughter no matter where he went. Anthony had a pure soul, never passed judgement upon anyone, he was truly one of a kind.
Anthony is survived by his loving mother Leah-Anne Anderson and step father Robert Anderson. He is also survived by his sister Jaylee Minchella and fiance Sierra Holland, his brother Nickolas Minchella and his girlfriend Leah Wright and nephew Zane Minchella, his Grandma Deborah Sweeny, Pop-pop William Sweeny and Mom-mom Roseanne Sweeny, Aunt Danielle Sweeny, cousins Andrew, Brandon, and William Richardville, Uncle Billy and Aunt Jen Sweeny, and cousins Liam, Mckenna and Arianna Sweeny. Along with so many others, family and friends.
Anthony (aka Meatball and Tony) will be dearly missed by all who were lucky enough to have known him. A viewing for Anthony will be held at Joseph A. Ward Funeral Home 1459 Market St. Linwood, Pennsylvania, Tuesday June 5, 2018 from 11am – 12pm. All are invited to attend.
I know that tony and i might have known each other for not as long as other people but he’s the closest person i’ve ever had in my life he was my best friend and the only person i’ve ever felt that was there for me and loved me we’ve met online and he helped me through so much with my depression no one could make me smile or understood except for him. He made me smile everyday after work when i was tired and stressed he made me laugh. I’ve never had a family and he became all i had and he was all i needed. I’ve been debating on whether i should ever add anything on this website but knowing that i message him everyday i thought that maybe i should let him know in another way that he made me the happiest i’ve ever been he’s always been there for me he was always so honest and helpful and nice and his passing has been killing me more than anything in my life but i’m sure that he’s looking after all of us now like he has always he was the best person i’ve known and he will always stay that way.
Even though I don’t know him (I actually found a “RIP Anthony Minchella” written in sharpie on the side of the Chichester bridge), I send my prayers and condolences.
Tony was a big bright light in my life and I can’t describe how my heart aches for his family and how I still can’t get it through my head that I’m never going to get those goofy text messages every morning again. I miss you Tony; more than you will ever know.
Tony was an amazing person and I had the opportunity of meeting him while in Job Corps. He would do anything for anybody, and never judged a single person. I hope Tony is resting easy and flying high up there! God gained another angel that will be missed deeply. To Tony’s family, I’m sorry for your loss! My heart goes out to you all ❤️
Tony was a awesome guy i was lucky to have met him while in job corps. He will truly be missed. Fly high tony see youin the future.
