In Loving Memory

Bonthu, Paul “Anthony”



Born on Wednesday, December 1, 2004, passed away on Thursday, July 28, 2022.
Beloved son of Solomon and Patricia Bonthu. Beloved brother of Kaylynn Brandon and Nick Bonthu. Dear grandson, nephew, cousin, and friend.

We fell in love with Anthony the moment we saw him. He made us parents and a family. He was so sweet and loving that he made being his parents an honor and a privilege. Anthony was an awesome big brother to Kaylynn and Nick, who called him Nene. They loved their big brother so much and enjoyed spending time with him.

Anthony enjoyed skate boarding, writing music, going to the beach, video games and playing volleyball. He will always be remembered for his charming personality, his good looks and welcoming smile. We know we will see him in next life because he is in heaven with other family members who passed waiting for us to be reunited. Families are forever.

Services: Visitation at KUTIS SOUTH COUNTY CHAPEL, 5255 Lemay Ferry Rd., Tues. August 2, 2022, 4 p.m. until 7 p.m. Interment Private.

Condolences

  11. This is shocking. I’m a classmate of his. I don’t know him very well, but he lights up every single room he walks into. He’s like a walking humor machine. He always has something up his sleeve. Fly high, Anthony. Class of 2023 will never be the same

  17. I remember meeting Anthony in kindergarten. We got to be really good friends thought out kindergarten and elementary. And then we both ended up in the same middle school. I remember seeing him the first day of middle school and being happy because I wasn’t the best at making friends. I wish we went to the same high-school. But we stayed close had that inseparable bond. We haven’t seen eachother for a month or so. But we had plans to get together. Love you Anthony.You will be missed. My prayers go out for Anthony and the Family

  29. I’m so sorry for your loss. Anthony was a great friend and was extremely thoughtful. He fit in well with my family and we will miss him so much. I’m going to miss his humor and his laugh. He was always down for an adventure and I’m going to miss playing snake oil and night games with him. Paint fights won’t be the same without you man. I’m grateful to have known him. Please let me know if I can do anything to help.

  45. I didn’t get to know Anthony for very long but I’m so grateful for the time I got with him. From the day we met he acted like we had known each other for forever. Anthony was always there to talk to me when things were hard or even just to make me laugh on a bad day. He was one of the most respectful, generous, thoughtful people I’ve ever met. I’ve never met someone who was so willing to go out of his way to help a friend. I could tell him anything and everything and he would never judge me. I will never forget about him and miss him everyday.

  51. It was just announced during our sacrament meeting of the passing of Anthony, and I could not believe the sad news. Anthony was so sweet and fun to be around with when we worshipped with his family in the Ward, and at the time he was in the primary. I can still remember the numerous birthday celebrations that he invited my son to celebrate with him. I still can remember one of those birthday celebrations at Magic House at Kirkwood, St. Louis with the other kids as they were having a lot of fun. We will forever miss you, Anthony. And to Patricia, Solomon and the rest of the family, we say sorry for the temporary departure of Anthony and we will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

  53. Anthony had the kindest soul and biggest heart. He was able to brighten any room he walked into and his smile was beyond contagious. I’m so thankful that I was able to be a part of his life and make so many memories with him while I could. I’ll never forget the trips we took or nights that he’d listen to music and sing in my kitchen with his closest friends. My heart hurts for everyone that is struggling with his loss, and my prayers go out to his family, friends, and girlfriend. We love you so much, Anthony. Please continue to look over us, wherever you may be, until we meet again.

  83. Anthony has been on my mind lately, mainly thinking about what could’ve been. I’ll admit that I wasn’t as close with him as some of the other people here, but there have been a few times throughout the past year and a half where he would’ve been the perfect person to reach out to. It’s still LLA to this day, miss you man
