Anthony Branigan was taken from us far too soon, at just 10 months old. He brought joy, laughter, and love into our lives with his infectious smile and playful spirit. Whether watching SpongeBob or Cocomelon, Anthony's presence was a source of delight. We fondly remember how he would lift his head in excitement when he heard the Cocomelon theme song and how he loved saying “dada” while laughing when trying to get him to say “mama.”
His siblings adored him; his older brothers would eagerly say, “Mommy, I want to hold baby brother,” and his sister affectionately called him “Brubru.” The bond they shared was unbreakable. Even though he was so young, we knew he was destined to embrace life with boundless joy.
Anthony is preceded in death by his great-grandparents, Anthony and Mary Branigan. He leaves behind his loving parents, Olaquanda Branigan and Demitrus Lay; his siblings, Travionta Royall and Amara; and many cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and extended family who will forever cherish his memory.
Anthony’s life was brief but full of love, and he will be dearly missed and remembered with heartfelt affection.
Funeral Service 11:00 a.m., Friday, August 23, 2024 at Mt. Enon Missionary Baptist Church with Rev. Cory Pruitt, officiating. Viewing one hour prior to service.
