Anthony's obituary
On July 5,2024 at 3:26am, Anthony Carlos Willis known as (Ant)/ Islamic name Raheem) was called home.
“Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un “ Surely we belong to Allah and to him shall we return”. Anthony was
born on Jan.14,1992 in Washington DC at DC General Hospital to his parents Janetta Willis and Kobie
Dixon. Anthony was the second child out of eight children. Anthony attended and graduated high school at
Parkridge Private School in 2015. Anthony was great at Basketball, Football and Boxing.
Anthony was a very outgoing person. He had a smile that brightened up every room he walked in. He was
the life of the party. He always thought he was everybody's father, even his own mother. Anthony had the
demeanor of the GRIM REAPER heart of an ANGEL. He was always one phone call away and ready to rock
out with no questions asked. Anthony always put that shit on when he walked in a room it only made sense
to stop and admire him. Even though he may have had a rocky past he was becoming the man he wanted to
be. He overcame a lot of obstacles and challenges and even when life was too hard to handle he never gave
up. Anthony was the voice of reason even though he was unpredictable himself that's why half yall here
(shade no tea!!) He gave the best advice he could even if it came with a little tough love. He had big dreams,
he always wanted to see his family come together and do great things. He always saw the good in everybody
even when there wasn't any. His love was spread thin even though he spread it to everybody.
He is survived by his only son Anthony Carlos Backstrom, his five sisters Dalia, Alexis, and Samantha Allen.
Destiny Riggins, and Errica Willis. His three brothers Terry Willis, Delonte Willis, and Roderick Gaither.
His thirteen nieces and nephews Kali Allen, Harmony Allen,
Sophia Murray, Zoey Redden, Morgan Wright, Dinero Brauer Thompson, Dayon Brauer Thompson, Zy’mir
Redden, Za’Har Allen, Zaccai Allen, Messiah Willis, Royce Gaither, Ra’dre Miller and a host of family and
relatives......
To My Father
My father always knew how to put that shit on and he love others like family and he didn’t really trust
people and he always made sure I was good and what ever I needed he got it for me and he always made
sure everything was good before he got me he always made sure his money was good so he get me what I
wanted and when ever I was with him.
