Anthony Rene Valenzuela, a man who had the ability to do it all, sadly passed away at the age of 27 in his hometown Tucson, Arizona. Born on October 13, 1995, Anthony was a bundle of joy for his family and friends. He brought happiness with him wherever he went and touched hearts with his joyful persona. He leaves behind to cherish his memory, his uncle and aunt, David and Yvonne Romero; girlfriend, Brooklyn Thornton and her son Roman; brothers, Maico, Alejandro, and David; sister, Selena; father, Val Valenzuela, his fur baby, Nala, as well as many extended family members and friends. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Blas and Berenice Valenzuela.

Anthony was a gifted writer, musician, cyclist, skateboarder, and artist. His talents knew no bounds, and he used them to spread happiness around him. Anthony's love for playing guitar and writing poetry were some of the passions he pursued relentlessly. Many people appreciated his art and felt deeply moved by his words.

Even in times of hardship, Anthony remained optimistic and resilient. He found joy in making others smile and believed that laughter was the best medicine for healing our wounds. His ability to find joy in everything around him inspired many people to see the beauty in life despite any difficulties they may be facing.

Anthony was an individual who cherished his friends and family deeply. He would write intimate letters frequently just to make their day better. Taking trips to California brought out some of Anthony's most joyful memories where he would pet jellyfishes and manta rays—those precious moments of pure delight brought an unforgettable smile on his face.

Anthony’s life led him down many paths before he found himself working at El Conquistador—a prestigious resort for many skilled individuals like him. It was there that he discovered how much talent he possessed; they valued his skills just as much as his gentle heart.
