Gordon Ballew Anthony

Gordon Ballew ANTHONY Gordon Ballew Anthony passed March 30, 2011 at 64, from cancer. Dad passed as he wished, at home, with his family by his side. He was born in Seattle, grew up in Shoreline and raised his family in Lynnwood. Over the years dad spent his time coaching our sports teams from the time we were young until our teen years. Coaching included Baseball, Basketball and some Football seasons. He was an avid sports fan but enjoyed hunting, riding motorcycles (road trips/coal hills), boating and golfing with family and friends. There was not a sporting event he did not follow, watch or attend - for Dad we say "GO HUSKIES". Dad retired after 30 years with King County. He retired early and this let him spend a few years traveling through the U.S. and then settling in Wenatchee for the warmer climate. Dad returned to the Everett area, two years ago, to be closer to family. Dad was preceded in death by his mother Jennie, father William, and his brother Bill Anthony. He is survived by his daughter Tina Bunt (son-in-law Lewis Bunt), his son Dan Anthony, his grandchildren Tanner & Paige Anthony, Colton & Dylan Bunt and friend, Irene. In addition, he leaves behind his sister Cathleen, his sister Barbara and his brother Sie along with numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. "The Celebration of Life" will be held Sunday, May 1st, 2011 at the Everett Golf and Country Club from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. Family & friends are welcome. Let's share those pictures and hilarious stories while we enjoy some of the provided refreshments. Donations can be made to Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center of Seattle in the name of Gordon Anthony or you may donate at the "Celebration of Life" and all will be forwarded. Dad - thank you for always being there. You will be missed and forever remembered. All our Love, your children Tina and Dan.
