Anthony D. Ewing Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on May 30, 2007.
Ashley Logan first got to know Anthony D. Ewing in the fifth grade. "He was always an outgoing, optimistic person," said Logan. "He always made people smile no matter what." Ewing, 22, of Phoenix, Ariz., was killed May 28 when his vehicle struck an explosive in Abu Sayda. He was a 2003 high school graduate and was assigned to Fort Hood His father, John Ewing, who served in the Air Force, said his son believed every man should serve at least two years in the military. He joined at 19 about the time his older brother was deployed to Iraq. Ewing "was a guy you could always count on to pick you up," said Capt. Mike A. Punaro. He "was an outstanding motivator that could make you feel better with nothing but his signature smile and a wisecrack." He also is survived by his mother and stepfather, Pamela and Matthew Brown. Julie Jones, a teacher, described Ewing as a bit of a class clown, the kind of student she could not bring herself to discipline for minor interruptions because they were often funny. "He was just one of those kids you really liked," Jones said.

Hi Big Brother,

It's your baby sister! Today has been extra hard for me because I'm about to graduate college and I realized that I won't have you there cheering me on. Although I know that you're always watching over me, it's hard to think I can't have the man who brought me so much joy as a young girl there at one of my biggest accomplishments. I'll never let go of our memories together and how you could make Hershey Kisses magically appear from behind my ears. I will forever be proud of you and will do everything I can to make you proud. I promise to take care of mom, our siblings, and our nieces and nephew. I love and miss you more than I could ever express and can't wait to see you again someday.

Love,
Your Baby Sister Sarah

I am not the best with this sort of thing..words, feelings, expression...However; I know many of us from 2004, Echo Troop, Fort Knox, KY still keep you in our thoughts man. I know your gone now, but never forgotten brother. It's is a hard pill to swallow to know that your gone. Also, how many of us from Echo Troop at Knox didn't make it or is injured beyond repair. We were all just kids still..
You were indeed a motivator to us at Knox and an overall great Scout. *Cheers* Until we meet again Ewing @ Fiddlers Green.. -Hedrick

Anthony,
Today marks 11 years since you were taken from us. I wish we could say it is getting easier to carry on but nothing can ever fill the void in our hearts. We struggle through our daily lives but take solace in knowing one day we will be reunited. We all love and miss you so much!
Love Matt, Mom, Sarah, Nathaniel

Hi Son,

As I am sitting here today, I recall the many Fridays when you came to visit. How you always requested to have pasta for dinner. It was always a pleasure to have you come home and cook meals for you. I missed those times and each day you spent with us. Sarah misses you so much. She is now in 7th grade and she still talks about the tricks when you used to pull candy kisses out of her ears. As for Nathan although he was only a year old when the Good Lord took you, he always talks about you and asks so many questions what you were like and how much he missed you so much, just like all of us. I can't wait to see you again and give you the "BIGGEST HUG"

We love and misses you very much

Love always
Mom,Sarah,Nathan & Becca

Hey Anthony,

I cant believe that you have been gone 5 years now. It seems like yesterday. I miss you so much! You have touched and blessed my life in so many ways. Thank you for that. Because of you, I love deeper and communicate that more. I took for granted all the times we were together and I didnt express enough how much I loved you and how proud I am of you. You have made me want to be a better person by blessing others the way you touched so many lives. They say you get to a point of acceptance, but I still feel the same pain and void in my heart. I long to see you just even one more day. You have brought great honor to our country and to your family. Thank you for being who you are! I love you and look forward to the day we reunite.


Loving you always,
Matt

Hi Anthony,

Happy Easter in heaven. I know you are looking over us. Aound this time in 2007, you were out on a mission and I could clearly remember praying for the 3 soldiers who were missing. I asked for our church to pray for them and God's gudance for you. I guess the Good Lord was ready for you. I love and miss you so much.

With all my love

Hello Son,

It's mom. Happy Thaksgiving. Today is one of the saddest Holiday in our lives. It would be 6 years ago when we had our last Thanksgiving with our family and your friends. How I wished you could be here today. Although you are not here physicaly, in spirit you are always in our hearts and remembered each day.

We love and miss you so much. Again, your sense of humor, your gratitude on simple things and how you count every blessings in life small or big.

As days and years goes by, I thanked the Good Lord for allowing you to be in my life and sharing the best 22 years of your life with us.

I do know, someday, there will be a great reunion and will be able to hug and see you again.

Happy Thanksgiving son
Love and miss you.
Mom, Matt, sarah and Nathan.

Hello Son,

Thank you so much for your ultimate sacrifice. Your legacy will be forever in our hearts. There is not a word to describe in my heart, how proud I am for having sons like you and your brother.
The reason why our flag is still standing is because of your "Ultimate Sacrifice" and your brother Jonathan, along with the other heroes who also gave their lives to defend our country.

Veterans Day is a day to remember all of the heroes in our country. Specially you and Jonathan. To ensure the American Freedom.

Love and Miss you
Mom

I just felt I needed to write this message to you on this day. Your mom Pam popped into my head as I woke this Veteran's Day 11-11-11. I used to "babysit" for your parents in the summers while they both worked. My dad, Ivan, worked with your dad out at Cannon Air Base, Clovis NM. Both good buddies and it think it was because they were both Washington Redskins fans. GO REDSKINS! Well anyway we all would go to your house and eventually your parents needed someone to look after you, Jonathan and Rebecca "Becca". So took on the job wellingly. I always thought you guys were the cutiest kids. And knew one day you would grow up and be little heartbreakers. :) Your mom had sent me some on my email and I was like wow what a good looking family. I had got in contact with your mom again through a mutual friend here in Clovis. We were at a dinner at the VFW Post 3015 and that is when I found out the news of your passing. I was so sadden and that is when i got in contact with your mom. She was excited to hear from me as I called to give my condolences to the family. We got to talking and exchanged emails and numbers. We kept in touch for alittle while. (but Pam I'm sorry I lost all contact information) But wanted to say I was thinking about you and all your family on this special day. I work here at the hospital in Clovis and over the intercom they played a few patriotic songs to honor the Veterans and of course the waterworks started because it reminds me so much of my dad, Ivan Sarracino Jr. a Vietnam Veteran. So I write this today to say Thank You and that you are still im my thoughts and prays. (Pam please contact me again.) Well Anthony I'm so sad I didn't get to meet you as a young man but all the stories I have read about you makes me say "that sounds like Anthony"!! Cause even at a young age you were the little character. I always remember the time your mom and I took all of you to the Science Spetrum in Lubbock Tx. Cause at the time I had my young son Stephen. And if I look really hard I can probably find those pictures and would love to share them with your family. Your cute little face in that astronaut cutout. So let me see what I can do. So in closing I just want to say Thank You again for your service. You will truly not be forgotten! Goes to show that your in my thoughts and prayers after ALL these years. Well Anthony keep looking over your family. And PLEEEZ help our Redskins win a game hehehehe.

September 18, 2011

Hello Son,

Today is your 27th Birthday. Again, how I wished we can celebrate it together. The last one we celebrated together was in September 2005. Happy Birthday!

I know you are looking over us. I remember when you were born. It was around 1:00 am in the morning. It was the best feeling seeing you, holding you a whole 7 Lbs and 6 Oz, 22 inches long. No wonder why you are so tall.

Your smile always gave me the joy and how great you are. I will never forget when you found a motor from a remote control car. How you put that together by cutting tthe coke cans, making propeller out of it and ask me for a battery. Next thing I knew, you had a morotorized fishing gadget with fishing line ready to catch a fish at the Travis AFB pond with Matt.

What an inventor. Not only utilizing all your resources and gives everything you have. Just like giving your ultimate sacrifice to our country. What a great Hero, Son, Brother,Grandchild. We will never forget you. You are in our heart. Just like Nathan always says, " Brother Anthony is in my heart.

We love and missed you greatly. Happy Birthday!

Love
Mom

Happy Birthday, Anthony! I am still in shock that you are gone. I had hoped they made a mistake but as each day passes, a cold reality sets in. There is nothing that will ever fill the void in my heart. You were always larger than life. I know that I am somehow suppose to be comforted by knowing your in a better place; but instead I am overwhelmed with anger and sadness. Anyway, just missing you!

P Brown

September 11, 2011

Hello Son,

I can'tbelieve it has 10 years since 9-11.I wished you are here with us.Your birthday is only a week from now. We will be celebrating it with you in spirit.

How,I wished you are here physically for me to hold and give you lots of hugs. Your brother Nathan always says that he misses you and that you are inhisheart just like Jesus.

As Sara, Nathan and Becca goes through life they are always thinking of you. We will forever remember your "Ultimate Sacrifice"

Love You always

I cant believe it has been 4 years since you were taken from us. It still feels like yesterday! The pain is still too much to bare. I am so proud of you and will never forget our time together. You have made such an impact on so many lives. I love and miss you.

Pam Brown

May 31, 2011

Hi Son,

Four years ago today when I recieved the news that the Good Lord had decided to take you from us. I thanked him for giving us 22 years of your life. The life that we shared together. How you gave us so much joy.

Everyday goes by, I wonder how you spent your last days. How I wished I could have been there for you. The Thursday before Memorial Day weekend on May 2007, I was so relief when your sister Becca said that you got back from your mission and that you were doing well. I did not realized, that was the last contact we had with you.

I could recall when you said " Mom, when I come home there will be lots of flags, people will be cheering and there will be cow bells ringing" and when you got back, indeed people welcomed you with cheers and flags because youn are a Hero who gave your ultimate sacrifice.

Son, how I missed you so much. Each day, I think of the last hugs you gave me and the voicedmail that you left how much you love and miss me. That is exactly how I feel everyday of my life.

I do know one thing, you gave your life without regrets because you care a great deal for your family, friends and country. To have what any country longs for,the American Freedom.

The freedom that allows our American Flag to stand Still against all enemies.

Son, I love and miss you. Until our great reunion which is not soon enough for me.

Love and Miss you
Mom

Hello Anthony!
Just dropping by to say we're thinking about you. I see your pictures On friends' Facebook and I often just stop and think. How happy you were with life and how darn funny you were. You boys were too much! Not that I would know only from the stories I hear how crazy you guys were. We are all so very thankful for you Anthony.

Hello Son,

It's mom. I am just thinking about you, just like always. It is going to be almost four years this May, since we lost you. How I wished you are still with us physically. Although I know in Spirit you are looking out for us.

It is such an honor to know that you
are my son, who sacrifice your life to have the freedom that we now have. I often ask God why did he take you at an early age. I know there is not an answer. He is the only one who knows
why? His purpose for you here with us is now completed. I do know one thing, according to the Word, there is time for everything. One day we will have a great reunion and I can not wait when that time comes. For now, just remember, you are always in my heart and always thinks about you.

The way you deal with life, easys going, nothing ever bothered you. You were always happy with what we had. Even when we were having the toughest times. I just can't thank you enough for being my son, who gave me such joy and cares. I love you and I will see you soon.

Love Mom

September 11, 2010

Hi SON,

It's mom. It is almost your birthday. Happy Birthday soon. How I wished you are here to celebrate the day with us. It is so sad without you here. We missed you so nuch, specially Sarah. Everytime I get her some kisses candies, she thinks of you a lot. She knows that you are always with us.

She will never forget when you ground her when she was having a fit and when you would ask her to say " I Love You Brother" Your Legacy will forever remain in our life and each day, I am looking forward to our reunion.

For now, Just wanted to tell you that your nephew and niece are so precious. But I know you already know that. Also, Nathan is in school now. He is so, cute the things he does sometimes remind me of you when you were his age. I wished I could turn back time. All I can do now is to think and cherished the good and bad times we had as a family. You grew up so quick that 22 years was like a page in a book that we can just flip back.

I often wonder why the Good Lord chose to take you at a young age. Maybe he did not want you to suffer here on earth but want you to be with him and enjoy the heaven.

I know you are with him and see you when my time comes.

Love mom

Hi Anthony,
It's me Rona. I know this is so random but.....when were little kids I always thought You, Jonathan, and I were the 3 Musketeers or the 3 trouble makers as our parents would say. ours parents could never keep us apart. Through the years our family kept running into each other where ever we ended up moving. And we moved around a lot. Even so I still couldn't wait to see you each time you guys came to visit us or visa versa. I just wanted to say I am sorry we lost touch after the last time we saw each other. I'm sorry I was not there. I thought you guys were still living in Clovis, New Mexico. I have been trying to find you and Jonathan on MySpace and Facebook. But I just found out through the years of me searching for you guys.....all along you were living so close to me.....it's a small world as they say because no matter where I lived, you guys were there too, and yet I had no knowledge of that until now. From Clovis, Arizona, and here in Texas. I always thought about you through out the years. My little brother and my mom just told me she found your mom on facebook. I was so excited. I told my dad....oh my gosh....i can't wait until we get to hang out again and catch up like back when we were little kids. The good ol days. But then...my mom had told me the news.....til now I am shock, extremely sad, especially that I didn't even say goodbye.......WoW......it was a surprise to me. It hit me really bad. I got to see the family. It was like the good ol days again.....but Jonathan already went back home and my best friend wasn't there. But it was still really good to see the family. I wish you was the there. It would of been like old times again. I am still in shock. I've known you since we were 6 years old. You were my first best friend, my first crush, and my first love. Yeah.....the parents had fun with my love letter I wrote to you when we were 6 1/2 years old. My dad still has my letter to you...mom says, its in a book, in the storage. I remember when you used to be so overprotective of me when we went to our first day of school because that was the first time I've ever been to school......lol.....everyday you would wait and always walk with me to my class and from school side by side all the way home, never leaving me out of your sight. And when we had our little fights you always were still there never keeping me out of your sight and still no matter who started you were always the bigger man, to come apologizing, just so I will stop crying or feeling sad or upset. In the end you always wipe the tears from my eyes and made me smile again. LoL.....especially when you bought me candy from that store that we always walked to. Growning up was hard through the emotional roller coaster years especailly without you some of those years......boy, I wish you were in my life to always wipe the tears from my eyes and make me smile again......like what you always did when we were kids. When I was being a cry baby as you would of called it.......but then you would say somthing or do something funny, and you wouldn't stop you'd keep at it, until I finally crack a smile or giggled then after came your closing signature hug........making the world better again. Even as a little kid til now as a grown man from what I've read. Your still the same Anthony, I remembered, and always will remember as.....the greatest person/ best friend you will ever meet and remember for the rest of your life.
Well, I just wanted to say that I miss you so much Anthony.

Hi Son,

It has been 3 years since you departed from us. I could still remember the weekend on May 25th 2007. Your brother, sister, and our family got into talking. How we were so glad to hear that you were back from your mission. When you talked to your sister, how you asked about the paperwork on your truck because you were planning to buy a new car. At that time it was such a relief that you were okay.

Prior to this before you left for your mission, you had called us and said, if we are not hearing from you for about 2 or 3 weeks, it's because you were on a mission and your okay. I never knew what mission meant. Here I was thinking you were just going to accompany some of your troops to assist them in getting them from point A to point B.

Little that I knew, you were walking into the line of fire. When I think about all this, I wished I could have done everything, to stop you from leaving again, for your second deployment. I knew you could have gotten out of it, but you are so proud to serve our country.

As you have said before, every man should serve their country and you did. You gave the "Ultimate Sacrifice" for our freedom.

Even though you are not in our presence physically, you are here in the spirit. I know you are looking over us and see know everything we do here. I know someday we will have a great reunion. For me, it is not soon enough. But as you know for now, I am here to care for your brothers and sisters. Not to mention your niece and nephew Noah Anthony.

Son, I miss you so much. There is not a day goes by, that I don't think about the times that we shared and the joy you had given to me. Just remember, with your sacrifice, many lives were changed for the better. Even people who are strangers to you.

Love Mom

Hi Anthony,
It's May.. and in just a couple weeks it will be 3 years since you've departed us. I know many will be sad as this day comes closer. Joel still talks about you every so often and about the crazy high school days. I think about you as often as I call my son when he's in trouble... James Anthony!!! .. which if you knew our son.. is pretty often. Anywho nothing too much to say other than I wanted you to know that we are thinking about you.

Soldier”
Written to Honor the Service of Our Fallen Soldiers

Soldiers write history…they pay the price
Many miles distant, you live the life
Entered the Battle of our own free will
Out of Duty for Country, and we’d do it still

We hope and pray that all will find peace
In God, in the flag, in memories of valor
Gone now, our pride and courage you see
“An Army of One” our motto forever

Willing to risk all for love of our Brothers
We’re still Your Soldiers…and we showed the way
Our Lives too short, now pray for the others
Lived free died Heroes in lands far away

Deep within souls all cherished our Service
We’ll always have what some never know
Courage and Honor, our names forever
Lived life with purpose…just our time to go

We march in the Heavens with Honor and Glory
Missions accomplished we fought the Good Fight
Many years from now…we’ll tell the full story
Until that Day we will live in the Light

Our lives we laid down in a land far away
Still watching o’er you this night and by day
No need to talk…just know we are with you
There in your hearts and we hear what you pray

Yes we are your soldiers
Our lives we laid down
Still We guard o’er you
Still Duty bound

Entered the Battle of our own free will
Out of Duty for Country, and we’d do it still
We’ll always have what some never know
Lived life with purpose…it was our time to go

Hello Son,

This month would have been 3 years since I saw you last in December 2006. When I took you to the DFW airport for your 2nd tour. I did not realized that we will be saying our last goodbye. We missed you this holiday and everyday goes by, There is not a single day that I don't think about you. I missed your sense of humor, how you appreciated everything that you had. You never complain about the food I cook. You always loved my pasta, pansit and the Pingo food. I know you are not here physically. But I you are here in spirit with us.

Hw you are watching over us and probably can not wait to meet again. That day will come and not soon enough for me. Merry Christmas Son. I love and missed you so much.

Love

Hello Son,

It is that time of the year. Thanksgiving week. I remember our 2006 Thanksgiving celebration. It was such a memorable and a great one. Although we had some challenges at that time. But we had a great Thanksgiving.

For this year 2009 we will be having it here in Texas. I believed everyone will be here. By the way, you will be an uncle with a little baby boy from your older brother. I wished you are here to spoil both of them.

I know that you probably know it already; Sarah lost her two front teeth. He looks like a Jacko-Lantern. So cute. Your youngest brother is growing to be such a big boy.

How I wish this year you are here with us. But I do know one thing, in spirit, you are always with us. Just like what Sarah said, "Anthony is always here with us". Well son, just wanted to share what is going on in here with us. Until next time or when I see you in Heaven.

Love
Mom :(

Hello Son,

Just wanted to say Hi. I got an email from our friend Phillip. He was stationed in the PI with your dad. What a good friend. It is so unfortunate that after all this time, he had a news of your passing. What an empty feeling he has now that you are gone.

I was just at your brother's yesterday. We visited the museum and showed all the vehicles sorrounding you guys when you were out in the battlefield. What an accomplishment for you son.

You have done such a "JOB WELL DONE". Individuals are living because of you. You gave your life in exchange for the other ones. Your giving heart is so rare and hard to find. How I missed you so much. I remember when you came by, you and Becca boght me an outfit with a matching bright "RED SOCKS" that will keep me warm all winter long. Things that you did and think about is what makes you so special.

I will forever cherish the home made Jewelry box you made for me for Christmas 2005. How you put 3 candles a picture of waterfall and a bath salt. You are so thoughtful and caring in so many ways. What a great loss we have.

But I do know one thing, you are in a better place. One day we will meet again, which is not soon enough for me.

Love
Mom

Hi Son,

I can't believe you are now 25 Years old. It seems like yesterday when I was at the hospital giving birth to you. I was in labor for more than 12 hours. But when it was all said and done, It was the greatest feeling. How I wished you are here with us to celebrate you 25th birthday.

Although you are here with us each day in spirit. Sarah and nathan knows that you are watching over us everyday.

Son, we missed you so much and we will celebrate your birthday. In fact I told Sarah that we will bake a birthday for you. Well until next time.

Love and Miss you
Mom

Hello Son,

The month is almost over. I have been thinking about you each day. Sarah and Becca started school again. Time had gone by so quick. Who would have thought Sarah will be in 2nd grade and Becca Sophomore in college. Sarah and I were talking and she wanted me to tell you that, she is sorry that you are gone and you left. She said "please come back". She often tells me that you are always with us here. and that, I should not missed you because you are with us each day.

Today, she is helping me with housework. She is vacuuming and taking care of Nathan. Son, we missed you so much. But I do know, God loves us. He has a purpose for us. Someday, we will see each other in heaven. It might not be soon enough. But I am looking forward to our reunion. By the way, I bet you see grandma's dog Brandi in Dog's heaven. Our love and hugs to her as well.

Love and Miss you
Mom and Sarah, Nathan, Becca, Matt, your big brother, Dad, Jess,Niece Bay Maddyand dogs Hoss and Goldy.

Hello Son,

Another month had gone by without you. had a dream about you it was so real. You had a nice white shirt and being yourself. Just waving at me with a smile in your face. Then I woke up. Sarah will be 7 on Friday and how I wished you are here. Although I know in spirit you are with us. Also, you probably have not seen Wyatt, Kevin's son. His bithday is also August 7. Kevin had another baby a girl. I bet you laready know that.

Just missed you so much. There is not a day goes by that I don't think about you. When I pray to GOD, I know yo can hear me as well. Probably looking and watching over us. Remember your pet chick? Named Peeper, I knew you missed him when he left, but now I know that you probably see it as well.

The postcard you send him wa so nice and very sincere. Just like you always are. Your sacrifice will never fade and live forever.

Well beter go for now. Until next time.

Love always
Mom

Hey Anthony...the services on memorial day were beautiful...i cant believe its been two years...memorial day used to be a day that you just think of all of the people who have been so strong and served our country, now it is a day that touches me more than i ever thought it would...its still a day to be proud of but more than ever its a day that makes me sad and proud to have had a friend who served his country with such honor but because of it has been taken from us...when i think of you i always see you smiling and laughing and being a the goof you were just happy and making everyone around you smile. i love you and know you are still smiling down on us now.

Hi Son,

Just wanted to say that we are, thinking about you each day. How your siblings wished you are still here with us.

I just loved how you would show me your new toys (guns) and I would be so scared. Now that I look back, it makes me laugh and sad. There are no words to express how deeply we missed you. But I do know one thing, soon we will meet again. Sarah says hi! and Nathan. Sarah also tells me you are always around and that, I should not be sad. I know that is so true.

Tomorrow, it will be a year of you parting from us. But that is just on a physical sense. Spiritually you are with us no matter where we go. The Good Lord, just wanted your company sooner than He wanted us.

But soon we will meet again. Also, on Memorial Day, Becca, Ryan, Jill and I had a good talk about you. We shared great memories of you and how you touched our livers in so many ways. Ways that changed us for the better. Well, better go for now. I love and miss you so much. Just glad that I got to hugged and hold you before you left for Iraq in December. Until we meet again, son...

Love Mom

Hi Son,

This month is such a hard month for our family, due to loosing you on Memorial day 2007. I just can't believed that you are no longer with us. But I know in spirit you are looking and watching over us. Your brother, sister and I will be going to your resting place and visit you. Although the Sarah always tells me that you are always around.

We just miss and love you so much. I wished things could have been different. But I know that the good Lord had plans when she took you away from us. It is just so sudden and quick that we never even had a chance to say goodbye. I know one day we will meet again in Heaven where you are now. Well, I guess have to go now. Until next time.

Love Mom

Hi Son,

It is almost 2 years since the last time I heard from you. Memorial Day is almost here and this day is changed forever, now that you are gone and away from us. But one thing I know, you are looking over us. I am not sure what to feel right now. It seems like yesterday when I took you to the airport December 2006. I am still hoping that you are going to come home with the rest of the troops.

Your oldest brother will be coming home soon. I wished you are here to to celebrate his homecoming. Well one day we will all meet again and have our reunion. For me, this is not soon enough. Until wee see again.

Love Mom

Hi Son,

How are you? I feel so empty and sad while reading your brother's letter to you. I know that he missed you so much and if he can turn back time he will to get you back. It just breaks my heart that you are no longer with us and we will not be able to cry, laugh and hug each other. Although I know one thing, you are looking down on us and guarding. You are the Angel who is always watching out for us, from up above. As for your little sister, we were talking and she said that you are always with her. I do believe that, because she always talk about you and always include you when we are talikng. How wonderful that she remember the best times you shared with her. As for your little brother he says good night to you and kiss your picture each night. Sometimes I wished I could hug and hold you. But I know that You are here with us in Spirit. Your other sister is doing well,such a fine daughter of mine. She has a good head on her shoulder and could not ask the Lord for a better child. I am just blessed to have you all, as my children, not to mention Jessica and your liitle niece. How beautiful she is.

I just thought I talk to you today, until next time. Love and missed you.

Ma!

Hey Little Brother,
I guess I finally got around to writing in this guestbook of yours. I just never wanted to accept the fact that you are actually gone. I always have dreams where we are hanging out and having a good time. They seem so real but then I have to wake up and I realize that it was all a dream. I always try to go to sleep but it never works. You know how that goes. I just wish there was something I could have done. I blamed myself for the longest time, and every once in a while I still do, for what happened to you. I wasn't there to help, I wasn't there to stop you from going, or I constantly think to myself that if I hadn't joined then maybe you never would have. But I know that you would have done it anyways. I'm just sorry that I wasn't there, to get you out of trouble, to do what older brothers are suppose to do. But I know that you are in a far better place looking down at us and protecting your loved ones. I know you are gone and that I will never see you again. But I want you to know that I will never forget you. I will never let your name fade away with time. You will be always be remembered and there will always be stories of that skinny kid with that crazy flare for life. One day we will meet again. With a little help from you, it wont be for a long long time. But when we do, it will never be soon enough. I love and miss you tons Little Brother. Your little niece and older Sister in Law love and miss you too!!! They are doing fine by the way. Take care and look after Mom. Until Next Time.

Hi Son,

Another Month has passed by. Can't believed you are not physically with us. Just looking at our family pictures from the time we were in Missouri. Still remember the first fish you caught. It was almost as tall as you. Just missed those days. I do know one thing it is just a matter of time before we will meet again. I had a dream about you and your brother. How you were asking me to go with you. IU said yes, and then your brother held me with his hand. I guess this is a sign that soon I will see you. Just missed you so much. Your humor and perception in life is so different than anyone else. You'd rather help others than put ytpurself firs. You a selfless person and just had so much to share. You even shared your life to benefit others. Well, have to go. Huggs and kisses from all of us. Your family.

Hi Son,

Happy New Year. Another New Year without you is so empty. We missed you so much. Holidays are not the same without you. I know that you are looking down on us. For Christmas your dad and sister went to visit you. But I know that you already know that. Your sister said that she feels so much better after visiting you. She has such a good heart and so much humility, just like you. I wished you could be here to se that. As for your big brother, he said that they played football and ate Chistmas dinner with the troops. We missed him so much as well. Being together for the holiday as a family is all I wanted. I bet you enjoyed the Holiday with our Good Lord. One of these days we will all meet again. Just wanted to say that you are always in my heart and always thinking about you. As fo your niece she is growing to be so pretty. But again, you already know that. Your little brother and siter are growing so fast. THe missed you a lot as well and always give you kisses when they see your pictures on the wall. We love and missed you.

Till we meet again.

Anthony,

Happy Thanksgiving Bud! I miss you so much! I know how much you loved the holidays. You were always the life of the party! There is such a big void in my heart now that your gone. Everytime I hear one of your favorite songs when you were a kid, i am overwhelmed with sadness. You always put family, friends, and people in need of help before yourself. You had a great personality; the kind that everyone instantly fell in love with you. You saw comedy in chaos. I am honored that the Lord brought you in my life. I spend most of the time upset that your gone but know that is not how you would want us to be. I try to think what you would do in different situations and use that in my life. I long to see you again. Hey, put in a good word for me with the big guy! I love you and very poud of you!

Love,

Matt

Hi Son,

Hpppy Thanksgiving Day. It sure is empty without you here. Although I know you are celebrating it with us in spirit. Today, has been 2 years since we last had our last Thanksgiving with you. I just sent an eamil to your brother, wishing him a happy and good one, despite of us not being with him. I just feel so empty withou you and your brother. I am glad that we got to spend ouyr last thanksgiving together as a faily. Nothing will take that away, and it is what I live for on a day to day basis.

Today, we are having a quiet one. Grandma is here with us and we saw a video of our Christmas in 2001. What a long time ago. I should just live what you are now, but I am still living what it was. Someday, we will all meet again and be a happy family with God.

Your little sister and youngest brother, are getting so big. There is not a day that they don't think about you. One day Sarah asked me, " How did you managed to get candy out of her ears" I said it is your brother's secret, and that she will find out someday.

As for your sister in law, she is such a wonderful one and being the best mom for your niece. Your niece is the pretiest ever.

As for your sister, she is such a wonderful one and always calls us and check in to us. I know you know all this. But I thought I would share it with you anyways. Again, Happy Thanksgiving.

Love and missed you
Mom.

Hi Son,

Another week has gone by. Just been really thinking about you. How you always appreciated the cooking I did for you when you came to visit with your friends. There is not a single day that I wished I can do that again for you. How you asked for some pastaand Pingo food. I always enjoyed cooking for you and how I watched you eat your food. Now all I have is your sweet memories to reflect on everything when thinking about you. Today, I went to school to volunteer in the History class on 9th grader. I could remeber when your classmates thought I was your sister and you always got upset about that. I would do anything to have you back and to be able to hug and tell you, "I love you so much". Well, I have to go for now. Unitl next time. Soon I will be able to see you and share our laughters and tears together.

Love Mom

Hello. My name is Nickolette Ewing. I Attend Sumner High School As a 9th Grade Freshman In Sumner, Washington. Today we had an Assembly for the Veterans Day, as we walked in we were handed little slips of paper with a soldier who gave the ultimate sacrifice’s name on it. I Got Anthony Ewing. Im sorry for your loss, I’ve read about him on the slip, and it makes me really sad to hear about how many people die in the war. It is now my honor to know the story of such a brave person, who I owe my right to live from. I find it pretty neat that I got a brave solder with the same last name as me. I hope you enjoy this message, I don’t mean it to be rude and interrupt.

I wanted to let you know that Anthony Ewing is being honored in other places around the US today as we celebrate our freedom and honor those who gave their lives to protect it.

Hi baby,

It hasn't gotten easier!!! I miss you so much everyday. I went into the lobby of my office and saw a young man sitting with his head looking down and I had to take a deep breath, he looked so much like you. For that split second baby I thought you were back! Life was okay again, for that split second I had my baby back.. Then I realized it wasn't you, I cried and the emptiness that I have felt for so long was back. I miss your sweet face so very much honey. I miss your laugh and goofy way you do things.

I love you sweetheart..

Hi Son,

Just missing you so much. There is not a single day, I wished I could hug and tell you I love you so much. Your sisters and Brothes although at young ages, often talk about you. How you pretended to get candy kisses out of her ears. She will always remember that. Also, I know that you are looking over us, as our angel and help protect us. Your niece is so pretty just like your sister. We love you so much. When we meet, we will make up for the lost times we did not have on this world.

Love you

Anthony, your family I know misses you greatly. You are now resting with my son Buck and I know that you and all the sons and daughters who have gone before you and since you left earth are looking down with God's blessings and sending love from above. One day we will all meet again but until that time possibly we will meet as families here.
Pam, I want you to know as a mother of another fallen hero I'm here if you ever need to talk or just have someone who's been there too. Contact me anytime and I pray that God will give you the comfort and healing that you need.

Just been thinking about you. How sad it is that you are not with us. It just hurt so much and you had so much to give to everyone. As I go on my day, I think about the things you did when you were a baby, as a little boy and as you were growing as an adult. How you made everyone feel better and laugh.

Your sisters and brothers missed you so much. Although nathan is still youg, he always gives you kisses at night before he goes to bed. I know you can see and feel that.

Well, I thought I would share this with you.

Love and Miss you

Hi Anthony,

Happy B-day two days ago. I can still remember the day you wrere born. It seems like yesterday. How you like to cling to me and would not let me out of your sight. But I do know one thing, you are looking over us now. It makes me sad that I am not even able to hug you, but I know that we can feel you in our hearts. You are now an uncle to a beautiful Maddy. I bet if you are here, you will spoil her rotten like you did Sarah. How pretty she is and look so much like your brother.

On the 14th of Septemebr, we came to visit you. How empty I felt because I can not even hold you. I hoped you liked the flowers and the baloon for your B-day. Also, Ryan, Jessie and Tffany came to see us. They are well, but it is not the same without you. Oh, how we missed you so much.

On Monday the 15, we took your brother to the Airport to head out again. It brought so much pain and anguish and I wished I did not let you go then. But I know one thing, you loved us and gave your Ultimate Sacrifice to your country and to all to us.

Your sister went to see you on your birthday, how she said she cried so much for missing you. You and her had so much special bond that I know she will always treasure. I am also sure that all the people you came across, touch and HELPED appreciated everything, changed their lives for the better and can move on without regrets.

Son, I missed and loved you so much. MA!!!!!

Hey Buddy, guess what, its our birthdays again! I remember how much you would rub it in that you were a day older than me. Every year since 5th grade you wouldn't let me forget it.... Gosh I really miss you. I wish you, me and Ryan were celebrating right now for 3 days straight like we said we would always do. I hope you like the flowers I left you today, they were the brightest ones I could find, hehe. I always ask for just one more day with you but I know that would lead to only asking for more. I love and miss you so much Anthony! Thank you for looking down on me and trying to point me in the right direction with the everyday struggles that life hands me. I love you!

Hi Anthony, today you would be 24 yrs old.. you were so young, i don't understan why you had to leave us. I think of you constantly, i wish ihad done so many things way differently. i wish i had a second chance to hold you and tell you how much i appreciate you and love you. You and i had our own little story and i will hold that dearly no matter what people might say or think. I love and miss you dearly, i know we would argue like an old married couple but we were always there for each other. It makes me so sad to read your moms messages. I too wish you were here to see your lil sis graduate and your new niece.. i know you'd be a great uncle... Remember Steve???? as you would call him? You and i made a perfect team baby-sitting that boy.. he loved us :) I trully miss you, i'd give anything for another day with you and i would gladly make you your Shrimp pasta.. i think thats what made me smile the most when you came for seconds and would complement my cooking.. i remember when Chris came over and after of hrs of waiting it seemed.. the chicken wasn't cooked.. i don't remember what we ended up eating though. Oh Anthony... thank you for looking down on me and keeping me safe. Happy Birthday sweety...

We're always thinking of you! You're Christopher's HERO, he admires you a lot! He has your picture in his room...he had told us before that...the reason he has your picture is because you'll protect him always!!! He puts your picture under his pillow. We were at Walmart last night and bought something to remind him of you....and he can't wait to wear it!!! Thank you for watching over us!!! We love and miss you so much!!!

I never met Ewing in person but I heard so many wonderful things and great stories. He and my son-in-law Jimmy were together that day. Jimmy had two biological brothers- one was even in Iraq at the same time but nobody was closer to him than his brothers-in-arms. I would like to share a photo or two since none have been posted yet if no one minds. Jimmy's page contains several photos of Ewing (as he will always be known by us) as well as photos of Jimmy & Beth and other friends and family if anyone would like to see them (it's Cpl. James E. Summers III 5-28-2007 if you need help finding him.) Please know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers. It doesn't seem to hurt any less as time goes by but I hope you have many happy memories to fall back on on the really hard days. Jimmy always had a smile and a joke or encouraging word and the way he spoke of Ewing and the photos we have seen, they were two of a kind.
Love and Peace to all.

In Memory of Anthony ~ (Debra Estep)

May 28, 2008

Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.


The Wind on The Downs

“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”

(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )

Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….

“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”


I did not know Anthony, but I am remembering
his service. He is my hero. !

The Other Side

i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.

can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.

i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side

the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

We miss you so much. But come tomorrow it will be 1 year. and this memorial day weekend definately hit home this year. It means so much more now than it ever did.

Mom again. Just having such a hard time understanding why at a young age, the Lord had taken you away from us. I know that the Good Lord has a plan for all of us. I wished I knew. My heart cries each day, knowing that you are not here with us. I don't believe that there is ever healing on my part. Only acceptance in my part, that I don't get to see you in a wedding and see your children.

But, I d oknow one thing the Good Lord is there with you looking over us each day, waiting for our great reunion.

Reunion, that I am looking forward to. I just missed you so much.

Love Mom.

Hi Anthony,

It is mom. I know that you are looking and watching over us. We just miss you so much. As you know, Becca will be graduating in about 4 weeks. We wished you are here with us. But I do know one thing, you are with us in Spirit.

I just remember the day Matt your baby brother Nathan and I took you to the airport. We were so sad. Afterwards you have callled me and left a message saying you missed and loved me. I wished I was on the phone when you left that message. I do know one thing, now I can always and still hear your voice. Although it will never be the same.

Also, Jessica and Jonathan are expecting their little in September. I can't believe you will be an uncle. If you are here, I know you will spoil your niece and give her lots of chocolates like you did with your little sister Sarah.

She still remeber how you used to bring her kisses when you visted us on a Friday afternoon. How you waited for us at the front yard and how you always surprise Becca when you picked her up from school.

We just missed you so much.

Love Mom, and everyone.

Hi, Anthony,

It it is mom. Thinking about you again. Just wished you are here with us. Although I know in spirit you are with us. Becca is graduating from High School. I would do anything for you, to see her graduate. Your little sister, whom you watched over, cared for and love dearly. But I know that you will see her from above looking down on us.

I know, you are so proud of her. Also, you are going to be an uncle. Jessica and Jonathan are expecting a little girl. I bet she will be as cute as you are when you were a baby.

I just missed uyou so much. Sarah, ask for you all the time and look at your pictures. How time had passed by. It seems so, it was just yesterday when I last took you to the airport and said good bye to you, before you left. How you called and left a message on my phone and told me, you love and miss me.

I miss you too, son.... No matter how many children I have, you always and will remain a special place in my heart. When people see your picture, they often tell me, you are a replica of me. I do know one thing. I love and miss you so much

Mom....

Hey Baby!

Its mom again!!! I love you and miss you so much my baby boy... I see you face and can't really believe your not home with us. I still have your cell number in my phone and I want to call it and hear your voice, but I know someone else has it and I can't hear someone else on your phone. I know, weird...

Anyway, the other kids are doing well. Chance is getting ready to go to Japan for 3 years and Ryan is getting ready to graduate high school. Ash is doing well and Kristie is still married to your favorite! HAHA!! Chase is going to therapy at school and privately. I found a Dr. in Temecula that specializes in Autism (specifically Asperbergers) Chase is still a hand full, but we feel he will continue to improve, even if it is slowly. He is 13 now and is as tall as I am. I know that isn't saying much, but whatever!!

I am going to be in Phoenix next weekend and decided it is time to come see you.

Anthony, I cannot tell you how much I miss you and how much JOY you bring to my life. There are so many things I wish I could tell you and laugh about with you. I have so many great memories of our family (extended as well) and all the crazy, happy, nutty things that went on... I am so blessed and proud to be your "mom".. You are an amazing son and I thank God for every second I had with you.

I will see you soon,

with all my love.... Mom

Hey handsome
I need to get out to see you and take down the Christmas decorations and give you some spring colors. Hopefully this weekend. I know you won't mind waiting. Barrett Jackson just about did me in!
You would be so proud of your buddy. Jesse passed the written exam to the Police Academy. He's stressing over the physical part; the sit-ups have him nervous. He could sure use a pat on the back from you and your "kick-butt" pep talk.
I know you know how much you're on my mind. I don't really need to tell you.
I miss you, son. I'll be making chocolate chip cookies soon and there'll be some with your name on them.
Watch over us, Anthony.
love

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.
