Our beloved Anthony Richard Andrade, 33, died during a heroic act Sunday, Jan. 29, 2012. He was born to Sara and Richard Andrade of Yolo on June 24, 1978. He proudly attended Laugenour Elementary School, Douglass Junior High and graduated in 1996 from Woodland High School. After graduation, Anthony lived in Hayward and attended CSU Hayward, where he pledged with Delta Chi Fraternity.
Anthony was a self-employed massage therapist and worked in food service at Denny's, Ruby Tuesdays, and on a Hawaiian tour cruise ship. He was blessed through his great friends and got to visit places throughout the United States, Europe, the Bahamas, Hawaii and Mexico. He even lived in New York City for a short time.
Anthony was a loving, kind, intelligent, hilarious, vibrant, inspiring, soulful and a peacemaker. He showed love to his friends and family through hugs, quirky nicknames and random visits.
Anthony is survived by his parents, Sara and Richard Andrade; sisters, Marcella Fitzgerald, Elena Andrade, Suzanne Andrade; brother, Arturo Andrade and wife Maria Barboza; nephews, Magnus Fitzgerald, Joaquin Hendrickson, Richard Cassius Andrade, Angel Cervantes, Peter Gomez, Mark Gomez, Gabriel Gomez; nieces, Sara Fitzgerald, Natalia Andrade, and Felicia Gomez. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Jose and Maria Andrade; aunt Frances, and uncles Rafael Lemus, Andrew Andrade, and Louie Andrade Sr.
His presence will never be forgotten. We love you. And as he would say, "RICH."
A celebration of life is scheduled for 1 p.m., Friday, Feb. 3, at Woodland United Fellowship, 240 N. West St. The Woodland Funeral Chapel is assisting the family with arrangements.

I met Anthony when he lived with my granddaughter, Tabitha Long. He was such a great guy. While I didn't know him well, all of the times I saw him were always fun and made me want to see him more. He will live in the hearts of everyone who knew and loved him. I'm not sure if he knew my name as I was Grandma.

My heart is broken for my family, for their son, brother, uncle, cousin. we had so much fun at the last reunion. and the pig killing. He was the light of the party. He's in a better place...He's making GOD laugh! Will keep all the "ANDRADE" family in my prayers.

Aww Anthony Glamazon...my heart aches so for you. I wish, I wish, I wish that you were still here. I wish that the accident never happened, I wish that you and Brooklyn survived...I wish a lot of things but mostly, I wish I could see your face again and get the Glamazon hug. I will never, ever forget you or your smile, your voice, your Thor laugh. And I will never forget your selfless and courageous act of trying to save my nephew. I know you both are in Heaven now, looking upon us, hanging out with Amy W...but it doesn't make the pain of your loss any easier to bear. I think of you both often and find myself unable to sleep...my life is a daze and all I can think of is why? I will always love you and miss you forever...

Sorry to Arturo and Family. I've worked with you Arturo for a few short years and I am simply amazed at what a well rounded young man you are at such an early age. You are a great Counselor and a tremendously great influence on these troubled teens we work with. While I didn't know Anthony, judging by your amazing character, I am completely convinced he must have been amazing influence toward you and others as a brother, son, family member or friend...

You were there when I needed you without hesitation, as you were with so many. I will never forget you, that smile, and that awesome laugh. I truly hope that I'm blessed to be reunited with you again in Paradise some day, and we can look back on this sometimes cruel and unfair world with nothing but smiles and laughter for eternity along with all those that love and miss you this day as well. May you rest in peace primo. Love your cousin Frankie

Losing family is always difficult. They say time heals all wounds...but the scar is always there. I never knew Anthony but through his brother Arturo and the Andrade family I know he will live forever in the hearts of all the people he encountered.
