Anthony Ayala Obituary
Anthony was a devoted son to Karen Ayala and the beloved brother of Nicole Duqmaq (Feeras) and Danielle Almond (Jeremiah). He was affectionately known as "Uncle Tony" to his cherished niece and nephew, Zane and Sofia Duqmaq, with whom he shared countless memories. He was preceded in death by his father, Michael Ayala.
Born and raised in Rohnert Park, California, Anthony had an unmatched work ethic and a lifelong passion for selling cars. No matter where life took him, he always found his way back to the dealership, where his charisma and dedication shined through.
Outside of work, Anthony's happiest moments were found outdoors, especially on the water. He shared unforgettable adventures fishing with his dad and close friends, traveling to Mexico and Alaska to catch record breaking fish and some of the greatest game of all time. These trips were filled with laughter, challenge and triumph and were among his favorite stories to tell.
Some of his happiest moments were spent taking Zane and Sofia fishing at Lake Mead. Though the fish didn't always bite, the laughter, love, and quality time together mattered most.
Anthony will be remembered for his intelligence, fun-loving spirit, his generous heart, and the joy he brought to all who knew him. His presence will be deeply missed, but his memory will continue to shine brightly in the lives of his family and friends.
A service will be held on September 11, 2025. Please contact Nicole at [email protected]
