Anthony Anderson Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Boyd-Panciera Family Funeral Care - Pembroke Pines Chapel on Jan. 13, 2026.
Anthony Horace Anderson, born January 2, 1954, in Kingston, Jamaica, to Victoria Gabbidon and Gerol Anderson, was affectionately known as Tony to some and Pops to others. On January 11, 2026, Anthony peacefully transitioned into eternal rest.

Born into a gifted family, Anthony was widely known for his musical talent, especially his remarkable ability to play the keyboard. Music was not simply something he did; it was part of who he was. A devoted musician and a hardworking man, Anthony carried rhythm, wisdom, and purpose wherever he went.

As he transitioned, he was reunited with his beloved mother and father, his brother Garth, and his stepfather, George Epps.

Anthony's loving presence remains with his devoted wife, Bertha; his brother, Glenroy; his sisters, Pam, Patsy, Ruth, Christine, and Sandra; daughter, Sharri Antrell; and his cherished grandchildren, Nevaeh Arnelle, Kenton Ali, Serenity Victoria, and Kenneth Eli. He also leaves behind nieces, nephews, and a host of friends who became family.

Known for his fast talking and even faster walking, Anthony had a gift for pouring sweet knowledge into anyone willing to listen. He often encouraged others to "live your life," reminding them not to allow money to consume their joy or distract them from what truly matters. An advocate for healthy living and healthy eating, yet always willing to share a burger with his daughter, Anthony lived with balance, intention, and love.

His legacy lives on through music, wisdom, laughter, and the many lives he touched.
