Anthony Ifill, Jr., age 45, of Las Vegas, NV, entered his eternal rest on Thursday, October 30, 2025. His memory will be forever cherished by his loving family and friends.
Anthony Ifill Jr. was born on September 20, 1980, to Angela and Anthony Ifill at Interfaith Hospital in Brooklyn, New York. Anthony attended P.S. 398 elementary school in Brooklyn before transferring to P.S. 155 in Queens. He went on to Virgil I. Grissom 226 Junior High and John Adams High School. After a move to Georgia, he attended Harrison High School in Kennesaw.
As a young child, Anthony was full of life and energy. His rambunctious spirit kept everyone on their toes, especially his grandparents, aunts, and uncles. Anthony had an undeniable love and bond with his mom that everyone could clearly see. He also spent many memorable days being one of three musketeers with his two cousins Naisha and Shanda: an unbreakable bond.
Over the years, Queens served as part of the foundation of who Anthony would become. Queens was his heart and soul. It was the place he loved and where he met friends that became brothers and family. In 1996, the Ifill family moved to Kennesaw, Georgia and Anthony went on to create new relationships and memories. He maintained his strong love for friends and family but added a passion for music. Anthony poured his heart into his rap music for years. He had a natural gift that was undeniable. He also made it clear to everyone that he was a basketball fanatic; with the Knicks being his team. Anthony made sure to share his love and knowledge for the sport with his younger brother Chris, he also shared a passion for Anime with Nick. As a teenager, he also spent many days helping grow his dad's business which would have a large influence on his career path as an adult.
Anthony went on to live out his dream of moving back to a big city. This time Las Vegas, Nevada with his fiancé Tiava, in Vegas. Tiava and Anthony built a successful and thriving commercial cleaning business and created a home with their two fur babies, Frankie and Bobby Brown. Even from afar, Anthony stayed close to his family visiting on holidays and special occasions. He was there every step of the way for his sister Stacey as she welcomed his first nephew Justice, into the world. He was so excited to be an uncle. Every year, you could always count on Anthony to visit when it was most important.
Anthony leaves his family to hold on to these precious memories. He leaves behind: his parents Angela and Anthony Ifill, sister Stacey (Jace Kaigler), brothers Nicholas and Christian (Hannah Ifill), Nephew Justice, Grandma, aunts, uncles, cousins, fiancé and a host of family and friends. He is predeceased by his grandparents Vincent Ifill, Jean Ifill, Ricardo Edwards and Uncle Alejandro Valentino Edwards.
