Anthony James Robinson, born April 14, 1977, entered eternal rest on November 19, 2025, at the age of 48. He was born to his biological parents, Darlene Corsey and Fred D. Robinson, and was lovingly raised by his aunt, Corrina (Terrell) Gardner, and her husband, Elwood “Billy” Gardner, whom he called Mom and Dad. Though Corrina and Billy preceded him in death, along with his father Fred, their guidance and love shaped his life in lasting ways.

Anthony grew up in Gloucester County, New Jersey, and graduated from Deptford High School. In 1997, he earned a certificate in Baking and Pastry Arts from the Gloucester County Institute of Technology. He worked in various kitchens over the years and later transitioned into warehouse roles, where he continued to show determination and strong work ethic. 

Known to many as “Ant,” he was a kind-hearted and friendly soul who never met a stranger. His natural humor, listening ear, and warm spirit brought comfort and laughter to those who knew him. He enjoyed talking sports, spending time with friends, and freestyle rapping for fun. He also loved old-school slow jams—his wife often joked that he had an “old soul.”

Anthony loved to cook—especially on the grill—and was a devoted Tennessee Titans fan. He spent the last 10 years in Penns Grove, where he made his home and created lasting memories with his family.

He is survived by his loving wife, Latasha, their children Cashmire and Christopher, and stepson Isaiah. He is also survived by one sister on his mother’s side and four sisters on his father’s side (names to be added).

Special Mentions Anthony was surrounded by many extended family members and close friends who brought joy to his life and supported him over the years. Their memories with him will always be cherished.

He will be deeply missed, and his spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
