Roy Pangle Obituary
Anthony was born on March 30, 1977, in Dalton, Georgia. Raised in foster care, he endured a difficult childhood that shaped his resilience and strength. Despite early hardships, Anthony persevered and graduated from Northwest High School in 1995. He honorably served his country in the United States Army for two years, a source of pride throughout his life.
Anthony worked in construction and various maintenance trades and was a member of New Hope Baptist Church in Acworth, Georgia. Above all, he loved his children deeply and took pride in being their father and grandfather.
Like many who faced great struggles, Anthony battled addiction during his life. His family finds comfort in knowing that he is now at peace and finally at rest.
