DWIGHT ANTHONY Obituary


DWIGHT LEWIS ANTHONY, SR.  
Entered eternal rest on July 20, 2020. Born to the late Geraldine L. Harris. Dwight was a military veteran of the USMC and Army, as well as an extraordinarily talented multi-instrument musician and singer. Dwight lived the past 20 years in Minnesota and like the prodigal son, was making his way back to DC; may his music live on. He will be held in the hearts of his wife, Cynthia; children, Dwight Jr., Jarreau, Jose, Kalen, Atira; grandchildren, Jarreau Jr., and Isabella; sisters, Katrina, Sharon (Sammy) and Karen (Robert); aunts, Patrice Huntley (Carlos), and Frances Anthony; uncle, Richard Jackson; and a host of family and friends. A Celebration of Life will be held via Zoom August 22, 2020. Please contact Sharon Harris, [email protected].

Dwight- upon meeting me 1st time few yrs ago-(I AM HIS YOUNGEST SISTER/KAREN'S
Husband. HE RESPECTFULLY ASK ME TO HAVE A CHAT WITH HIM & HE SUBTLY BUT FIRMLY SAID TO ME- " YOU KNOW
I MAY LIVE IN MINNESOTA - BUT I HAVE NO PROBLEM ANY GETING HERE/DC FOR
MY SISTER- MY FAMILY". His Face expression was initially serious- then he
SMILED & HUGED ME WITH THE THE WORDS WELCOME TO THE FAMILY. THAT'S how I LOVED To REMEMBER Him
Then & NOW & I SHALL ALWAYS THINK OF
THAT MAN IN THE PRESENT TENSE.
WAS EASY TO WITNESS- WE BOTH ARE
ALPHA PROTECTORS OF OUR FAMILY/
