Anthony Tavon McRae

A Glance at the Life of: Anthony Tavon McRae, born September 3, 1997, In Bridgeton, New Jersey to Kayshawn Allen and Chanel Marie Holley. The Lord called Anthony home on October 2, 2018. He graduated from Milford Senior High School in 2015, where he played on the Milford Buccaneer's football team as a linebacker. Anthony loved spending time with his family. Anthony was very fond of his fiancé, Eyevett Lovett, and his daughter Aria Kai-Lyn Sirmons. Anthony was known for his big bear hugs, big old smile and playful spirit. He especially liked torturing his grand moms Anna and Laura in a silly, fun-loving way, every chance he got. In his spare time Anthony enjoyed hyping up cars with his Dad, building go carts and riding on their four-wheelers. Anthony liked to fish and draw on his down time. As everyone already knows, he loved to stay stuck to the womb “his mother, Chanel”. Anthony was excitedly awaiting the arrival of his second blessing, his baby girl, Tavah Chanel McRae. He spent a lot of time with his favorite cousin, Alex Henry, growing up, they were more like brothers and “dem boys” got into everything, we all know that’s right! In his later years, you could find him and his best friend, Donald Pierre, hanging out most of the time, cracking jokes, going to the gym, chillin’, and God only knows what else, that will remain between the three of them. Anthony also enjoyed hanging out with the grown folk, his uncle, William “Stink” burning the midnight oil and them county roads. Nephew was always trying to hook old Uncle up with the ladies, and whatever else they could find to get into, once again, only Anthony, Uncle Stink and God knows what else, that too will remain between the three of them. Anthony had two favorite Aunts that he often spoke about and liked to stay up under whenever they were around each other: Aunt Gale, who would always protect and cuddled and straighten him out the good old fashion way and Aunt Tash Matthews, who would always let him get his own way. I will always remember: Words from Anthony’s Father, Siblings and Grandmom Father –I will always remember the good times that me and my son Anthony had spending time together harassing my wife, Anthony’s Mother, horse playing, hyping up cars, laughing and enjoying each other’s company. I will always remember my son’s handsome smile that he shared so generously with everyone. Laura – I will always remember how Anthony would smack me on my backside, just to hear me scream, “Stop An---thony!” Anna-I will always remember how Anthony and I would text each other all the time, back and forth, morning, noon and night. Kayshawn- I will always remember riding, horse playing, cracking jokes and most of all hanging out with my big brother. Justin- I will always remember how Anthony and I called ourselves stealing a go-cart only to find out that it didn’t even run. Things like this that silly brothers did. Grandmom Anna –I will always remember how one Thanksgiving dinner when Anthony was only one year old, his Uncle Charlie gave him an entire turkey leg. What no one expected to see was that he could and did handle the whole thing! All by himself! Robert- I will always remember how Anthony would take me just about everywhere he went, and how he would always say, “Boy I raised you!” Anthony leaves to cherish his memory, his parents, Kayshawn and Chanel Holley; grand parents, William and Laura Holley of Bridgeton, NJ, and Robert and Ann McRae of Richland, NJ; fiancé, Eyevett Lovett; daughter, Aria Kai-Lyn Sirmons, both of Greenwood, DE; siblings, Amber Anderson, Allen Williams, and Azah and Amir Holley, all of Bridgeton, NJ, Tyshawn and Takia McRae of Richland, NJ, Justin and Joshua Johnson of Milford, DE, Anna, Laura, Robert, and Kayshawn Holley, Jr., all of Greenwood, DE; uncles, William Brown (Neicy) of Bridgeton, NJ, Joseph Brown (Pricilla) of Dover, DE, Hodges Brown (Melonie) of Camden, DE, Charles Wynder (Iris) of Seabrook, NJ, Jerrod Wynder (Desiree) of North Carolina, Dwayne Wynder (Toya) of Bridgeton NJ, Gary Brown of West Palm Beach, FL, Robert McRae, Jr. (Sheniek) of Malaga, NJ; aunts, Rev.
