--- Anthony, age 44, passed away leaving behind a legacy of unwavering devotion, courage, and kindness. Born November 10, 1980, he dedicated 20 years, 8 months, and 1 day of his life in service to his country, standing as a protector and defender of the freedoms we hold so dear. Beyond his uniform, Anthony had a heart of gold, always ready to lend a helping hand, even if it meant giving the shirt off his back. He faced battles many will only read about in books, yet he carried himself with strength, resilience, and a quiet grace. Beneath his tough exterior was a fiercely loyal soul—once you earned a place in his heart, you had it for life. Though he had no spouse or children, his love knew no bounds, especially for his beloved dogs, who brought him joy and companionship like no other. He was preceded in death by his parents, Toni Pinelli and Raymond Pinelli, leaving behind his sister, Danielle, who carries his memory forward with love and pride. His absence leaves an unfillable space, yet his spirit will remain in the stories shared, the lives he touched, and the unwavering bond of family. Rest easy, AJ, knowing you are cherished and loved forever. ---
