    Everyone has their opinion in this situation. First, I would like to send my condolences yo the family. I’ve know Anthony since he was a newborn his already been a great guy, great son, father and friend. I’m sure he is taking this very hard and to know he has time facing him is not a big encouraging to him. He would never hurt anyone. So please don’t share your negative remarks all we can do is pray for all involved. Our hearts are broke that know him as we do. I know the family is torn apart, but can we please keep your negative comments to yourself. He has family too. GOD BLESS EACH AND EVERYONE OF THESE PEOPLE I PRAY IN YOUR NAME. COMFORT, STRENGTH AND COURAGE FOR THE DAYS AHEAD.
    ANTHONY WE LOVE YOU AND WILL ALWAYS. PRAYING HONEY.

    Wolf, if he had a sip of alcohol, & chose to drive, he broke the law, tell someone that when the police calls you & tells you, you’re loved one had been killed due to someone drinking, I’m not judging, I, like others, are just telling people to stop, we’re all guilty @ one point of time of something. It has ruined more than 1 or 2 peoples lives, there’s a trickle down effect, it ruined those in the other car plus their families plus all his families, forever.

    Mick! Just because some one has a drink don’t mean they are drunks. Two beers could have been all Anthony had. We don’t know. Drinking and driving is wrong and I’m sure Anthony is regretting his decision. It’s a sad loss to everyone involved. I pray for the families of all of them. I also pray for people who judge others in the way mick has done. Responsibilities lie with each of us. We must think on that.

    Very sad story. I, like Mick agree they also need to look at texting and driving. I don’t know how many times I have seen ppl either run off the road from texting or crossing the center line while texting. It has gotten so dangerous. PPl will sit at green lights with traffic backing up to read or send texts. Something really needs to be done about this.

    My prayers to the family for their loss. And to everyone out there drinking and driving this will happen to you if you drink and drive you will go to prison for at least 15 years but in this guys case he will probably get 20 because he injured another lady as well don’t do it young people

    Drunks, a scourge to society…25 years in prison, no more alcohol for you…next on the list- texting while driving… make the penalties severe or there will be more injuries and death from those who don’t care…
