He was preceded in death by his older brother, Mark Sommerville; loving father, Trevon Sommerville; and grandfathers, Alvin Sommerville and CJ Bostice.

He was a dedicated Boy Scout for several years and an avid martial artist. He trained for years and was a first degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do. He picked up crochet hooks and needles at an early age and you could still find him wearing a bag or some creation that he was in the process of crocheting. He loved to travel and was always down for a cruise. He enjoyed gaming, building computers and cooking, he was always trying to make the perfect omelet.

Anthony was an avid craftsman, and he loved working with his hands. From working on gas powered bikes or vehicles, he was always tinkering, taking things apart and fixing them.

Anthony leaves behind not only his immediate family but also a circle of aunts, uncles, cousins, and close friends, all of whom will miss him dearly. May Anthony rest in peace and may his bigger than life personality never be forgotten.
