Anthony North was born May 19, 1974 to the late Roscoe and Jo Ellen North. Anthony was a giant yet gentle soul who graced this Earth with his endless compassion, kindness, laughter, charm, and character. He attended Sandusky High School where he was involved in wrestling, football, and band. After graduation in 1992, Anthony attended The Ohio State University and Ohio Business College. He worked at various Ford Plant locations for over 28 years following in the footsteps of his father. He was a member of UAW Local 1250.
Anthony loved cars, movies, dancing, answering all the Jeopardy questions correctly and he had a love-hate relationship with camping. Anthony enjoyed good company. He especially appreciated the life- long bonds and support he received from the residents of his childhood neighborhood 52nd Street whom he considered "family"; his lifelong high school friends; his lifelong work friends. There are way too many lifelong friends to even list...but know that Anthony commented many times on how he was beyond grateful to have you in his life.
Anthony is survived by his sisters, Jo Ellen (Jimmie) Johnson of KY; Kristin (Brandon) Taber of MI; Rhonda (Theo) North of NYC; and Rachael North of OH; special cousins who always went above and beyond for our beloved brother, including Germaine, Jennifer, Greg, and JaMarius to name a few; nephews and nieces, Jimmie, Jih'Mahria, Jai'Vion, and Jamal; uncles, Isiah (Jennifer) and Sylvester; aunts, Chris, Debbie, Dot and Frances; his god sons, Xavier Marquise and Okechuku; several extended family members; his Ford family; and numerous friends.
He was proceeded in death by both maternal and paternal grandparents, several cousins, aunts, and uncles.
