Anthony Lamar Petterson, was born December 29, 1982, to Agnes Clay in San Diego, CA. Due to unforeseen life challenges, Anthony was placed in the home of Clarence & Lishie Kelly at the age of 6 months old. A short time later, the Kelly’s welcomed his 4yr old sister Shonda, and they were raised together.
Anthony grew up with a strong sense of family values. After his dad, Mr. Kelly, passed in 2016, Anthony became the man of the house. He took great pride in caring for and looking after his mom. He loved living with her and keeping her company. If she was out shopping or something and gone for a while, he would call and check on her to make sure she was alright.
He also enjoyed hanging out in the driveway or the front yard with his close friends. He loved BLASTING his music in his room because he knew he would never have to worry about hearing his mom say “Anthony, turn down that music!” Lol! (We all know why!)
Anthony passed away on January 8, 2025.
Anthony is survived by his mom Lishie M. Kelly, birth mom Agnes Clay, sister Shonda Watts (Phil), nieces; Aalyah and Tacori Watts, and a host of extended family.
