     Anthony was a wonderful husband and was married to Brandie for 22 years.  He was also a great hands-on father to his children.  Anthony had several nicknames, but for 25 years “Ant” was the name that captured Brandie’s heart, and “Shorty” stood out among family and close friends.  “Ant” was a people person who loved hanging out with his family and friends.  He was sociable, honest, and fun to be around.  

     Anthony is preceded in death by his parents, Wilbert, Sr. and Margaret Loud; brother, Wilbert “Booney” Loud, Jr.; grandparents, Smith and Bessie Kelly, Johnny and Thelma Loud; and uncle, Warren Kelly.
