Anthony Dillon Rapiere was born September 24, 1992. On Thursday night January 18th, 2018 God was looking down from Heaven and his eyes fell on our son. And Jesus took his hands and said “Come take your rest!”
Through his trials and temptations, Anthony accepted Christ during his time at Outreach Ministries of Alabama (OMA). Though he was not perfect, he was a beautiful person and loved by his family and friends. Anthony had a zest for life. He was bubbly and joyful. From an early age and throughout his short life, he made many friends. He never met a stranger regardless of their situation. Anthony’s passion was playing Baseball, where he started at age 6 and continued to play through high school on several Club/Travel Ball teams, and in College. On this journey, he made many friends.
