Samson Anthony

Mr. Samson Anthony, a born-again Christian, ended his 95-year journey on Earth, and joined The Lord our Savior on February 20th, 2022. Mr. Anthony passed away peacefully in Chandler, AZ surrounded by his loving family.

Samson was born on 24th July 1926 in Lahore, Greater India (Pakistan). He was the youngest of five children. Unfortunately, his parents passed away when he was only six years of age and was then raised by his older siblings. He worked as a mechanical supervisor for the Pakistan Railway until the age of fifty-six.

He married Martha Joseph Anthony on November 1952.

He was blessed with three children from this union: Stella Tak, Simon Anthony and Robert Anthony.

He was raised in a devote Roman Catholic family and served Christ throughout his long blessed life. He was always punctual to attend all religious services and rarely missed services because of his health.

He immigrated to the United States of America in 2004, where he lived the rest of his life with his oldest son, Simon Anthony. His wife, Martha Joseph Anthony, departed to be with the Lord on September 9th, 2008.

Samson Anthony is survived by his oldest son Simon Anthony and his wife Clara Anthony, and his youngest son Robert Anthony and his wife Shazia Anthony. He was a great role model for his beloved grandchildren: Ryan Anthony and his wife Holly Anthony, Rehan Anthony, Michelle Anthony-Vaz and her husband Tanzer Vaz, Solomon Anthony, Michelle Anthony (his favorite), and Mayra Anthony. He also has four great-grandkids whom he loved dearly: Eliam Vaz, Emery Vaz, Merlin Anthony, and Marina Anthony.

Samson Anthony was very fond of the news and talk shows. He loved to watch urdu/hind movies and programs in his free time. He had a huge passion for food but was most fond of sweets and meat. He was also an avid walker and preferred to walk everywhere, even in the blistering heat of Arizona.
