Leo Anthony Valerio

Leo Anthony Valerio, known to many as Anthony and 7teen, passed away on January 6, 2026, at the age of 20. Though his time on this earth was far too short, Anthony lived boldly, passionately, and with a heart full of love.

Anthony was a young man full of life, energy, and fearlessness. As a child, he was adventurous and daring, often jumping off anything he could find, attempting backflips, and living without hesitation. That same courage followed him into adulthood, shaping the person he became.

As he grew older, Anthony discovered a deep passion for making music. He poured his heart into rapping and soon became known as 7teen, a name that reflected both his creativity and individuality. Music was more than a hobby, it was his voice, his outlet, and his dream. Alongside his music, Anthony also launched his own clothing brand, Really Rich, driven by ambition and a desire to build something meaningful.

Above all else, Anthony was a devoted brother. He deeply loved and cared for his younger siblings, Anayeli and Deric. Everything he did, his grind, his dreams, his sacrifices, was for them. His love for family and friends was unwavering, and his presence brought laughter, protection, and pride to those closest to him.

Anthony is survived by his loving mother, Rebecca Valerio, and father, Salvador Valerio Sr.; his siblings Amanda Frias, Thomas Herrera, Salvador Valerio Jr., Anayeli Garcia, and Deric Camarillo. He will be forever remembered by his family, friends, and all who knew him for his fearless spirit, creative soul, and the love he gave so freely.

Though he is no longer with us physically, Anthony’s legacy lives on through his music, his dreams, and the lives he touched. He will always be remembered, always loved, and never forgotten.

Rest in peace, Anthony.

Forever 7teen.
