Charles "Anthony" Chambers

Charles "Anthony" Chambers passed on June 18, 2026, at the age of 23, having been born on March 6, 2003, in Redwood City, California, and residing in Lynnwood, Washington.

Anthony was only 23 when he was tragically taken from this world on June 18, 2026, in Everett, Washington. His life had only just begun. He was in love with a brilliant woman, surrounded by many friends, and living life at full speed.

Born in Redwood City, California on March 6, 2003, to Julie Ellen Chambers and Charles Douglas Chambers, Anthony was his mother’s “little honeybee”—a nickname that eventually became simply “Bee,” a special bond the two shared. He was baptized and received the Holy Eucharist in the Catholic Church, with his Aunt Jean and Uncle Joe lovingly standing beside him as his Godparents.

When he was 3 years old, the family moved from Hayward, CA to Lynnwood, WA, to be closer to his Grandmother Vicki and his Aunt Carla, Uncle Mike and cousins, Jackson and Jessica. They found a home and two of the best neighbors imaginable: Jim and Sandy Tobler, and Mike and Cindy Roth. They watched Anthony grow up—climbing trees, running around the neighborhood, and filling the street with laughter. Jim Tobler lovingly stepped into the grandfather role, as both of Anthony’s paternal grandfathers had passed before he was born.

Anthony loved playing baseball with his best friend, Andrew Lehmann, the boys first met when they were 4 years old in pre-school and stayed friends till the end. They spent years together playing in little league and remained brothers in every way that mattered. As kids, weekends were spent in a constant rotation of sleepovers and campfires between the Chambers and Lehmann homes.

Fishing with his father, Doug, was another of Anthony’s greatest joys. Whether they were out for halibut in Sekiu, salmon in Edmonds, or Dungeness crab anywhere they could drop a pot, those trips were their time together. Next-door neighbor Mike Roth called Anthony his “Lucky Charm,” convinced that his presence was the reason he caught fish—and even won a derby.

Anthony attended Lynnwood High School, where his track coach Stephany became a mentor and ignited his passion for running. It became his mantra for life. Running ten miles a day was normal for him—after work, in the snow, whenever he needed to feel alive. His energy was boundless, as was his appetite for homemade Mac and Cheese. He won a scholarship to Edmonds Community College where he attended classes for two year and ran Track, which he LOVED along with all his running mates, but college was not his journey.

He spent more than five years working as a waiter at Emory’s Restaurant, where he truly loved being part of the Team. They kept him well-fed with clam chowder, and he gained so much from the people/friends he worked alongside.

He was on the verge of a new chapter, speaking often about returning to college or learning a trade. He wanted more from life. He was young, uncertain, and somewhere along the way, he lost his compass. Sadly, his life ended far too soon.

Anthony is survived by his father, Charles Chambers; his mother, Julie Chambers; his sister, Summer Chambers; and his stepfather, Kelly Sullivan, along with Kelly’s children.

Our prayers for Anthony are endless and we pray that he has finally found peace in heaven. He will be deeply missed by all who loved him.

A Memorial Service for Anthony will be held at 10:00am on June 27, 2026, at Evergreen Funeral Home, 4504 Broadway, Everett, WA 98203
