Oliver David Anthony

Oliver was a graduate from Mansfield Senior High in May of 2014. He was known for his amazing smile, contagious laughter, and love of life. Those who knew him described a young man who lived an inspiring life and taught life lessons without speaking a word. His life was miraculous and impactful. From early on in his life, Oliver inspired others to focus on his abilities, and to believe in the impossible. His life was one of defeating the odds and proving that he wrote his own story, and we were all just privileged to be a chapter in his book of life.

He is survived by his mother, Cathy Crum-Anthony of Mansfield, OH; father, Trent Anthony of Mansfield, OH and fiancée, Leslie Newland of Shelby, OH; and brother, Michael Anthony of Cincinnati, OH; grandmother, Phyllis Crum of Mansfield, OH and many aunts, uncles and cousins.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Robert and Gloria Anthony; and Jack Crum.
