This Is Still A Shocker To Me i Feel Like it's Just a Nightmare. But It Hurts Because I Cant Wake Up From This Horible Dream. Anthony Was Such A Bright Kid , When Ever You Neeed Him He Was There.He Knew How To Cheer You Up. I Remember In 6th Grade How He Would Always Make Me Laugh And Allways Tease Me And Miguel:)<3& I Know How Crushed His Family Is Right Now But I Strongly Believe That He Watchin Down On All Of Us And Especialy His Beautiful Strong Family . He Wants Us To Remeber The Good Times Not The Bad Ones Becuase Now He Is An Angel Sent From Heaven To Watch Over Us He Is In Better Place Now .. Ilove You ANTHONY ALI RODRIGUEZ.10-28-95 TO11-4-10 Wil Always B Remembered

To the Family/Friends of Anthony:
I never had the opportunity to know your son, but I would like to extend my condolences to you. Hearing this on the news just tore my heart out as I used to teach for OCPS and dearly love the children. Now, being a LEO, I can only hope that your family will get justice. May your family, somehow, find peace again. Rest in sweet heavenly peace, Anthony.

There are no words to use to soothe your pain. The loss of a child is never something we get over. Anthony was a wonderful kid and a good friend. My son enjoyed playing with him and always had nice things to say about him.

You are all a strong family with strong bonds. I have seen you through the years and your strength will be there now to hold each other up.

Anthony was a unique and wonderful young man and we are all blessed for having known him and sharing our lives and our children with him.

We extend our sympathies to each and everyone of you. We are here for you - Monica, Cesar, Al, Ari - our hearts bleed with yours today.

My son Christian adored your son. The night before this happened they both said "I love you bro" to each other. I believe he has been assigned to my son as an Angel...and hope he can make life a little easier for him. My heart goes out to you Jessica and George and our home is open to you and your family any time just to cry, talk, and enjoy the memories our boys shared together...

Anthony,to not be able to hear your voice or to give you a hug kills me. You were a great kid, a son any parent would be proud of. Now that your gone I ask one thing of you and that is to guide my son Will, one of your best friends, in everything that he does. We love you and miss you very much. To Jessica and George im so very sorry this had to happen to good people like you, you have always taken care of Will as your own and I appreciate you more than you will ever know. My son is your son, my home your home, and my friendship is always here for you. thankyou for everything and I thank God for giving me and my family the oppotunity to know and love your son. RIP Anthony

Lamentamos mucho la perdida de su ser querido. Deseamos compartir con su familia estos pensamientos biblicos que son de gran consuelo.

Revelacion 21:4 "Y limpiara toda lagrima de sus ojos, y la muerte no sera mas, ni existira ya mas lamento ni clamor ni dolor. Las cosas anteriores han pasado."

Hechos 24:15 "y tengo esperanza en cuanto a Dios... de que va a haber resurreccion"

Deseamos puedan recibir consuelo de esta amorosa esperanza de nuestro Creador Jehova.

Anthony, you were a real inspiring kid with lots of potential. Finally a mature middle school-er in my mind (when you were in my class last year). I think about what happened to you if not daily, weekly. I'm sorry. God bless you and your family my boy. Mr. Jones.

I didn’t know you or Miguel as well as I would’ve liked. But I remember you and your kindness toward me, even when most others were inclined to be mean to me. You remained kind. I know I’m posting this almost a decade late. But I got to thinking about you and your brother recently. I wish I had the opportunity of knowing you better. And I’m so sorry this happened. God bless your family. Rest easy.
