Anthony LaShell Bryant

Anthony LaShell Bryant was born on October 23, 1964, in Dallas, Texas, to Charles and Madelyn Bryant. He attended A. Maceo Smith High School and proudly graduated with the Class of 1982.

Anthony departed this life on August 26, 2026, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, hard work, and cherished memories that will remain in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.

On February 6, 2010, Anthony married Yolonda Gaines in Iowa. Their journey together began years before their marriage, and for more than 25 years, they shared a life filled with love, companionship, family, and countless cherished memories. Together, they built a bond that was strengthened by the many experiences they shared and the love they had for one another.

Anthony was a hardworking man who took great pride in his work. At the time of his passing, he was employed by Ryder Trucking. He had a passion for riding motorcycles, driving trucks, working with electronic gadgets, and fixing cars. He was a hands-on person who enjoyed figuring things out, solving problems, and putting his skills to work. His interests and talents reflected his curious spirit and his ability to find joy in the things he loved.

Anthony was preceded in death by his beloved mother, Madelyn Bryant.

He leaves to cherish his memory his devoted wife, Yolonda Bryant; their children, Nyree Reed (Kevin), Naylynn Gaines, and Anthony McDonald; his daughters prior to their union, Xymora Bryant and Ashli Glenn; and his granddaughter, Madelynn Spillman.

He is also survived by his father, Charles Bryant; siblings, Eyquem Bryant, Andrea Bryant, Nicholas Bryant, Ester Coleman, Matthew Berry, Anita Berry, and John Berry; along with a host of nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends.

Though Anthony is no longer with us in body, the memories he created, the lives he touched, and the love he shared will live on through his family and friends. His presence will be deeply missed, but his memory will forever remain a treasured part of the lives of all who were blessed to know him.

Rest peacefully, Anthony. Your life was a gift, your memory is a treasure, and your love will remain forever.
