Anthony Bryant is my friend and always will be. We met at Knoxville College (KC) we were on the basketball team, he was the starting point guard and I was the starting 2 guard,we were interchangeable, more importantly a life long friendship was born, after college we kept in contact and through my love for Ant.my relationship with Jesus Christ was renewed and for that I will always be greatful. So in closing I will say take your rest my brother, I will see you again 🙏🙏🙏
Anthony "Head"Bryant, was friend and Teammate. He was the starting point guard on the Number One, 4A 1978 High Boys Basketball Team in the State of Florida. Ant 🐜 was spectacular and a crowd pleaser. Small in stature but with a huge Heart ❤️ He was from the beginning until the very end, the most positive thinking and God fearing person I knew. Ant was raised in a Christian Home and confessed at an early age. He was very humble ( except on the Basketball court) and very approachable. He was a great friend for over 50 years. No matter what his circumstances was, he was always positive, greeting me whenever he saw me with "What's Happening, BW!!!" In later years, Ant would Attend Local Football and Basketball games, High School and College. He was always out supporting the youth athletics. He will be greatly missed by his Son, Sister, family, teammates and friends. In closing, as much as Ant talked about the Good Lord, Jesus The Christ, as much as Ant fervantly prayed to Jehovah in Yeshua's name , as much as Ant believed in life after death, if he is not in Heaven, ain't nobody going!!! God Bless, my point guard and long time friend. God Bless the Bryant , Ward and Gilley families in the mighty name of Yeshua. Amen and Shalom
