Still thinking about you my brother. You were my first real friend when I moved to NC, while everyone bullied me for my thick accent and name, you would always come in my defense. One of the kindest souls I have ever met. I still cry to this day thinking about how you're not here with us. You are still loved and appreciated and you will forever live in my memory.

RIP Cuz!!!! got a lot of memories of you growing up in my home on Staten Island at Nannie Horns house. You are loved and will be missed dearly..... there are not enough words to describe the pain we are all feeling....May you rest in peace.

Even though he's gone his memory still remains in our hearts. His smile and face will never fade. We think of him as we go on each day. The good times we remember and the days spent

We miss & love you Anthony. You are always in our thoughts. Someday we will meet again in a better place. For now you are in our hearts & always missed & so much loved. With us always

As Anthony's high school principal, I always appreciated his willingness to converse with me like a young adult. The look in his eyes always told me he was listening and understood my desires for him to be successful. I remember well our last conversation when he assured me he was going to make me proud as a military man. He did by just committing himself to our country and then serving. My heart has been heavy since learning of Anthony's death. I will miss his quiet, kind smile and what I know was a very tender, caring heart. Please know that I am remembering his grandmother and other loved ones and friends who are also grieving at this time. I know I join the administrative team and office staff at Panther Creek High in sharing our sympathy to the family and expressing our love for Anthony.

My heart goes out to all who are devastated as much as I am by this horrible tragedy. word cant express how much I will mourn the loss of this special boy. I hate knowing that I wont ever hug or talk to Fico again. I wish i could have said goodbye.But more than that, I wish he wasn't gone. forgive my grammar, but my eyes are full of tears. This a difficult reality to face. I honestly loved him like family. I believed in his potential so much that I took his friendship for granted. If anyone is able to reach out to his grandmother please do. I can only imagine how hard this must be for her.

I can't even begin to explain the pain i feel knowing your gone and I will never get to see you again. I love you Anthony Thomas Fico, and there is so many memories in my house of you. I still have Lion King in my 5-disc DVD player that I made you watch bc you knew I loved it and you were telling me you were scared of it when you were little, and I was like whatttt?? haha<3. You will always hold a special place in my heart that no one will ever touch. I just wish you were here for me to tell you that I love you and wish we could work it out. But I know we will meet again. Can you tell my friend Max, me and Ashley say hello, and say hey to my cousin Christy and my papa. Always wanted you to meet them :). I love you Anthony. Look down on us and protect us.

It has been 6 1/2 years since we lost you. I still come here to read your obituary every once in a while. I miss you like crazy! You were the light of my life back then. You were my protector and my best friend. You would have done and did everything in your power for me. You had this funny way of being my night in shining armor any time I needed rescuing. You will forever stay in my memories. It has been so long since I last felt your arms around me, but it still feels like yesterday. I thought our adventures would last forever. I held on to what little piece of you I still had up until it fell off my neck in a parking lot in 2015. Remember that day we went to the mall and we were goofing around with my cousin and a buddy of yours? I went and sat on the bench and you disappeared only to reappear with a small Reeds bag. You bought that bracelet I had been eyeing for weeks. The white gold one with the pink sapphire heart. When I heard of your passing, I moved the pendant to a necklace to keep you closer to my heart. Maybe losing it was a sign that I had to let go. Hod has a funny way of doing things like that to push us forward. A year later, I ended up marrying my husband. We have 3 girls now and theyre such a hoot. Youd love them. I got back in touch with Adrian today, and it brought up the memories of us all having a blast that night around the fire and riding the 4wheeler. I guess thats what made me come here again. I miss you dearly Fico!! Hope youre enjoying heaven! Maybe Ill see you again one day. Give my grandparents hugs for me. It never gets any easier. Love you!
