worked with Anthony when he first came to AZ from NM. Had many a good time especially after work and trips to the drags. He recently stopped by the house in May but I missed him. Tried contacting but no replies..text/phone. Sorry I missed you Buddy!

I miss that infectious laugh, I can still hear it. Anthony was such a great resource because he always remembered the who, what, when and where. He lived a fantastic life and I’m glad I got to know and work with Anthony.

To the entire Olivas family, please accept my heartfelt condolences for the loss of your brother, Anthony. He was a client of mine, a friend for the past 12years and for all eternity he will be the brother I never had. With Anthony’s help, we did some pretty amazing things at Big Two Toyota, his home away from home. I will always remember the times we would talk about all of you his family back in Albuquerque, the many types of music we both loved, shared meals at our favorite places in the east valley and the west but most important to me was the time I shared my family with him over a glass of Crown Royal. I will miss you my friend, we were supposed to spend our senior years talking about the good ole days which just happen to be any day or time we shared together. I truly loved you my brother, we had some great laughs and I’m so happy that you became a member of my family. I’ll continue to pray for you, if you will pray for those of us you left behind. God gave us a special gift when He made you. Thank you for what your life has meant to me. I’m a better person because of you. I’ll see you on the other side Anthony, have the Crown ready to pour.

I am so sad to hear of the loss of your brother, he was a dear friend of mine and will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I first met Anthony when we worked together years ago at Fann Toyota and I was fortunate enough to have stayed in touch with him all these years. We had some crazy times together in our younger years and some nice quiet lunches in our older years. Anthony was such a gentle soul, a good man with a huge heart. I hope you can find some comfort in knowing he was loved. No good byes from me Anthony , I’ll see you later friend.

Anthony. I miss you terribly. All those times you let me sex you down in the bathroom at the dealership will make me smile for the rest of my life.
I will miss your sweet lips.
