Anthony R. Moser, age 5, passed away on Sept. 22, 2014 at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Marshfield.
Anthony was born in Weston, WI on Aug. 26, 2009 to Jim Moser Jr. and Meghan Ellis of Irma, WI. He was a kindergartener at Kate Goodrich Elementary School.
Anthony was a happy kid that had a spunky personality. He would always greet his family and friends with a big hug and a sweet smile on his face. He loved playing with his cousins, and especially his best friend, Aiden. You could always hear Anthony say his favorite phrase, “Bye love you, alligator, crocodile, catfish, meow-meow.”
He really enjoyed spending time at the local parks, riding his bicycle, swinging and “camping” at his grandma’s land and going to grandpa and grandma’s house down the street. Anthony was a huge fan of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Leo was his favorite), Avengers and Iron Man. His favorite food was pizza (just like the turtles). He loved to help his dad work on race cars and loved to help anyone with anything. He enjoyed playing on his grandpa’s lawnmowers. Anthony also enjoyed watching races and going four-wheeling. His two favorite companions were his dog, “Snoopy” and his guinea pig, “Iron Man”. Anthony adored his family and loved his sister, Abigail, very much. He will be sadly missed by all who knew him, and those that were able to spend these five special years with him.
