Obituary of Anthony Quiroz

Anthony Quiroz passed away Wednesday, August 7th at the age of 22, after a sudden illness. He was born January 10, 2002 to parents Jorge Guzman and Maria Leticia Quiroz and has been a lifelong resident of Lodi.

Anthony was a student of interior design and worked hard in school. He liked to play soccer and basketball, but he liked every sport and also enjoyed playing video games. He could be shy, but he was always warm; he liked making his family and friends laugh. Anthony was a great son and brother, and he was a role model to his nieces and nephews. 

Anthony is survived by his loving parents, Jorge Guzman and Maria Leticia Quiroz; siblings, Jorge Luis Quiroz, Carlos Quiroz, Amairani Guzman, grandmother, Rosa Elivar, and countless dear aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends. 

A Visitation will be held on Tuesday, August 20th from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. with a Recitation of the Rosary at 6:00 p.m. at Lodi Funeral Home, 725 S. Fairmont Ave., in Lodi. The Mass of Christian Burial will take place on Wednesday, August 21st at 11:00 a.m. at St. Anne’s Catholic Church, 215 W. Walnut Ave, with committal to follow at Cherokee Memorial Park, Hwy 99 and Harney Lane, both in Lodi. 

Señor, extraño la partida de Anthony que me ha dejado un gran vacio en mi corazón y que no siento que haya nada que lo llene por ahora; por eso vengo a ti y por fé te entrego mi dolor y tristeza. Dios mio te entrego a Anthony, creyendo que tú le has recibido y esta en un lugar seguro donde felizmente descansa. 

Ahora deseo que tú, Señor, cambies mi tristeza en agradecimiento por el tiempo que le diste de vida y ayudame a no olvidarme ni dejar de valorar a los que hoy aun están conmigo. 

Creo que la muerte no nos podra separar porque un dia estaremos juntos de nuevo y sera para siempre. Te amamos hasta el infinito Anthony. 

¡Jesus, en ti confío!

Amen
