from a young age by his father Roger R. Gillespie and Kelly Ann Gillespie, who loved him as her own; his mother Patricia Chaplin, his brother David Blatzheim and his three sisters Kelly Marie Simmons, Samantha Knight and Amber Lynn Gillespie.
Always a thoughtful and caring son, loving father and supportive brother, he was also an incredible friend to those he grew close to.
Anthony was a free spirit. He was always happiest in nature while doing the things he loved. He could often be found fishing, or trying to catch fish with his father. He also enjoyed golfing, camping and simply appreciating Earth for all its beauty.
Anthony brought light to all he encountered with an infectious laugh and charming humor. Anthony valued family more than anything. He was held dear in the hearts of many extending far beyond blood or marriage. Anthony will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
Survived by his beautiful daughter Chloe Lynn Gillespie, raised and cherished
