I debated on whether to post this.
I wanted people in our Community to know but at the same time it felt personal so I asked his fiancé for her permission and she said, “It’s totally fine with me.”
It was @anav_55 who passed away the other night in a car accident.
Someone lost a son, someone lost a fiancé, many lost a love one.
I lost a brother, Napoli lost a true supporter, a solider and the Serie A community lost a solid member.
Ant was one of my closest friends outside of Twitter. We talked outside of this app and outside of ⚽️ conversations. He was a homie I confided in and he in me.
He was always there for me. When he saw his people doing well he’d congratulate them and show so much love. We would share laughs all the time.
Most importantly he always looked out when he sensed I was going thru troubled times.
He showed this love to others on here as well, he genuinely cared for the people he called friends.
He loved Napoli so much and he loved our community and Serie A with a deep passion.
This is why I wanted the Napoli and Serie A Community to know of his passing because energy is real and your condolences and prayers to his family, loved ones and friends will be felt. 💐
I have a lot of feelings running in my head, heavy feelings that I will have to deal with.
We were suppose to meet up for pizza and a beer in a few weeks and now that won’t happen.
I’ll say this though, God took one of my truest friends and send him to Heaven where one day I’ll see him again. 💯
When I do I’ll give him a big hug and we’ll say, “Forza Napoli Sempre!!” 🌋 🩵
I love you brother and I know you’re with Christ. ✝️
Rest in peace now Ant and smile down to us all 🪦🕊️
KAT: "I don't know what it was but I just felt a calm and a peace that I don't know, had to be coming from the woman above
"I felt really confident…I felt like a kid. It was just fun out here. This is something as a kid you always dream about…to be in the NBA Finals
"All day…weird feeling. I felt like a kid getting ready to play in my Saturday and Sunday AAU games
"In a way I felt like I was seeing her in the stands
"It was really fun. It was really comforting
"Game 1 of the NBA Finals you're told how the pressure's gonna be…
"I don't know, it felt like a certain presence was here that was very comforting and very loving and I felt like I could have fun out here––in Game 1 of the NBA Finals…"
Shaq: Yes. Rest in peace to your beautiful mother"
Karl-Anthony Towns:
"I just felt a calm and a peace that had to come from the woman above ... I felt like I was a kid getting ready to go play my Saturday AAU games and Sunday AAU games. In a way, I felt like I was seeing [my mom] in the stands."
And because of Dom, I was introduced to @anav_55 thanks to the mutual interests we all shared. Even though I didn’t know him for that long or that much, it was still an honor to be your friend & get to know such a great person
I pray that your family finds peace
RIP amico💙
For someone who isn’t “athletic enough” Brunson in clutch puts this team and the entire city 🗽 on his back, top closer in the league.
