His sister paid tribute to Anthony by sharing a picture of him as a child on social media along with the words: "I didn't want a brother!
"I wanted them to take you back [and] get me a sister! But growing up when it was just us 2 was the best.
"We did kill each other but you did still play barbies with me and house and I even dressed you up in my dresses.
"As we got older our worlds where two different places. But you were never too far away.
"Now I'd do anything to have my brother back and now our worlds are too far apart."
