Obituary

Antonio Shakur Gamble (also known as Tonio, AG, and Alpha Ghost Productions), 21, of Erie, PA, died unexpectedly on Friday, April 26, 2019. He was born on November 7, 1997 in Erie to LaTonya Gamble.

Antonio was a member of Second Baptist Church. He graduated from Central High of Erie in 2016 and attended college at Robert Morris University. He was a spiritual, intellectual, athletic, multi-talented, funny, and charming young man.

Antonio never got into trouble and always moved to his own beat. He loved going to the YMCA and playing basketball with his bro's, Troy Jr., Mario, Austin, Desean, Devon, and Alex. Antonio was of few words but he loved his family and was loved by them. His nephews, Dorian Stepp, Drew Kaczenski; and niece Scarlett Lowe meant everything to him.

Antonio had a smile that will never be forgotten. He was filled with joy that could brighten the worst of days; which is why these days are so dark. Antonio will forever be loved and missed; he will live in our hearts and minds. May his soul and mind rest in peace as he rests safely in GOD's arms and is reunited with his beloved Mama Dee. Amen.

He was preceded in death by his maternal grandmother, Linda D. Smith Gamble; great grandmother's, Betty J. Smith and Luvenger Gamble; and great grandfathers, Steve M. Smith Sr. and Eligah Gamble. He lost his uncle James Allen Jr. one day after his own death.

He leaves to cherish his memory, his mother LaTonya Gamble; sister AnTanequia Akins; brother Anthony Akins; grandfather Elijah Gamble Sr; great grandmother Ms. Johnson; two uncles Elijah J. Gamble Jr., and Hardin Moss Jr; aunt Keshia Simmelkjaer; his father figures, Shone P., Yakeen, and Pancho; and multiple siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.

Friends may visit with the family at Second Baptist Church, 757 East 26th Street, on Saturday, May 4th, 2019, from 10 AM to 12 PM, where a home going celebration will immediately follow with Rev. Lamont Higginbottom, eulogizing and Rev. Darrold A. Hobson, officiating. Interment will be at Erie Cemetery.
