Surnames: Royce, Hooper, Barrios, Usener Anthony Lyle Royce passed from this life on November 4, 2002 in Cascade Locks, Oregon. He was 19 years of age. Services will be held on Saturday, November 9, 2002 at 11:00 a.m. at the Cascade Locks High School Gym followed by graveside services at Cascade Locks Cemetery. He was born in Portland, Oregon on April 4, 1983. Anthony is loved and missed by his family. He was a "Big Brother" in Cascade Locks, and mentored younger children of the city in many different ways. He assisted with the Food Bank, refereed basketball, softball and T-ball games and was easily recognizable in the community by the smile on his face. At different times of his life, Anthony was the Cascade Locks Middle School Student of the Month, the best soccer player on the Middle School Soccer Team, and easily the most naturally talented musician at Cascade Locks School. Even after his student career at the school had ended, he volunteered his personal time assisting Dick Dramer, the school music teacher, playing and "jamming" on his bass clarinet. When he wasn't doing that, he could usually be found "updating" his software. Anthony loved computers, and eventually became very good at computer repair. More than any of this, Anthony is remembered for the good he did on a very personal level towards his family and friends. His memory does not conjure impressions of lingering bitterness towards life. He will be remembered for his LOUD alarm clock, the way he tossed horseshoes, the way he said, "I am proud of you". He will always be remembered as an Encourager. He blest us with 19 years of life; that towards the end was filled with confidence and reassurance and peace. We love you Anthony, and we thank the Lord that we had you in our lives. He is survived by his father, Dale of Hood River, Oregon; his mother, Elodia of Cascade Locks, Oregon; his step mother, Glenda of Hood River, Oregon; his brother, Joel of LaGrande, Oregon; his sister, Rochelle of Cascade Locks, Oregon; two step brothers, Scott Hooper of Parkdale, Oregon and Brett Hooper of Hood River, Oregon and his god brother, Caesar Walton of Minnesota; his grandparents Joel and Dora Barrios of Napa, California and Ena Royce of Navarre Beach, Florida; uncles Ben Barrios of Napa, California, Barry Royce of Oklahoma and Randy Royce of Fairfax, Virginia; aunts Vickie Barrios, Karen Usener, Rebecca Royce and Robbie Royce and many cousins.
