Anthony Alvarado, 14, of China Spring, passed away suddenly on Saturday, July 20, 2024 due to injuries sustained in an ATV accident.
Celebration of Life Service: 2PM Saturday, July 27 at China Spring High School Gymnasium
Anthony was born November 3, 2009 in Waco. He attended China Spring Schools and was a member of the in-coming China Spring Freshmen Class. Anthony was all about basketball; basketball was definitely his passion. Not only did he play at China Spring but also played for Destined for Greatness, an AAU basketball organization. Anthony was known amongst his teammates as having the “best shot.” He also loved attending Dallas Mavericks games. He was also an Honor Roll student.
If you knew Anthony, you can certainly attest to a few of these traits: he loved Raisin’ Canes! If he could, Anthony would have it for every meal! (Hope they don’t go out of business now!) He had a great sense of humor and was loved by everyone; just a great person to be around- and to feel close too. He also loved the beach and Colorado.
Anthony was a Type 1 Diabetic (a T1D warrior in the Diabetic world) diagnosed at the age of nine. He had been a Diabetic Scholarship Recipient of Bacon Bash. “Bear” as Anthony was known to his mom, says that Bear was a very much-loved big brother and role model for Jaydan.
He was preceded in death by his namesake grandfather, Juan Alvarado, Sr.; and great grandparents, Bertha Cavazos, Donny Gustafson, and Donald Caughron.
Survivors include parents, Tiffany and Aaron Rodriguez, and Tony Alvarado; brother, Jaydan Rodriguez; grandparents, Dee “Nani” Pickett and Scott Turner, Raul “PoPo” Cavazos, and Rosa Maria Devora Tremillo; great grandparents, Dian Caughron, and Delfido Cavazos.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Anthony Alvarado “Ants Memorial” Basketball Scholarship Fund, c/o Tiffany Rodriguez at First National Bank of Central Texas or JDRF Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

Anthony was the best cousin ever I could ask for I will always remember and miss him
Anthony was the best classmate ever I could ask for I will always remember and miss him. I love and miss you everyday, Anthony. You were and will always be my bestest friend. You were such an amazing person and truly the kindest to everyone. God took you far too soon and in the most unexpected way. We take the greatest people for granted but then you never know when they won’t be here anymore, such as Anthony. Everyone loved him so much and he was always the best. My whole family loved him and he was always so kind to them all. You will be very missed but very loved. I miss you so much Anthony.

Anthony I’m lost for words and totally heartbroken I’m so forever grateful for the fun memories I have with you. You have left a lasting mark on each and everyone that knew you and you will be greatly missed but never forgotten. No matter what you will always be my little man!!💕
Anthony will forever be missed. He was an amazing kid. Every time him & Gianna were on the phone, he would make Gianna come out and tell me that he said “hello.” He always talked on the phone with my 3 year old daughter and always asked about her. Gianna loved him so much and she is going to miss him a lot. My heart goes out to Tiffany, their family, and all of Anthony’s friends. He will never be forgotten. ❤️
Definitely someone who lit up every room he walked into, and someone who was an easy person to miss after hanging out. Forever will love and miss you, while cherishing every moment and memory we made. Thank you for being my bestfriend and a shoulder to cry on. I know you would want me to live my life as best as I can instead of reminiscing what happened on July 20th. Thank you for showing me your world, letting me meet your family, and being a respectful kid to my family. Theres so many things I want to say but don’t know how to put it into words as-well as so many emotions i’ve never felt before. May God bless your family and help everyone get through this tough time, I love you always and forever ant 💕 LLA 🕊️
So sorry to hear of Anthony passing. Our condolences go out to you, Del. I am lifting you and the family up in prayer, may God give you comfort, strength, and peace during this difficult time.
Mi niño hermoso, my forever “baby A”, te amo y extraño muchísimo. Tia Yadi loves you forever and always my handsome boy.
