Fidel Anthony Nevarez

In Loving Memory

Fidel Anthony Nevarez

September 17, 1991 – August 21, 2026

Fidel Anthony Nevarez, lovingly known as Anthony, was a beloved son, brother, uncle, grandson, nephew, friend, and cherished member of his family. He passed away on August 21, 2026, at the age of 34, leaving behind a lifetime of love, laughter, and memories that will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.

Anthony was born on September 17, 1991, in Salinas, California, to his father, Fidel Andazola, and his mother, Nancy Nevarez Clark. Although he was born in California, Anthony spent most of his life in Arizona, where he built lasting friendships, created countless memories, and touched the lives of so many people.

Anthony was truly a special soul. He had a kind and generous heart and seemed to have a place for everyone in it. He was intelligent, funny, compassionate, and always willing to help someone in need. He had a natural gift for bringing happiness and laughter wherever he went. Whether through a kind gesture, a helping hand, or simply making someone smile, Anthony had a way of making people feel cared for and valued.

He loved being active and enjoyed participating in fundraisers and finding ways to give back to others. Helping people was simply part of who he was. Anthony also loved the outdoors and appreciated the beauty and peace that came with being surrounded by nature. And, true to his personality, he took pride in looking and smelling good—he always wanted to look his best and make a good impression.

Among the memories he treasured most were the moments he shared with his mother. Anthony especially loved taking his mom out to eat and spending quality time with her. Those simple moments together became precious memories that his family will hold onto forever. The love between a son and his mother is something that time can never take away.

Anthony was also dedicated to his career as a debt consolidator. He was intelligent, determined, and exceptionally good at what he did. His ability to understand people, communicate with them, and help them through difficult financial situations allowed him to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

Anthony was preceded in death by his father, Fidel Andazola; grandparents Felipe and Irma Andazola and Jose Nevarez; uncles Richard Andazola, Jimmy Andazola, and Jimmy Nevarez; aunt Maribel Muñoz-Gambino Gonzalez; and great-grandparents Domingo and Maria Muñoz.

He leaves behind his beloved mother, Nancy Nevarez Clark, and stepfather, Gerry William Clark; brothers Rafael Lopez, Jason Lopez, and Anthony Amezola Royce; sister-in-law Cathy Villa; nephew RJ Lopez; nieces Kaitlyn, Jennifer, and Dianalea Love Lopez; great-grandmother Alicia Muñoz Fraide; and many other family members and friends who loved him deeply.

Anthony's life was far too short, but the impact he made in those 34 years was lasting. The love he gave, the laughter he shared, the kindness he showed, and the memories he created will continue to live on through everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

Anthony had a special love for animals, especially his beloved dogs, Max and Jax. They brought him so much happiness and companionship, and it was clear how deeply he cared for them. He also carried the memory of Sam, a beloved dog who had passed away, in his heart. His love for animals was a beautiful reflection of the kindness, loyalty, and gentle spirit he shared with those around him. His dogs were more than pets—they were family, and the love he had for them will always be remembered.

There are some people who leave an imprint on your heart that can never be erased. Anthony was one of those people. His presence brought light, laughter, and warmth into the lives around him. Though his absence leaves an unimaginable emptiness, his spirit will continue to live through every story told about him, every laugh shared in his memory, every act of kindness inspired by him, and every precious moment his loved ones carry in their hearts.

Anthony will always be remembered for his beautiful spirit, generous heart, quick sense of humor, and the love he had for the people around him. He may no longer be with us physically, but the love he gave will never disappear.

Anthony will be deeply missed, forever loved, and never forgotten.

May his memory forever be a blessing to everyone who had the privilege of knowing and loving him.
