Anthony Lee Gamez, age 49, of Sweetwater, Texas, passed away on March 19, 2026, in Sweetwater. He was born on November 27, 1976, to Gloria Vera of Sweetwater, Texas, and Donicio Gamez of Beaumont, Texas, and from the very beginning he carried a spirit that was both strong and deeply kind.

He took pride in his work and built lasting friendships through his reliability, grit, and willingness to help anyone who needed a hand. He loved the Houston Texans, and he had a passion for tattooing, a craft that allowed him to express his creativity and connect with people in a meaningful way. Known for his friendly nature, Anthony never hesitated to help others. Whether it was offering a hand, sharing a laugh, or simply being present, he had a way of making people feel supported and seen.
