Mr. Anthony, 66, of Scooba, MS, passed away Thursday, September 17, 2026, at UAB in Birmingham, AL surrounded by his family.

Skeeter graduated from Mississippi State University with bachelor’s degree in chemistry and microbiology. He spent 28 years at Chemical Waste Management before retiring as Environmental Manager. After he retired, he enjoyed gardening, tending to the farm animals, and just generally being outdoors. However, nothing brought him more joy than spending time with his precious grandchildren. He will be remembered as a devoted husband, loving father and papaw, and a good friend. He will be greatly missed by those who had the pleasure of meeting him.

He is survived by his wife of 40 years, Kay Anthony; children, Bobby Anthony (Shelby) of Scooba, MS, Tyler Anthony (Caitlyn) of Pace, FL, and Alyson Anthony (Ashley) of Scooba, MS; grandchildren, Taylor, Robby, Levy, Ellie, and Indie Anthony; sisters, Pam Anthony, Suzanne Jones, and Joy Anthony (Kurt); aunt, Annie “Tootsie” Richie; and numerous nieces and nephews.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Robert Harold Anthony Jr. and Sarah Katherine Martin Anthony.

Serving as pallbearers will be Louis Lightsey, Steven Lightsey, Brett Lightsey, Mark Moore, Luke Moore, and Tony Jones.

The family will receive friends two hours prior to the service at the church.
