A'nias A'mari Anderson

With shattered hearts and deep reverence, we announce the passing of our beloved son, A’Nias Amari Anderson, tenderly known as “Papi.” Born on March 13, 2025, Papi graced our world with a quiet strength, a gentle soul, and a light that will never fade.

Though his time with us was brief, Papi’s impact was immeasurable. His presence brought joy, healing, and an unspoken wisdom that touched everyone blessed enough to meet him or hear his name. With eyes full of wonder and a spirit rooted in peace, Papi reminded us of the sacredness of life, no matter how fleeting.

He is cherished and mourned by his devoted parents, Kayana Marshall and James Anderson, and deeply loved by his siblings, Kingston, Lejiind, Khyrstian, and Ka’Ceon. Papi now joins his angel siblings, Ka’Leigha, Ja’Kerryion, and Kai’Auri in eternal peace, a reunion of light, innocence, and divine love.

Papi’s homecoming service will be held on Saturday, June 14, 2025, at Rose-Neath Funeral Home in Bossier City, Louisiana, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. We welcome all who have stood with our family in love and prayer to join us in honoring his precious life.

Though our arms are empty, our hearts are full with the love he gave. His life may have been a whisper, but his memory will echo forever. “Some souls were never meant to stay long, just long enough to teach us how to love more deeply, to cherish more freely, and to believe more fully in Heaven.”

Though our time together was far too short, every moment was drenched in love. Anais taught us to slow down, to smile more, to love deeper. In his quiet, innocent way, he made us better people.

We now imagine him skipping through Heaven’s garden free of pain, with wings of light and a laugh that echoes through eternity. He may not have grown up here, but he will grow forever in our hearts.

From your grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins, WE LOVE YOU FOREVER.
