Anthony James Embry

Anthony James Embry was a 29‑year‑old member of the Birmingham community whose life belonged first to the ordinary, meaningful things that shape a person: relationships with family and neighbors, ties to his neighborhood, and the everyday hopes of a young man building his future. Public reports identify him by name and age and place him in the Woodlawn/North Birmingham area, where those who knew him would have recognized him as part of the fabric of his community.

Though a formal, family-published obituary matching his name and the exact date of death was not found in public funeral-home records, contemporary verified notices from local news and the Jefferson County Coroner confirm that Anthony passed on May 31, 2023, in Birmingham. These sources show that he was identified by the coroner and that his passing was felt in the neighborhood where he lived. Beyond those official details, the public record preserves few personal facts; that scarcity does not lessen the reality that Anthony’s life mattered to people who loved him.

Those preparing remembrances or a memorial page for Anthony should center what is known and what family or friends choose to share: his full name, his age, the community he called home, and the human truth that each life leaves memories and relationships behind. If you are a relative, friend, or neighbor with memories, photographs, or stories, adding those personally held details will help the portrait of Anthony become fuller and more distinctly his. In remembering him, keep the focus on his life and the people he touched — a young man from Birmingham whose loss was felt by those around him.
