Anthony McCants

Anthony Kayree McCants was born July 8, 1997, in Farmington, New Mexico, to Rodney (Tyrone) Haynes and Tiffany McCants. He cherished family life and is remembered most for the love he showed to his wife, Lordine McCants, and the children who were part of their household. Anthony’s family included a broad circle of relatives across New Mexico and beyond; he is survived by his parents, siblings, and extended family who recall his quiet strength and presence.

Anthony cared deeply for those closest to him. As a husband and a stepfather, he took seriously the everyday responsibilities and small moments that make a home — from daily routines to being present for family milestones. Those who knew him recall his steady loyalty to family and the comfort of his company.

A lifelong resident of the Farmington area, Anthony’s connections in his community were important to him. He worked alongside others in the local auto salvage yard, where coworkers came to know him as part of the day-to-day life of the business. His life, though cut far too short, was rooted in ordinary acts of care and commitment that mattered deeply to his relatives and friends.

Family members honored Anthony with services in Farmington in April 2023. They asked that remembrances be made in ways that celebrate his life and support the children and family he loved. Those who wish to pay tribute to Anthony are encouraged to share memories with his family and to remember him for the relationships and duties he valued.

Anthony’s passing left a hole in the lives of many who loved him. While public records note the circumstances of his death, those who knew him first remember his role as a husband, son, brother, and friend. His family’s care for one another and their continuing efforts to honor his memory stand as a testament to his place in their lives.
