Mr. Anthony Cole Mooreland was born March 18, 1959 in Flint Michigan, the son of the late Floyd Anthony and Lucille (Cole) Mooreland. Anthony accepted Christ at an early age at Mt. Olive Missionary Baptist Church. He graduated from Flint Central High School and attended Mott Community College, Oakland University and the University of Michigan-Flint. His wide circle of friends was a very diverse group of people, including a doctor, janitor, fisherman, restaurateur, businessmen, GM workers, business owners, nuclear plant professionals, the unemployed, ministers, carpenters, artists, as well as the woman who took chemotherapy with him. Anthony was resourceful. Whatever skill or job you needed done, Anthony knew someone that could do it. In his lifetime, he enjoyed more jobs in different industries than probably all of us put together. He was the security guard for Sonitrol, a retail sales associate for Kohl’s, a warehouse stock associate for the Coffee Beanery, an inventory specialist at Regis, a sorter operator at Citizens Bank, a host and cashier at Bob Evans, a customer service representative for Toys "R" Us, an account representative for Schwan’s, and a merchandiser for Frito-Lay. His last job was a village attendant at Crossroads Village. Anthony took pride in being a Bass Tournament Fisherman, winning many tournaments over the years. He was a skilled chess player, pool player and bowler. He played on Central High School’s Tennis Team. He will be remembered most for his resiliency, his strength, his brilliance and his dazzling smile. He was a beloved son, brother, uncle, cousin and friend. His email address, TC2Cole4U says it all. Mr. Anthony Cole Mooreland leaves to cherish his memory: sister, Nikki Helen (Gary) Mooreland-Moss; nephews, Jelani Ade Moss, Phoenix, Arizona and Shomari Emmanuel Moss of Chicago, IL; aunt and uncle, Lina and Sam Witherspoon of Carrier Mills, IL; and a host of cousins and friends. Mr. Mooreland was preceded in death by his parents, Floyd Anthony Mooreland and Lucille Cole Mooreland.
