With great sorrow, we mourn the loss of a remarkable man, Antoyne Christopher Hutcherson Sr. He was born on the sunny day of March 5th, 1974, in the vibrant city of Los Angeles, California, and was called Home to God December 9th, 2023, from the same city where his journey began. He was a man who lived life to the fullest and brought joy to those around him.
Antoyne had a deep passion for sports, with football, basketball, and baseball being his favorites. He was a dedicated fan of the Raiders, Dodgers, and Lakers, cheering them on with unwavering enthusiasm. Yet, his love for sports wasn't confined to the stands. He was a coach, a mentor, and guide to many young athletes. He cared deeply about his players, not only as athletes but also individuals, and his impact on their lives was immeasurable.
Throughout his 20-year career as a customer service representative, Antoyne displayed exceptional dedication and professionalism. He had a natural ability to connect with people and always went above and beyond to ensure their needs were met. His commitment to his work was evident in the positive relationships he built with both colleagues and customers.
In addition to his career, Antoyne also pursued his passion for umpiring in his spare time. His expertise and passion for the game led him to be featured on the front cover of Referee magazine, a testament to his skill and dedication to the sport.
Antoyne's infectious smile and contagious laughter brought light to every room he entered. His one-of-a-kind personality left a lasting impression on all who had the privilege of knowing him. He cherished his family deeply, especially his son, Antoyne Jr., his daughters, Jordan Lofton and Edenia Hutcherson, as well as his grandchildren, Ashton Hutcherson and Lashawn Gaston Jr. He found solace and strength in his family, and his love for them knew no bounds.
Antoyne was preceded in death by his beloved mother, Virginia Hutcherson, his father, Donald Hutcherson, and his brother, Paul Hutcherson, whose loss weighed heavily on his heart. Though his passing was sudden and unfortunate, he would want his loved ones to celebrate his life rather than mourn his death. He would want them to remember him for his zest for life, his love for sports and community, and his unwavering dedication to his family and friends.
Antoyne leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and cherished memories. He will be deeply missed by his sister, Barbara Warren, nephews Tyler Warren and Nicholas Robinson, and all those who had the privilege of knowing him.
May his soul find the eternal peace it deserves, and may his memory, like a beautiful melody, play on in the hearts of those who loved him.
