ANTHONY'S OBITUARY
Anthony Phelan Carmody, 51, passed away on August 8, 2018 after a recent tragic accident. Visitation will be held from 4:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. on Friday, August 10, 2018, at Osborn Funeral Home followed by a vigil service and Rosary.
A Mass of Christian Burial will begin at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, August 11, 2018, at The Cathedral of St. John Berchmans Catholic Church with Fr. Peter Mangum celebrating. Interment will follow at Forest Park Cemetery.
Anthony was born July 15, 1967 in Shreveport, Louisiana. He graduated from St. Joseph Catholic School, Loyola College Prep and Louisiana State University.
Preceding him in death were grandparents, Anthony McDade Phelan and Katherine Huey Phelan; grandparents, Arthur R. Carmody and Caroline Gaughan Carmody; father, Thomas Gaughan Carmody; brother, Christopher Phelan Carmody, and beloved son, Frederick Miller Carmody, and father-in-law, Dr. George Beach.
He is survived by his beloved wife, Katherine Miller Carmody, and their beloved children Anthony Phelan Carmody Jr., Georgia Louise Carmody and Lily Grace Carmody;
Mother, Katherine Phelan Carmody;
Siblings, Katherine C. Frangos, Caroline C. Chumley, Thomas G. Carmody Jr., F. Michael Carmody, Josephine C. Brigham, Anne C. Pugh, Elizabeth C. Van Genderen, John Barry Carmody, Margaret C. Hagood, Bridget C. Day, Marie Carmody, and their spouses;
Mother-in-law, Nanette Schneider Beach, and Katherine's siblings, Derry B. Adams, George B. Beach, Elizabeth A. Miller, John F. Beach, Gaynanette Beach, and Anne Miller, and their spouses; father-in-law, David M. Miller;
Numerous nieces and nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins, including special aunts and uncles, Arthur R. Carmody Jr. and Josephine G. Carmody, and Pat and Kathryn Phelan.
Pallbearers will be Michael Ellis, Kurt Cummings, Lee Berry, John Batson, Beaux Box, Al Betz, Jimmy Casten, Stewart Craig, Kip DelaVega, Robert Embree, Stuart Gayle, Wayne Girouard, Frank Goldsberry, Frank Harris, Charles Hawes, Rogers Herndon, Rob Lindsey, Clay Lowery, Collin Magnum, Clay Nelson, Paul Robertson, Tim Schneider, Mark Schneidao, Les Tompkins, David Viguerie, Mike Wolcott and Mack Brown Jr.
Anthony embraced all life offered as a husband, father, son, brother, and friend, giving fully of himself. He was as quick with kind words and thoughtful gestures as he was with jokes to share the mirth of life or to ease sorrows of those around him.
Generosity and hospitality were his default, virtuous traits he shared with his father. His greatest joy was celebrating his life with Katherine, Anthony, Georgia, Lily Grace and Frederick, enjoying afternoons on Cross Lake, cheering on the LSU Tigers, competing cheerfully with local tennis clubs, and lingering happily over family meals.
He was a successful businessman, working for the past three decades in pharmaceutical sales management. He nurtured lasting friendships in his work, and the outpouring of support from his colleagues, including former associates around the country, is a testament to the depths of joy his friends felt in his presence.
He was a proud member of DKE fraternity, and counted his brothers as family who gave him fodder for a lifetime of yarns and laughter. He cherished his annual retreat to Manresa in Convent, Louisiana, and the men who shared that journey with him.
The Carmody and Beach family wishes to express our sincere gratitude to the doctors and nurses at Willis Knighton Medical Center - Pierremont for their efforts to save Anthony.
The family requests that memorials be made in memory of Anthony to St. Joseph Catholic School, 1210 Anniston Avenue, Shreveport, LA 71105, or to Loyola College Prep, 921 Jordan Street, Shreveport, LA 71104.

MEMORIES
Heather Johnson Rossi ~ Aug. 8, 2021
**I pray for the Lord's continued blessings over the enduring nature of Anthony's survivors. They live with the gifts that they've had and the gifts they have left -- that they prove to use and grow with everday in a miraculous way. We all have much to learn from this family, and we would all live better not to underestimate them nor take them for granted. I for one am quite grateful to have known this family as i have, and now, grateful for what the future holds -- knowing them today and being able to walk with them in this world -- whether near or far. God bless my childhood friend, Katherine Carmody, in particular -- my friend in this mysterious world. My work/prayers dutifully and proudly mingle with our happy memories. She is a strong person and is to be admired. In our mutual savior's name, Jesus Christ -- where we hide, rest, and gain our strength, Amen.

*I am so sad to learn of this tragic news. It's very difficult to process, I had known Anthony for almost 20 years now. We had met at PDI on the Novartis contract in sales. Anthony was such a great person, full of fun, laughter and positive energy. Anthony was a very talented sales person because of his excellent interpersonal skills. He knew how to motivate people and get them to listen. Anthony's great leadership skills lead him quickly up the ranks into management. His entire team celebrated his success because it was so well deserved. An exciting memory I still remember, way back when, was when our whole sales team was so excited for Anthony and his wife, as they were expecting their first set of twins. So long ago now.., and then they were blessed,yet again, with another set of twins!! Anthony was always all about his family, so passionate; proud to be a part of such a large and closely knit family. My heart is just broken for you all. Sending my prayers and warmest sympathy. I imagine Anthony and Freddie, along with other family members long passed, are having a glorious reunion. My prayer is that Anthony's family remains strong and tight together, even in the midst of this additional tragic loss. Sometimes things just don't make sense and are beyond painful, but I know that Anthony would want all of the rest of his family to keep believing, celebrating life and all it's blessings. May God bless you all. My warmest sympathy and hugs. Sincerely, Michelle Peters Houston, Texas

MAN FOUND UNCONSCIOUS IN SHREVEPORT POOL DIES

Anthony Carmody
A man who was found in the bottom of a swimming pool at an east Shreveport home this past weekend has died.
Anthony Carmody, 51, of Shreveport, died Wednesday night at WK Pierremont hospital. He had been on life support.
Shreveport police said Carmody was found in a pool in the 6200 block of East Ridge Drive about 3:50 a.m. Saturday. Carmody was at the home of businessman Will Broyles, who called 911. Police said Carmody was unconscious when paramedics arrived.
Police detectives were back at the home on Thursday morning. A Police Department spokesman described it as a standard followup investigation once a drowning victim has died. Police would not comment on details of their investigation.
Broyles would not provide specifics about what happened at his home but told KTBS News it was a terrible accident or medical condition.
Anthony Carmody was a married father of three who worked as a pharmaceutical sales manager. His 8-year-old son died in 2015 after a sudden infection.
Among Carmody's siblings is state Rep. Thomas Carmody, who was making funeral arrangements on Thursday.
"I really loved my brother. So did a lot of people, and my family," Thomas Carmody said Thursday. "He is going to be missed."
A funeral Mass will be at 1 p.m. Saturday at the Cathedral of Saint John Berchmans in Shreveport. Visitation will be from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Friday at Osborn Funeral Home on Southern Avenue in Shreveport. It will be followed by a family Rosary.

MAN FOUND UNCONSCIOUS IN SHREVEPORT POOL DIES

Anthony Carmody
A man who was found in the bottom of a swimming pool at an east Shreveport home this past weekend has died.
Anthony Carmody, 51, of Shreveport, died Wednesday night at WK Pierremont hospital. He had been on life support.
Shreveport police said Carmody was found in a pool in the 6200 block of East Ridge Drive about 3:50 a.m. Saturday. Carmody was at the home of businessman Will Broyles, who called 911. Police said Carmody was unconscious when paramedics arrived.
Police detectives were back at the home on Thursday morning. A Police Department spokesman described it as a standard followup investigation once a drowning victim has died. Police would not comment on details of their investigation.
Broyles would not provide specifics about what happened at his home but told KTBS News it was a terrible accident or medical condition.
Anthony Carmody was a married father of three who worked as a pharmaceutical sales manager. His 8-year-old son died in 2015 after a sudden infection.
Among Carmody's siblings is state Rep. Thomas Carmody, who was making funeral arrangements on Thursday.
"I really loved my brother. So did a lot of people, and my family," Thomas Carmody said Thursday. "He is going to be missed."
A funeral Mass will be at 1 p.m. Saturday at the Cathedral of Saint John Berchmans in Shreveport. Visitation will be from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Friday at Osborn Funeral Home on Southern Avenue in Shreveport. It will be followed by a family Rosary.

ANTHONY'S OBITUARY
Anthony Phelan Carmody, 51, passed away on August 8, 2018 after a recent tragic accident. Visitation will be held from 4:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. on Friday, August 10, 2018, at Osborn Funeral Home followed by a vigil service and Rosary.
A Mass of Christian Burial will begin at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, August 11, 2018, at The Cathedral of St. John Berchmans Catholic Church with Fr. Peter Mangum celebrating. Interment will follow at Forest Park Cemetery.
Anthony was born July 15, 1967 in Shreveport, Louisiana. He graduated from St. Joseph Catholic School, Loyola College Prep and Louisiana State University.
Preceding him in death were grandparents, Anthony McDade Phelan and Katherine Huey Phelan; grandparents, Arthur R. Carmody and Caroline Gaughan Carmody; father, Thomas Gaughan Carmody; brother, Christopher Phelan Carmody, and beloved son, Frederick Miller Carmody, and father-in-law, Dr. George Beach.
He is survived by his beloved wife, Katherine Miller Carmody, and their beloved children Anthony Phelan Carmody Jr., Georgia Louise Carmody and Lily Grace Carmody;
Mother, Katherine Phelan Carmody;
Siblings, Katherine C. Frangos, Caroline C. Chumley, Thomas G. Carmody Jr., F. Michael Carmody, Josephine C. Brigham, Anne C. Pugh, Elizabeth C. Van Genderen, John Barry Carmody, Margaret C. Hagood, Bridget C. Day, Marie Carmody, and their spouses;
Mother-in-law, Nanette Schneider Beach, and Katherine's siblings, Derry B. Adams, George B. Beach, Elizabeth A. Miller, John F. Beach, Gaynanette Beach, and Anne Miller, and their spouses; father-in-law, David M. Miller;
Numerous nieces and nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins, including special aunts and uncles, Arthur R. Carmody Jr. and Josephine G. Carmody, and Pat and Kathryn Phelan.
Pallbearers will be Michael Ellis, Kurt Cummings, Lee Berry, John Batson, Beaux Box, Al Betz, Jimmy Casten, Stewart Craig, Kip DelaVega, Robert Embree, Stuart Gayle, Wayne Girouard, Frank Goldsberry, Frank Harris, Charles Hawes, Rogers Herndon, Rob Lindsey, Clay Lowery, Collin Magnum, Clay Nelson, Paul Robertson, Tim Schneider, Mark Schneidao, Les Tompkins, David Viguerie, Mike Wolcott and Mack Brown Jr.
Anthony embraced all life offered as a husband, father, son, brother, and friend, giving fully of himself. He was as quick with kind words and thoughtful gestures as he was with jokes to share the mirth of life or to ease sorrows of those around him.
Generosity and hospitality were his default, virtuous traits he shared with his father. His greatest joy was celebrating his life with Katherine, Anthony, Georgia, Lily Grace and Frederick, enjoying afternoons on Cross Lake, cheering on the LSU Tigers, competing cheerfully with local tennis clubs, and lingering happily over family meals.
He was a successful businessman, working for the past three decades in pharmaceutical sales management. He nurtured lasting friendships in his work, and the outpouring of support from his colleagues, including former associates around the country, is a testament to the depths of joy his friends felt in his presence.
He was a proud member of DKE fraternity, and counted his brothers as family who gave him fodder for a lifetime of yarns and laughter. He cherished his annual retreat to Manresa in Convent, Louisiana, and the men who shared that journey with him.
The Carmody and Beach family wishes to express our sincere gratitude to the doctors and nurses at Willis Knighton Medical Center - Pierremont for their efforts to save Anthony.
The family requests that memorials be made in memory of Anthony to St. Joseph Catholic School, 1210 Anniston Avenue, Shreveport, LA 71105, or to Loyola College Prep, 921 Jordan Street, Shreveport, LA 71104.

**I pray for the Lord's continued blessings over the enduring nature of Anthony's survivors. They live with the gifts that they've had and the gifts they have left -- that they prove to use and grow with everday in a miraculous way. We all have much to learn from this family, and we would all live better not to underestimate them nor take them for granted. I for one am quite grateful to have known this family as i have, and now, grateful for what the future holds -- knowing them today and being able to walk with them in this world -- whether near or far. God bless my childhood friend, Katherine Carmody, in particular -- my friend in this mysterious world. My work/prayers dutifully and proudly mingle with our happy memories. She is a strong person and is to be admired. In our mutual savior's name, Jesus Christ -- where we hide, rest, and gain our strength, Amen.

*I am so sad to learn of this tragic news. It's very difficult to process, I had known Anthony for almost 20 years now. We had met at PDI on the Novartis contract in sales. Anthony was such a great person, full of fun, laughter and positive energy. Anthony was a very talented sales person because of his excellent interpersonal skills. He knew how to motivate people and get them to listen. Anthony's great leadership skills lead him quickly up the ranks into management. His entire team celebrated his success because it was so well deserved. An exciting memory I still remember, way back when, was when our whole sales team was so excited for Anthony and his wife, as they were expecting their first set of twins. So long ago now.., and then they were blessed,yet again, with another set of twins!! Anthony was always all about his family, so passionate; proud to be a part of such a large and closely knit family. My heart is just broken for you all. Sending my prayers and warmest sympathy. I imagine Anthony and Freddie, along with other family members long passed, are having a glorious reunion. My prayer is that Anthony's family remains strong and tight together, even in the midst of this additional tragic loss. Sometimes things just don't make sense and are beyond painful, but I know that Anthony would want all of the rest of his family to keep believing, celebrating life and all it's blessings. May God bless you all. My warmest sympathy and hugs. Sincerely, Michelle Peters Houston, Texas

**My heart joins all others in its brokenness. Anthony was special. So special that I can remember him reclining in Daddy's big old chair. Yes---in Daddy's chair---while Daddy fooled around with the television, antenna, something. I think Daddy liked seeing him there. May Anthony's soul and all the souls of our departed family through the mercy of God rest in His peace and shower us with faith, hope and peace. My love to each of you.

**Dear Michael and family, my heart is so heavy for your loss. Having just lost my brother Michael tragically as well in June I can relate to the pain and loss you are feeling. I will keep you all in my prayers during this most difficult time. Stay close and comfort each other. I just keep imagining my Dad greeting my brother and I now see Chris and your dad greeting Anthony. Maybe that vision will bring you some comfort. Fondly, Julie

Anthony Carmody
A man who was found in the bottom of a swimming pool at an east Shreveport home this past weekend has died.
Anthony Carmody, 51, of Shreveport, died Wednesday night at WK Pierremont hospital. He had been on life support.
Shreveport police said Carmody was found in a pool in the 6200 block of East Ridge Drive about 3:50 a.m. Saturday. Carmody was at the home of businessman Will Broyles, who called 911. Police said Carmody was unconscious when paramedics arrived.
Police detectives were back at the home on Thursday morning. A Police Department spokesman described it as a standard followup investigation once a drowning victim has died. Police would not comment on details of their investigation.
Broyles would not provide specifics about what happened at his home but told KTBS News it was a terrible accident or medical condition.
Anthony Carmody was a married father of three who worked as a pharmaceutical sales manager. His 8-year-old son died in 2015 after a sudden infection.
Among Carmody's siblings is state Rep. Thomas Carmody, who was making funeral arrangements on Thursday.
"I really loved my brother. So did a lot of people, and my family," Thomas Carmody said Thursday. "He is going to be missed."
A funeral Mass will be at 1 p.m. Saturday at the Cathedral of Saint John Berchmans in Shreveport. Visitation will be from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Friday at Osborn Funeral Home on Southern Avenue in Shreveport. It will be followed by a family Rosary.
