Letters to John Boy

On November 8, 2021, John Anthony's life was shattered when his only son, John Wesley Christian Anthony, died by suicide. In the quiet that followed-the kind of silence only grief can bring-John picked up a pen and began writing letters. Not just to mourn, but to remember. Not to explain, but to feel. Not to forget, but to love.

Letters to John Boy is a raw, deeply personal collection of letters from a father to his beloved son. Through each page, John shares pain, memories, questions, and the kind of love that doesn't end with death. These letters are not filled with answers, but with presence. They are the echoes of a broken heart still beating, still believing, still hoping.

This book is for the grieving parent who doesn't know how to say it out loud. For the sibling who kept breathing. For the friend who never saw the signs. For the one who needs to know they're not alone-and that it's okay not to be okay.

Whether you've experienced loss or are walking alongside someone who has, Letters to John Boy is a companion in the dark, a voice for the silent, and a tribute to a life that mattered.
