Anthony Patrick Killian, 28, of St. Louis, tragically left us on December 21, 2023 from cardiac arrest as a result of an underlying cardiac condition. He was born December 9th,1995 in St. Louis, Missouri. He attended St. Peter of Kirkwood and St. Justin Martyr Catholic schools before moving on to Lindbergh High School where he graduated in 2014.
He is survived by his parents Michael and Teresa (nee Crimi) Killian; loving brother of Michael (Bree) Killian, Sara (Stephon) Griffin, Joe and Daniel (Madi) Killian; dear uncle of Mason, Avery, Logan, Kannon and Olivia; dear grandson of Pat Killian and dear nephew, cousin, and friend.
Anthony was a member of the Order of the Arrow and Troop 116 within the Boy Scouts of America. He achieved Eagle rank upon completion of a project that distributed games and toys to local homeless shelters. He lived each day according to the Scout Law, “A scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent.”
An avid collector, lover of all types of music, and liquor connoisseur, Anthony’s real abiding passions were his family and friends. He made an instant impact on everyone who met him and on thousands who never will. His love of life was evident in the way he lived. From helping move his brother on his birthday, being the designated driver for his friends, to providing comedic relief during sausage making and always showing up to any occasion with his infectious smile and an endless supply of unique alcoholic beverages.
In his last selfless act on earth, Anthony ensured his legacy will live on through organ donation. His generous decision will touch the lives of all that received his organs.

My prayers are daily for all of you , Teresa. May our loving God surround each of you with his perfect love and comfort found in family and friends. . My regret is that I never had the privilege or pleasure of knowing your beautiful son.
What an incredible gift he chose to give — the donation of his organs which WILL give life to others. Our family experienced the miraculous and lifesaving gift of organ donation, and no other gift has ever come close to impacting our family so powerfully.
There are no words that could express the heartfelt grief I have for your family. I know you are a tight knit clan and pray that will carry over to a more peaceful time. I know you will see him again.
