Staff Sergeant Anthony Pringle epitomized a life of honor, integrity, and service. His life has been filled with love for people, places and God's beautiful earth. He had a smile that would light up the room.

His son, Anthony Dewitt Pringle also preceded him in death.

Anthony was raised in Meridian, Mississippi and -attended Meridian High School. He attended Meridian Community College where he graduated earning an associate degree in Business.

He retired from active duty on September 30, 2015. Anthony had many close friends and associates.
