In his career, he worked for Caterpillar Logistics in Morton, Illinois, and Cobham (Eaton) in Davenport, Iowa.

One of his passions was automotive mechanics. He could disassemble, repair, and reassemble almost any part of a car or truck. People always recognized his vehicles from his trademark black "Deer Guard" steel bumpers he welded to the front.

He was also an avid outdoorsman, spending many summers at his family's cabin near Muscatine, Iowa or rafting up and down the Mississippi River. He also enjoyed biking, target shooting, carpentry, and regaling his friends and family with entertaining stories.

Anthony is survived by his parents, Robert and Nam Sartor, brother Aaron Sartor, and his many aunts, uncles, and cousins -and with each he shared a special bond.

He was a gift.
