Anthony Santiago Mottu's Obituary
Born November 24,1992 and entered eternal peace with his Savior Jesus Christ on September 5, 2025.
A resident of Spring, Tx. Anthony was a graduate of Clear Lake High School. He continued his education by earning an Associates of Arts in music and an Associates of Science in Business Administration at Alvin Community College. A Bachelors of Science in Finance from University of Houston and a Certification in Financial Planning at Rice University-Glasscock School of Continuing Studies. He went on to become a very competent Financial Advisor and Planner with Fidelity Investments.
Ant, as he was called by those closest to him, was a fan of many different sports. Above all, his favorite sport was baseball. He traveled with his dad to many Major League Stadiums across the country to watch games. He supported all the local Houston sports teams but will be remembered as a dedicated New York Mets fan.
Always a foodie, he enjoyed cooking and tasting new and different cuisines but he especially loved a good Hot Dog and BBQ.
He was very competitive, whether gaming on teams with friends or against them, playing Pickleball and Chess. On his last adventure he decided to go skydiving and said it was the best experience he ever had.
He loved watching Marvel movies or a good tv series. Ted Lasso was one he felt he could really relate with.
Above all, Anthony was a passionate and accomplished musician and percussionist. He displayed his talent by playing Praise and Worship in church and as a member of the band Phoenix Splash. His music will not only continue in the recordings but also in the hearts and souls of those that heard his art and knew and loved him.
Anthony is preceded in death by his Maternal Grandmother - Janie Carrisalez Rosalez, Paternal Grandmother - Carmen Luna Mottu, Paternal Grandfather - Roy Zepeda Mottu. He is survived by his mother - Norma Rosalez, his father - James Mottu (Kenia Garcia), Maternal Grandfather - Eloy Rosalez (Betty), Step Father - Chad Nunn, Paternal Step Grandfather - Wilfredo Hernandez, Step Sisters - Vivian Sofka (Joshua), Karina Chacon (Virgil Williford), and Odalis Dyson (Michael), Step Brothers - Christopher Nunn (Sarah), Cody Nunn, and Michael Nunn, numerous Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and other extended family members and countless friends.
The immense bond and dedication he had to his mother, Norma, transcends his passing.
Anthony was a friend to all, a giver, a peacemaker, fun-loving, a jokester and the one that lit up any room he entered. The practical jokes and banter between Anthony, his mom and Uncle Billy Rosalez was a constant source of laughter. One friend simply describes him as “JOY”.
Anthony can be honored and remembered best by living each of our lives in a way where we lift each other up, show kindness everywhere we may be, give to those in need, call or go see that person that’s on your heart, be encouragers, have a listening ear and most importantly, love each other in the manner in which Jesus loves all of us.
Those who knew and love Anthony take comfort in knowing that he is at peace and that the drums in Heaven are being played very well today.
