Omaha is in shock after the sudden death of 23‑year-old Anthony “Reddy” Coleman — also known as Tøny Yøung — who was found dead in a car fire on November 24, 2025. The young man, remembered by so many for his kindness and infectious energy, leaves behind a community reeling from the heartbreak.
Anthony wasn’t just a familiar face around town — he was a force of light. Friends and family describe him as upbeat and loyal, someone whose presence could turn a rough day around. He radiated warmth, always ready to lift others up, offer support, and make people feel seen. To those who knew him, Anthony was more than just a friend or neighbor. He was like a brother, a confidant — a person you could lean on when life felt heavy.
The discovery of his body inside a burning vehicle on that November night rocked Omaha. Authorities are still piecing together what happened, trying to determine the cause of the blaze and how Anthony ended up there. As those questions linger, so does the ache for answers among those closest to him.
For his family, this loss is unimaginable. They now face the painful task of saying goodbye — organizing a funeral no parent should ever have to plan. In their grief, they are asking for the community’s help: donations, prayers, and anything that might offer a measure of dignity in giving Anthony the farewell he deserves.
And the community is beginning to respond. Talented hands are building GoFundMe pages. Messages of love, disbelief, sorrow, and solidarity are pouring in across social media. Each tribute shows just how many lives Anthony touched — how many people will now carry a piece of him with them.
Even as the investigation into the fire continues, those who loved Anthony are refusing to let his final hours define him. Instead, they cling to the memories: the laughter he brought into rooms, the support he gave without hesitation, and the warmth he radiated in every encounter.
Anthony “Reddy” Coleman’s light might have been extinguished far too soon, but the mark he left on Omaha will not fade. In every tribute, every shared memory, he lives on — in the hearts of people who loved him deeply, and in the countless lives he lifted just by being himself.
