Early Years Then Later Years
 Anthony Tyrone know as "Bird" was born on a Thursday morning at 7:18 am 1972 to Barbara Stancil & Wilbert Wilkes whom is now also deceased. She later met a wonderful man who truely became Bird's father when Bird was only 21/2 years old and He adopted Him as His blood Son. He couldn't have loved Him more and the same was for Bird.
Bird was truely a talented young man at an early age He bgan to read a lot, His favorite books were anything sounds funny, but this was the truth He would read anything. I use to have to tell Him to turn out off the lights and go to sleep, He never wanted to stop what He was reading to go to sleep. I would often catch Him reading under the covers with a flash light. It paid off anything you wanted t know Bird knew it or if He didn't want to get involve He didn't knw it. I thought that was very smart of him. He could out read me anytime. we use to read books and He would always be ahead of me, because He could read faster than Me. he use to call it speed reading, I would laugh at Him evrytime He would say this. When He was about 5 or so he began to start drawing picutures and at first I never noticed it one day He came to me and said Momie look you never look at my drawings and I looked and oh what talent My Son had and I never noticed. I said to Him keep drawing Baby and one day you will become famous we laughed. Oh He was so sweet then and was until the day he left me.
We took some of His work to the local news paper and they were interested and I just gave up, but He never stopped drawing. Bird I ask you now to forgive your Momie I wished I had handled it differently. You wanted to go to Art Schol and I nevr took you seriously, because I didn't think you really wanted to persue that. I've had so much time to think about the things you use to do and now I cry so much over the what if`s. Only if I could go back to when you were born I would do things a little different in our lives.
When you started School you were so smart, your teachers were so fascinated about the way you could learn so fast. you use to do your work and then then sit there and destract all the other kids and they wouldn't want to do there work because they were too busy watching you. You would read the books they gave you to read so fast and then tell what it was you had read and they couldn't beleive it until you did it.
Your last years of school you were something else. You played School bus with the first car Dad bought you, because you had nothing to keep you busy in school. The teachers couldn't give you enogh work that would keep you focused on your class, so you would either not come to school or leave early. Bird I will never forget all the wonderful Years I had with you my angel it wasn't meant for you to stay here with us long but I wished I could have said goodbye my sweet angel it wasn't in the cards. You are with God, your birth father, your Grandad who was my father, your Uncles, My Brothers, your greatgrandmother who is my grandmother & greatgrandad and many more who loved you so much. we will be together again very soon. I love You Angel, We all do.
Your Family

Endings & Beginnings Saying Goodbye To Soon""
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you wake in the morning hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there, I did not die.

Obituary
Mr Anthony Tryone "BIRD" Stancil-White
Son Of Barbara Stancil-White and Edward White, was born on February 10, 1972 in Pitt County, NC. He departed this earthly life on February 19, 2005 in a car accident coming home from Va. Beach only a few miles from home. He spent most of his life in Pitt County. He had lived in Va. Beach for a short time. He graduated from J.H. Rose High School in 1990. He did not participate in any sports because of his heart valve problems. On July 30, 1992 he entered into the U. S. Navy. His military career was brief due to a heart valve disorder. He worked in various jobs but always returned home to the family business, Edwards Commercial Vinyl of Greenville, NC were he was employed.
A few months ago, it was as if he knew God was going to call him home soon; therefore he was getting his life in order. He was doing things out of the norm. He would call family members just to tell them he loved them, the only person he would call everyday to tell her he loved her was his mom. He was "paying his mom some money'(this was just a joke between the two of them) he owed her". He had returned items borrowed such as a belt he had borrowed from his mom. In fact he returned it the day before his death. He would tell his mom, "Time is getting shorter and shorter; it scares me that so many young people are leaving this world so fast, especially my friends. It is time to get right. I want to do the right things for God. I'am repenting of my sins"
Tyrone as he was affectionately called, had the most handsome smile anyone could have, and he greeted everyone with that wonderful smile.
Tryone was preceded in death by his Grandfather, Willie J. Stancil, two uncles Eddie and William Stancil. He was love by everyone who knew him and will be missed by all.

His Life
 Bird was a quite person never would hurt you without cause. He would help people that needed a friend or someone to talk with. Always had a smile on his face when he greeted you. This was his legancy this is how he was remembered for his smile. He was quite did not bother anyone unless you gave him a reason. The things he enjoyed doing most was reading he could read a book in a day depending on the thickness. One day as I was going thru his things I found a book about jesus it look as though he had been reading it over and over. Tyrone told me once that he had read the Bible so many times, he said it was an interesting book the most interesting book to read. I use to purnish him by making him read a book when he was a little child. He could not participate in sports because of his heart even though he loved sports he would try with his friends, but he could not handle it. He enjoyed being with his friends and family so much this was the time he liked most just to be with friends and family. Bird would always when ever he saw me snick up behind me and pinch me under my arms I don't know why he thought I had more fat under my arms than anyone in the world. This was his past time to pick at me. We could be riding in the car he would say Ma don't you need to go on a light diet and that would make him laugh(SMILE)! of course no one thought this was funny, but him. I can remember so many things we would laugh about. When Bird was in high school he played a game on me and the teachers. He would take some of his friends to school, but he never went inside, he would just drop them off, of course we were out of town when this happened. The teacher called and asked if we new Anthony was not coming to school I said no and that he was leavig ever day for school and she said he was playing school bus but he did not know the teachers had found out his secret and told me. Oh! he was shocked that the teacher had told me and I asked him he didn't know what to say. Bird didn't like being in school everyday because he said that he was bored with what the teacher was teaching him. I told him he could not do this you have to go to school. I went to the office and asked to speak with the instructor and I said could you give him something that is not so easy, she said the work is for his level I said I don't think so; it worked it out for his sake. Bird was before his time I think, because he knew so much. He would read all of my the encylcopedia's in the house and then he would ask if we had anything else to read. He would read anything would buy books all the time you could be riding with him he would be reading the whole time. His time was just too short here with us God had other plan for him. I know the stars are shining bright on you, because you are putting on a show for your friends up in heaven keep that smile until Momie gets there ok. I love you baby boy.
