His religious education was through Harrison Avenue Missionary Baptist Church. He was baptized on June 2, 2002; participated in the media ministry, youth choir and youth group. In adulthood he was on the security ministry for the church keeping the congregation safe while they attended services. He was a very outgoing young man with a bright future ahead of him.

Debo was so funny and had the greatest laugh to accompany his nonchalant attitude. DeAnthony loved his family and was always there to help when he was asked, he may have complained while doing it, but the job got done.
