Anthony Eastman-King, 39

Anthony (A-Train) Eastman-King, 39, of Post Falls, passed away Oct. 21, 2026, leaving behind an extraordinary legacy of love, friendship, and a life lived to the absolute fullest. 

Born on July 24, 1987, in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, Anthony entered this world facing extraordinary challenges. Born with a diaphragmatic hernia, doctors gave him a life expectancy of less than two years. Anthony spent the next 39 years proving his life could never be defined by limitations. He didn’t just defy the odds; he exceeded every expectation and made every moment count. 

Anthony grew up in Post Falls, Idaho, and graduated from Post Falls High School in 2007. His love for sports was unmatched, and his dedication to the Post Falls Trojans continued long after graduation. He proudly volunteered with the boys basketball program and earned the honorary title of Director of Basketball Operations. He also devoted his time and enthusiasm to the school’s football, baseball, wrestling, and soccer programs. Whether cheering from the sidelines, supporting the athletes, or celebrating a victory, Anthony was always one of the biggest fans in the room. 

One of Anthony’s greatest passions was his involvement with Team Hoyt CDA. Racing brought him an indescribable amount of joy, and he treasured every opportunity to cross another finish line alongside his teammates. His determination, competitive spirit, and infectious enthusiasm were an inspiration to everyone around him.  

Anthony was a longtime, beloved employee of Super 1 Foods in Hayden, where his smile, enthusiasm, and genuine love for people made him so much more than a coworker. 

To know Anthony was to love him. His joy was contagious, his friendships were countless, and his ability to make everyone feel special was truly remarkable. He never met a stranger, and he had a way of making every person he encountered feel like they mattered. Anthony was a treasured friend to people of every age and every walk of life. His presence could light up a room, and his enthusiasm for life was nothing short of legendary. 

At the center of Anthony’s life was his unwavering faith in Jesus Christ. He didn’t simply speak about his faith; he lived it through the way he loved, encouraged, and embraced everyone around him. Anthony had a remarkable gift for bringing people together, and his life was a beautiful reflection of God’s love.  

Anthony’s life was a powerful reminder that the value of a life is not measured by its length, but by the love shared, the joy given, and the lives touched along the way. There are people who spend their entire lives trying to leave a mark on this world, and then there is Anthony, who changed the lives of thousands simply by being himself.  

Though his family and countless friends are heartbroken by his passing, they find comfort in the beautiful memories he leaves behind and in the promise of being reunited with him in heaven. While his absence leaves an immeasurable void, the love he gave so freely and the joy he brought to this world will never be forgotten. 

Anthony was preceded in death by his beloved mother, Lisa, in 2005. He is survived by his father, Bob King; his siblings, Ryan, Katie, and Madison; his grandparents, Bob and Karen King, Mary Eastman, and Terry Eastman; as well as the countless individuals whose lives he touched. 

A celebration of life will be held Saturday, Nov. 14, 2026, at 11 a.m. at Real Life Ministries, 1860 N. Cecil Road, Post Falls, Idaho. In true A-Train fashion, attendees are encouraged to wear their favorite sports team apparel in his honor. 

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Anthony’s memory to organizations near and dear to his heart: Team Hoyt CDA, Special Needs Recreation (SNR), or CDA ACT. Please go to www.englishfuneralchapel.com to sign and view Anthony's online guestbook.
