Anthony Paul Cherry, age 57 of Mount Hermon died Monday, August 25, 2025 surrounded by his family at TJ Samson Community Hospital in Glasgow. The Barren County native was born on June 9, 1968 to the late George Cherry and Mary Ann Oliver.
Anthony traveled the highways for many years as a self-employed truck driver and he was a member of Caveland Baptist Church. His greatest joy was his family, whom he cherished above all. His enthusiasm for life was matched by his deep passion for Peterbilt semi trucks. He would light up at the sight of a beautifully dressed-up Peterbilt, sharing his excitement with those around him. Anthony found inspiration in the outdoors, endlessly tinkering and creating, always eager to start new projects and see where his curiosity led. Whether attending truck and tractor pulls, riding dirt bikes, four wheelers, or his Harley Davidson, he embraced every adventure with a smile. Anthony’s energy and love for life inspired those who knew him to follow their passions and treasure every moment.
