Obituary of Anthony "Lucky" Yolla

Anthony “Lucky” Yolla

Known in Lake Havasu as the “Miracle Boy”

Anthony “Lucky” Yolla was called into the arms of Jesus on January 24, 2019 at the young age of 24 years old. Lucky was born right here in Lake Havasu City on November 16, 1994 to Nancy Yolla (Magness) and John Yolla. Lucky graduated from Lake Havasu High School in 2013.  His dream was to tell his testimony and live a happy life. He was hoping to someday be healthy enough again to drive the race car he and his Dad built.

Lucky had a deep Christian Faith and lived 20+ years beyond what doctors said he would on Prayers and Nutrition.   Although he had many setbacks in recent years, he lived his life with his Dad and they had an unbreakable bond. Lucky had a positive outlook every day no matter what he was facing. People would always ask him, “How’d you get that nickname Lucky?” He would be proud to say “My dad named me that, it’s on my birth certificate.  It’s my real name”. His smile was contagious and his optimism was endless. He had the spirit of a warrior and yet everyone who knew him said he was as gentle as a lamb.

He shared his Dad’s passion for building Hot Rods and race cars and always looked forward to going to car events with him. It didn’t matter to Lucky if he was off-roading or playing with one of his RC cars; if it had an engine and wheels, it made him happy.

Lucky was not only loved by his parents and many family members but also by his car buddies. His Dad wishes to thank the many people, churches, realtors, doctor’s offices, clubs and organizations of Lake Havasu City that showed their support throughout his years.

Lucky’s spirit is now free to drive that off-road race truck or supercharged drag car of his choice in Heaven.

Although you are gone way too soon, you will always be in our hearts and never forgotten.

A memorial service will be planned at a later date.
