Anthony James LaFountain, Jr. (Cheyenne Name:  Homa'ėhesta Beaver Heart) began his earthly walk on May 26, 1981, when his parents, Anthony James Sr. and Lenora Mae (Redcherries) LaFountain welcomed him to this world in Crow Agency, Montana.  Sonny as he was known, was the oldest of 6 children which included 2 brothers and 3 sisters.

Sonny worked as a cashier and CNA while pursuing his degree in business. He liked music, video games, movies especially old horror films, he definitely liked to joke and laugh and was always referencing lines from movies.  He enjoyed reading books & his favorite was 'The Grapes of Wrath.' Sonny was what some would deem a 'sneaker head' and had a love for Cortez shoes. He was quick to lend a ear to listen & give advice to whomever needed it, he had a way of bringing people out of a slump & making them realize that things weren't so bad. Sonny was very sympathetic although most people never got to see that side of him. he was very artistic & could draw & write poetry without any hesitation.
