Anthony Medina had an exuberant enjoyment of life. His joie de vivre was reflected in his love of theatre, dance, hairstyling and gender-bending performances. He died on Thursday at his Diego Martin home from prostate cancer at 75.
His brother Gregory Medina said eight years ago he had an enlarged prostate and had that treated. This year, Medina discovered he had prostate cancer.
