He was taken to hospital following a call for concern to police, who attended his address around 8.20pm on Thursday, September 11.
But Anthony – known as Tony – died three days later.
A photo of Tony in his early 20s was released by his family in tribute to the beloved brother.
Sister Sandy said: “My brother Tony was loved by so many family members and friends.
“I just want to say ‘Tony, sleep tight and remember the show must go on.”
Cops have launched an investigation, and 39-year-old man Arno Engels has been charged with murder.
Sussex Police have confirmed the two men were known to each other.
Engels was at the address when police attended, and was initially arrested on suspicion of assault.
He appeared at Crawley Magistrates Court on Thursday, September 18.
Police are still appealing for anyone with information that can help their investigation to come forward.
This includes any witnesses who may have seen or helped Tony in Westcourt Road between 7.20pm and 7.40pm on September 11.
Detective Inspector Amanda Zinyama, of the Surrey and Sussex Major Crime Team, said: “This is a tragic incident, and our thoughts are with Tony’s family and friends.
“Through our initial enquiries, it has been established that the victim and suspect are known to one another and we want to reassure members of the public that charges have now been secured and we are not looking for anyone else in connection with this investigation.”
Police presence will remain at the address as enquiries continue.
