Anthony James Petrone, 43
August 23, 2023
Anthony James Petrone, 44, of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, passed away on August 23rd, surrounded by family. Anthony was born on March 5th, 1979, to Angelo and Janice Petrone in Philadelphia. After Anthony graduated from George Washington High School in 1999, he went on to work in transport at Holy Redeemer Hospital.
In 2021, Anthony retired and spent his time playing with his niece, collecting sports memorabilia, keeping up with the Phillies, and spending time with his small dog Sonny. Anthony was a fun spirited soul who took on many passions. One of which included History. He found comfort and peace in telling others of past events and their everlasting impact on today’s world. One of his favorites was Ancient Rome and the many triumphs of the Romans.
Anthony Petrone was predeceased by his father Angelo Petrone and his sister Gina Petrone. He is survived by Janice and James Petrone, Eric and Angelina De Blander.
Services will be held at St. Timothy’s Lutheran Church, 7965 Fillmore Street, Philadelphia PA 19111, on October 14th at 11:30am. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, an organization Anthony felt strongly about.

For as long as I’ve known Tony he has always been a great, genuine, and stand up guy. These past few years he fought with such bravery, strength, and humility. Tony will always be remembered. Rest in Peace my friend.

Tony,
I remember the very first time that I met you at Holy Redeemer Lafayette. When I met you I felt very close to you by having everything in common and liking all of the same stuff. You were one of the best friends that I’ve ever had in my life and you were like a brother to me. I remember all of the stuff that we used to talk about and joke around with while we were at work and outside of work. Every time I watch an Eagles or Phillies game I’m going to always think of you and remember you. Also every time I watch The Karate Kid and Cobra Kai I’m going to always think of you and remember you. It’s so hard to phatom and believe that you passed so soon. I’m in deep shock and devastated. I will always remember you and you will always be in my heart and memories for the rest of my life. Rest in Peace Tony, I love you brother.

We are so saddened by the loss of your son Tony. The good news is Tony is no longer suffering + he is in Heaven w/Jesus. Tony knew who he was in Jesus + he had the peace of Jesus in his heart. He is now dancing on streets of gold w/my daughter Joy. When you draw to God he will draw to you. Amen

Tony was a great guy, very intelligent on all subjects. Never complained about his health situation. Just went with the flow, and enjoyed the company of his family and friends. I I’m happy to consider him a friend.
