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.
