Anthony Francis Dalessandro, III
With deepest sorrow, our family shares that Anthony Francis Dalessandro III, our devoted husband, father, son, brother, family member, and friend, passed away unexpectedly on March 14, 2022.
Anthony was born to Darlene Anne and Anthony Francis Dalessandro Jr., on September 27th, 1994. Anthony grew up in DeWitt, MI with his brother Andrew and sister Alexis. In 2015, Anthony met his wife Ashley, and they were married in May of 2020. Later that year, he became a father to son Anthony Francis Dalessandro IV.
Anthony was an avid outdoorsman like his father, where he found peace and solace in fishing, hunting, and cultivation. In his free time, he could be found on his boat, in a deer blind, watching sports, or spending time with his many family and friends.
Within his beloved 27 years of life, Anthony touched the lives of many and will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
He is survived by his wife Ashley, son Anthony, parents Anthony and Darlene, siblings Andrew (Autumn) and Alexis, dogs Azzi and Archie, Grandfather Anthony Dalessandro and Grandmother Janice Dalessandro, Grandparents David and Joyce Bordui, and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
The funeral service will be held at 1:00 p.m. Saturday, March 19, 2022, at Redeemer United Methodist Church, 13980 Schavey Rd., DeWitt. His family will receive friends at the church from 12:00 noon until service time on Saturday.

March 17, 2022 at 6:52 pmAnt I love you bro. I am at a loss for words. Too many great memories to share; from fishing perch in Canada to hunting deer together the last few years. Love you and your family so much… Praying.

March 17, 2022 at 7:15 pmThis hurts my heart to read. I was always so fond of him and his passion for fishing and wilderness and the happiness that it brought him. He was always willing to share a story of his most recent fish, his dogs and his wife. Anthony was kind, considerate, polite, respectful and an all around good kid. I feel fortunate for knowing him and saddened knowing I have seen his last adventure. Peace be with him and his family.

March 17, 2022 at 7:17 pmI’ll never forget the times we laughed together until our stomachs hurt, or all the great days we had on the water. You were the best friend and fishing partner I could ever ask for, and I’m gonna miss you like crazy. Rest in peace brother.

March 17, 2022 at 8:34 pmWords couldn’t adequately express my sincerest sympathy to all of Anthony’s family and friends. My favorite memories are waking up to make my coffee and Anthony would be all curled up under a blanket sleeping on my couch or sprawled out on the living room floor if he didn’t call the couch first. Always smiling, always sweet and helpful and easy to have around. I always loved making flowers for him to give to the ladies when he came to my shop and catching up on life when he did. Rest easy and fly high, you’re going to be deeply missed and were very loved. God speed…

March 17, 2022 at 9:44 pmI just saw you a couple months ago, the last thing we said to eachother is love you. And I will never forget that. You shared SO many memories with not only me but my sister Paige. You were her bestfriend. Our family adored you, the Father you were, and the husband to Ashley you were. Your smile was contagious and when people talked to you, you brightened their day Ant. Thank you for the memories and laughs you shared with my family and I. We love you so much

March 17, 2022 at 11:10 pmI still can’t believe you are actually going. You were such an inspiration to everyone that was lucky enough to have you in their lives. I looked up to you, I immediately bonded with you when I started in cultivation. You were always there to help me with a positive attitude. You would always laugh at my jokes even when they weren’t funny. I knew that every time I would bump into you we were going to have a meaningful conversation. I miss you Anthony!!!

March 18, 2022 at 1:01 amEighth grade was when we started doing school ski/snowboarding trips and I got to ride with you and the boys. I remember my first time going down the terrain park with y’all and you saying “you got it linds you got it” as I did my first rail. You always made me feel so welcome, so included. Godspeed Ant. May angels lead you in.

I’ll never forget how you enthusiastically saved a bird that got trapped in our fireplace! It sounds small but I was distressed as I didn’t know what to do. You immediately stepped up, took control of the situation, and freed the bird! It was such a relief to know that bird lived and it was because of your action. It’s just one story about your kindness! I know there are many! Wishing you and your family moments of peace during this time of anguish.
Hugs to Dar, Tony, Andrew, Alexis and family!

March 19, 2022 at 8:35 pmI had so many memories growing up with Anthony. I use to love riding bikes together and jumping them off of ramps in the park near your house. My favorite thing we use to do was catch frogs in your back yard. I even remember how upset we both were when they built the home behind your parents house. We even went and begged the builders to not fill in the little pond to no avail. We spent so much time over there I could still draw your house from memory. I really regret not staying in touch through out the years. I miss those days and I love you man! RIP.

March 21, 2022 at 9:25 pmAnthony and I grew up together spending hours having fun outside, playing guitar, soccer, riding bikes, snowboarding and family trips. What I’ll remember most about Anthony is his charisma, unique athleticism and creativity to conquer anything. It seemed like every other week he learned a new skill or song on the guitar and was excited to share his experiences with me. I am amazed by his talents, especially when I watched him land a kickflip on a skateboard for the first time. He inspired all of us kids in the neighborhood to try our best and have a good time. Thanks for sharing your life with us and helping my brother learn about hunting and fishing in recent years. Your passion for adventure will continue to inspire everyone. Love you Anthony.
