Obituary of Anthony M. Senske

Anthony M. Senske, 19, of Jamestown, passed away Friday April 5, 2024, at Oishei Children's Hospital in Buffalo, NY, surrounded by his family. He was born September 25, 2004, in Jamestown, NY, the son of Cory and Kristi Dean Senske. Anthony attended Jamestown High School and made so many friends throughout his time in the Jamestown district. Anthony had the most infectious smile that lit up the whole room. He had the best laugh and the most mischievous sense of humor. Even though he was not able to verbalize, he spoke louder than any words could speak. He adored all of his friends, including many classmates, school staff members, doctors, nurses, respiratory therapists, and especially his dogs Kenzie and Sasha with whom he had a special connection. Enjoying countless trips to the zoo, Anthony also loved listening to music and therapeutic horseback riding at Centaur Stride. He was a huge football fan, loving the Buffalo Bills and the Northside Warriors. He was also a member of The Stone's Buddies Program and Harrison's Playmakers of Buffalo. Besides his parents, Anthony is survived by his grandparents John and Faith Senske, Wayne and Debbie Dean; his uncle's Nick (Amanda) Senske, David Dean; his aunt Diana (Marcel) Pletea; and many cherished cousins, great aunts, and great uncles who adored him. Anthony was preceded in death by his great grandparents. A special thank you to the doctors, nurses, therapists, respiratory therapists, teachers, and aides who helped care for Anthony for so many years. The funeral will be held at 11 am Thursday April 11, at the Fluvanna Community Church. Friends and family will be received at Lind Funeral Home on Wednesday, from 2 to 4 pm and from 6 to 8 pm.
