Anthony Wisneski Obituary

Anthony J. Wisneski III of Nanticoke was sadly taken from us at the early age of 34. He passed away Sunday, July 9, 2017.

He was the son of Irene Pahler and the late Anthony J. Wisneski Jr. He attended Hanover Area High School.

He was employed by Quality Plastering of Sugar Notch.

AJ will always be remembered for his love of life, his contagious smile, laughter and his unmistakable (raspy) voice. His quick-witted humor was one of a kind and his heart was as big as they come. Through all the ups, downs and curveballs of life, his strength and headstrong mindset was remarkable.

AJ's love for his wife and children was the kind of love we all one day wish to have. He was an amazing and loyal husband, father, son, brother, uncle and friend. He will be greatly missed by anyone who ever had the pleasure of knowing him.

Surviving, in addition to his mother, are his wife, Shannon Keller Wisneski; his daughter, Savannah Wisneski (age 10); sons, Anthony Wisneski IV (age 11), Dylan Tuthill (age 14) and Quentin Keller (age 19); his sister, Melissa Southworth; niece, Samantha Warner; and nephews, Sean Warner and Leo Southworth Jr.

AJ was preceded in death by his father, Anthony "Butchie" J. Wisneski Jr.; stepfather, Michael Pahler; maternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Eddy; and his paternal grandparents, Anthony "Digger" J. Wisneski Sr. and Loretta Wisneski.

A viewing service will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday at Charles V. Sherbin Funeral Home, 630 Main Road, Hanover.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Anthony "AJ" Wisneski GoFundMe account on Facebook.
