Anthony Dudchik Obituary

Anthony Thomas Dudchik. Anthony, 19, along with his revered big brother, Robert, passed away Thursday, April 28, 2022 from injuries sustained in an auto accident. Anthony was born on October 25, 2002 in Middletown. He was the adored son of Thomas and Nora Fitzgerald Dudchik of East Haddam. Anthony was currently a freshman at Southern Connecticut State University which he enjoyed - Anthony made many friends during his short stay at Southern. Anthony graduated from Nathan Hale-Ray High School in East Haddam where he was a member of the soccer and track teams. Prior to studying at Southern, Anthony was employed by Shagbark Lumber and Farm Supplies, working there since he was 15. Anthony thoroughly enjoyed working at Shagbark and was much loved by the staff there. Anthony was a gifted photographer and a lover of anime. He spent many nights in front of the fireplace discussing with us his love of the genre. Anthony leaves behind his grief-stricken parents Tom and Nora Dudchik of East Haddam, his grandmother Dorothy Dudchik of Ansonia, aunts and uncles including Nancy Dudchik of Branford, Godparents Kathleen and Dr. Daniel Tardif of South Windsor, Peg Fitzgerald of South Windsor, Timothy Fitzgerald of Windsor, Terrence Fitzgerald of Farmington, Brigid and Michael Arace of Bexley, OH, Anne and Josh Howroyd of Manchester, Sean and Rachael Cracknell Fitzgerald of Medford, MA. He also leaves behind many loving cousins who are heartbroken, classmates and friends and his beloved dog, Pitch. Everyone loved Anthony - there was a lot to love. He was predeceased by his grandmother Shirley Politis and her husband Ron. Anthony was a bright shining light in our lives. Our love for him was immeasurable. We will forever cherish our time with him and miss him until our last breath. Rock the heavens Anthony! There are no calling hours. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Monday, May 9, 2022, 11:00 am at St. Joseph's Church, 48 Middlesex Avenue, Chester. WTNH, Channel 8 will be live-streaming the service on wtnh.com and on their Facebook page. Burial will be immediately following in the cemetery adjacent to the church.

Anthony was an absolute joy to teach in first grade. He made a big impression as a sharp-dressed little firecracker who kept me on my toes and laughing. He was always willing to ham it up for a smile, and the memory of him strutting around the classroom in a little suit and bow tie brings a smile to may face so many years later. Please know that both of your boys brought so much light into this world. My heart is with your family.

To Tom and Nora, I offer my heartfelt condolences. It is difficult to put into words the sadness I feel. Anthony was a funny, full-of-energy young man, and his time in my classes were entertaining. I appreciated his humor and his helpfulness towards those around him. Thank you for allowing me the pleasure of teaching your son!

I am so very sorry for your loss. Anthony was a student in my public speaking class this semester. He was personable with his classmates and always seemed to have a positive attitude. When he spoke about his brother to the class, it was clear how much Anthony looked up to him and how they had a special connection. My thoughts are with you all at this incredibly difficult time.
