Anthony "Tony" Santi Obituary
Anthony “Tony” Santi, 41, a lifelong resident of Kansas City, MO, passed away Thursday, October 6, 2022, in Independence, MO. Visitation will be 2:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Tuesday, October 11, at The Rock of KC, 12750 N. Winan Avenue, Kansas City, MO 64163. Funeral Services will be 11:00 a.m. Wednesday, October 12, at The Rock of KC. Burial will follow at Resurrection Cemetery, Kansas City North.
Anthony was born May 6, 1981, in Kansas City, MO. His career began in 2011 with the Kansas City, Missouri Fire Department. He was dedicated to helping people through his role as a fire fighter and EMT. In his later years, Tony was an avid humanitarian changing many lives for the greater good. Tony was a dedicated father, and his daughter Jillian was the light of his life. He had a vast love for nature and being outdoors. Tony was happiest being at the lake paddleboarding, hiking and spending time with his beloved dog, Donnie.
Tony could be seen with an infectious smile on his face and was often the one to bring laughter into the room. He was very family oriented and loved family get togethers. Tony enjoyed travel and making memories with his mom, sister, daughter, niece, and nephews. He valued spending time on his father’s farm riding four wheelers and spending time with his thoughts. Tony has a special place in his heart working with the Floribama community. He was a true protector of his cousins and always looked out for friends and loved ones. Tony always stood up for what was right. He was very involved in his spirituality and wanted more than anything for world peace and people to be unified.
Tony was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents Salvatore “Sam” and Josephine (Radosta) Pernice; paternal grandfather Jerry Santi; and his aunt Linda Pernice.
Tony is survived by his daughter Jillian Santi; mother Angel Pernice; father Theodore “Ted” Santi; sister Christina Raines (Philip); niece Ava Raines; nephews Samuel and Benjamin Raines; uncles and aunts Philip P. Pernice, Jack Pernice (Robin), Steve Pernice (Lori), Annette Silvio (Tom), Tim Santi, Victoria Tran (Hieu), Coleen Ward (Paul), Carla Smith; and several cousins.
Pallbearers will be his cousins: Vincent Pernice, Salvatore Pernice, Dominic Pernice, Michael Pernice, Anthony Pernice, David Castro, Joe Mike Castro, Paul Silvio, Salvatore Silvio and Anthony Silvio.
Honorary Pallbearers: Shawn Collins, Chris Arzola and Woodie Bonds.

I was honored to play pipes for Tony today. I know you’ll probably hear this a lot, but Tony IS a hero as a fire fighter and as a person. It takes a special person to put other people first. I am the proud daughter of a KCMO fire fighter, retired, and again it was a honor to play for Tony’s last alarm. In peace, Susan Speck

Tony was a neighbor of mine and was always so nice. I will miss seeing him at our pool and also out walking his little dog. His dog and my dog never seemed to get along, but we would always stop and talk. He was such a sweet guy and I will surely miss him! I am praying for his family during this tough time!

I met Santi my first day on the job. He taught me the ropes on and off the job. He was very spiritually connected to his reality along with his favorite K9, Donnie. This man loved his daughter and always talked about her in any topic. Santi will be dearly missed as i always came to him for advice.

I met Anthony about a yr ago and was blessed to get together with him around 4 weeks ago and have a discussion about life and he definitely helped change my outlook on it. I will never forget the long chat we had that will forever change my life. Anthony checked up on me at least 2-3 times a week the last few weeks. You will dearly be missed my friend!
