Anthony Russell Obituary
Anthony Russell, 73, of New York, NY, died peacefully on Friday, February 27, 2026.
Anthony was born in Newark, New Jersey in 1952, where he graduated high school, before embarking on a lifelong adventure of travel and discovery. He trekked across the globe before landing permanently in New York City, the place that he loved the most. He enjoyed a prolific career as a musician, writer, and stylist, but perhaps was most renowned and beloved for his remarkable ability as a psychic medium and reader. His legion of clients remained faithful to him over many years and readings, and he was often generous with his gifts to help others in need.
Anthony was a lifelong student, having completed college in New York City and graduate programs in Psychology. He was gracious with his time and volunteered his efforts to support pediatric cancer patients. Above all, he was an upstanding man and a loyal friend full of life, laughter, and an infectious enthusiasm that brought people together in good spirit.
He will be dearly missed by all who had the extraordinary fortune to have known him.

It´s hard to get your head around when something like this happens and someone you know and grew up with. I appreciated your support when I went through my cancer and my hope is that you did not suffer. It´s always sad to lose a family member.
