Anthony Kessler

06/25/1961 – 02/03/2026

With great pain and sorrow, we announce that Anthony Kessler – our beloved Tosiu – has passed away. He was forced to face the worst and most aggressive opponent. He fought bravely, with dignity and hope. We fought alongside him. Sadly, we exhausted all available forms of treatment. We believed in a miracle.

Tosiu passed away at home, surrounded by his loved ones and friends – among those he loved and who loved him unconditionally.He was born in Poland and came to the United States in 1982, where he built his life based on faith, hard work, and dedication to others. Anthony was completely devoted to his beloved wife, Zuzanna, with whom he shared a life marked by love, fidelity, and deep commitment. He was a man of deep faith and was actively involved in the life of the Church, living out his beliefs through service, generosity, and quiet acts of kindness. He was known for his extraordinary work ethic, honesty, sincerity, and love for dogs.

Anthony was a loving brother of Wladyslaw Jaje and his wife Danuta, Stefan Jaje (deceased) and his wife Krystyna, Maria Turon and her husband Jan (deceased), and Julia Komperda  and her husband Kazimierz.  He is also survived by his nieces, nephews and cousins, who will cherish his memory with gratitude.

Family and friends are warmly invited to a prayer vigil, which will take place on Friday, February 6, 2026, from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM at Saint Anthony of Padua Church, 457 Monmouth Street, Jersey City, NJ 07302. The Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Saturday, February 7, 2026, at 10:00 AM at Saint Anthony of Padua Church, followed by burial at Saint Gertrude Cemetery, 53 Inman Avenue, Colonia, NJ 07067.
