With immense sadness, we say goodbye to Anthony J Place, beloved family member and friend. Anthony was born in Tiffin, OH and grew up in Medina and graduated from Medina High School in 1999. Anthony continued his education at The University of Akron, graduating, in 2004 with two Bachelor of Arts degrees in Mass Media and Communications.
Anthony was very successful and passionate about what he loved. Whether it be the thriving and very successful remodeling business, his never ending passion and dedication to shoes and his love of nature. His soulful nature and light he brought into many lives will be forever be missed.
Anthony is survived by his sister Annaliesa Place, Diego Garcia, Calima Garcia (9), Vera Garcia (6), many aunts and uncles, cousins and friends. He is preceded in death by his father Milton Place and Mother Winifred (Muska) Place.
In lieu of flowers donations can be made to LifeACT and/or NAMI in Anthony’s name.
A celebration of Life will be held on December 1, 2024 at 11:30am at Rocky River Tap & Social, 19245 Detroit Rd, Rocky River, OH 44116.
He was a great friend and will be deeply missed.
Anthony was a magical human that brought so much love and compassion to our lives. He left us with memories that we will treasure forever. Our hearts are hurting with this loss & we promise to honor him & to love others as much as we can for the rest of our lives.
We are so saddened to hear of Anthony’s passing. The world has lost such a vibrant and beautiful soul to the heavens that called upon him.
We send our prayers and heartfelt condolences to all that miss and mourn this wonderful man.
According to Bill Carmody, in my class Anthony introduced himself by saying, “My name is Place. I play the bass.” May music accompany you Anthony.
I had the good fortune to have Anthony in class during his freshman or sophomore year at Medina High School. He often came in during his study hall for extra help. I loved those times working him one-on-one. He had a wonderful quiet wry sense of humor. When his tutor convinced him that he didn’t need to take a foreign language and that he should drop my class, it left a little hole in my heart. I was so saddened to hear of his death. I will always remember him with fondness.
My husband and I knew Anthony through his business and our daughter graduated from high school with him. Anthony was a dedicated professional when it came to his work. We grew to know Anthony and appreciated his quiet thoughtful manner. We are saddened by his sudden passing and will miss him very much.
