How you can help
Anthony Parente’s life was a testament to passion, dedication, and the power of connection. Born and raised in a small rural town in New Jersey, Anthony’s journey took him to Penn State University, where he pursued his dream of studying aerospace engineering. At Penn State, he excelled academically, built lifelong friendships, and became a proud member of the Kappa Sigma fraternity.
After graduating in 2012, Anthony began his career at Pratt & Whitney, where he worked on the design and production of aircraft engines. His career later brought him to Washington, DC, where he joined Deloitte’s Government and Public Service (GPS) practice. As a Senior Manager, Anthony specialized in the digital transformation of Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) operations for aircraft, combining his technical expertise with a vision for modernizing Supply Chain operations. His colleagues admired him for his professionalism, work ethic, unwavering support, and sense of humor.
Washington, DC, was home to him, his fiancé Laura, and their adopted and adored puppy, Oli. Anthony and Laura's wedding date was July 12th, 2025, in their cherished city, with wedding celebrations in Colombia and New Jersey.
As his plane was descending into DCA on his return home from a business trip, Anthony’s life was unexpectedly cut short in the mid-air collision between American Airlines flight 5342 and an Army Black Hawk helicopter. His passing on January 29, 2025, has left an unfillable void in all who knew and loved him.
Anthony was a beloved son to Bill and Renee, brother to Justin and Faith, fiancé to Laura, and a friend to many. He was a cherished member of the “DC5”, a close-knit group of Penn State alumni and friends, where Anthony brought joy and connection to their monthly Supper Club gatherings, a tradition that spanned nearly four years. His warmth, laughter, and loyalty touched everyone he met.
We have established The Anthony Parente Fund for Academic Excellence in honor of Anthony's incredible life and legacy. Together, we can ensure that his memory lives on by empowering future generations of Penn State engineers to achieve their academic goals and make a difference in the world.
We invite you to celebrate Anthony’s life by contributing to this scholarship fund. Every donation will help us build a legacy that reflects Anthony’s hard work, kindness, and connection values.
