ANTHONY "TONY" ALBERT PELILLO, 19, of Canterbury, NH died unexpectedly on Monday, December 11, 2023, in North Stratford, NH.

Tony was born on March 31, 2004, in Concord, NH a son of Peter Anthony and Andrea Dee (Waddell) Pelillo. He was a lifelong resident of Canterbury, and a graduate of the Merrimack Valley High School, class of 2022.

During high school, Tony worked for Sloping Acres Farm in Canterbury, and after graduation, he worked with his dad at Pete Pelillo's Welding.

Tony loved hunting and fishing. Especially bird hunting at Bob Farrell's camp up north and fishing trips with Bob in the Salmon Chaser. Squirrel hunting at Morrill's Farm in Penacook with his brother and sister. Riding four-wheelers, snow machines, dirt bikes, and mud mowers. He truly loved playing in the mud, popping wheelies, and popping tires. He loved animals of all kinds, they loved him, and he was a true animal whisperer.

Anthony was a loving, compassionate, gentle young man who will be forever loved and missed by all who knew him.

Anthony is survived by his parents Peter and Andrea Pelillo of Canterbury; his identical twin Nicolas and younger sister Savanna also of Canterbury; his maternal grandfather and step-grandmother Richard and Betty Waddell of Springfield, NH; maternal step-grandfather Kevin Frew of Boscawen, NH; many aunts, uncles, cousins, friends and extended family members.
