Anthony K. Cheng of Livingston Manor, a retired transfer station operator for the Sullivan County DPW, passed away on Sunday, April 12, 2026 at the Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla. He was 61.

The son of the late Tin On Cheng and Tsang Shiu, he was born November 22, 1964 in Hong Kong. Anthony’s family came to Monticello, NY in 1966 to live with his paternal grandfather James K. Cheng.

Anthony graduated from Monticello High School in 1982 and went on to earn an associate degree from Orange County Community College. Shortly after, he began a long and dedicated career with the Sullivan County Department of Public Works, where he worked for over thirty years before retiring in 2022 after being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease.

Known for his strong work ethic and love of the outdoors, Anthony spent many happy hours tending to his yard, walking his dogs, and simply enjoying time in nature. He loved trips to Alaska; spending time with family, hiking through the woods, and fishing. He was an avid hunter and a proud member of both the Happy Daze Hunting Club and the Southwoods Sportsmen Motocross Club.

His greatest love was for his family and friends and was always there when anyone needed him. His daughters in particular were his pride and joy, never missing a sporting event, concert or dance recital.

He will be remembered for his kindness, sense of humor, and the easygoing spirit he brought to all who knew him.

He is survived by: His loving wife of 19 years, Connie Cheng and beloved daughters Halie and Marlee; siblings Rose (Fred), Jennie, Warren and Vincent (Kristen) nephews James (Lindsay), Henry, Gabriel, Samuel; niece Danielle; great-niece Gwendolyn; and many cousins and extended family members. He was predeceased by: his parents Tin On and Tsang Shiu.
