The list of New York athletes to publicly mourn the tragic death of New York Post sports photographer Anthony Causi continues to grow.
After Causi, who passed at 48, lost his battle with the coronavirus late Sunday night, many of those who work in New York sports took to social media to honor the longtime Post photographer and express their grief. Yankees icon Derek Jeter was the latest of a few New York athletes to make their own tribute.
“Anthony was an amazingly talented photographer, and he was an even better person,” Jeter wrote in a Facebook post Monday, attaching a famous photo of himself that Causi had taken. “The sports world feels his loss. My condolences to his family. He will truly be missed.”
Mets general manager Brodie Van Wagenen took to Twitter to share a photo of him that Causi had taken as well.
“Anthony Causi was an artist and a storyteller,” Van Wagenen wrote Monday. “Through his lens, he captured people, places and priceless moments. We lost a kind and talented man. Thank you Anthony for your generosity and your friendship. Your photos and your posts will be forever cherished.”
Causi seemingly reached all levels of the Mets organization, with pitcher Noah Syndergaard referring to him as a “good personal friend” on Twitter Monday morning.
“This is devastating,” he wrote. “Anthony was one of the best in the business. A true professional. He was kind, genuine, and a good personal friend. He will be missed by all who knew him.”
Causi, who leaves behind his wife, Romina, and their children, John and Mia, touched everyone across all New York sports. Former longtime Giants defensive end Justin Tuck also expressed his sorrow.
“RIP Anthony,” Tuck wrote.
