Anthony Modesto Losito

Anthony “Tony” Modesto Losito, a distinguished federal law enforcement and security professional who dedicated over 25 years of his life to protecting the American people through unwavering service, passed away Thursday, April 24, 2025 at the age of 61. (But he looks 47 at least that is what he would want published.)

Tony was born in the Bronx, New York City. He was a graduate of the New Military Academy, attended SUNY Cortland and University of Phoenix.

A lifelong public servant, Tony served with honor and distinction across multiple agencies within the U.S. government, culminating in his role as Supervisory Special Agent and Deputy Regional Director with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Investigations Division. His federal career also included executive positions with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s Federal Protective Service, where he was a key figure in threat management, internal investigations, and national emergency response.

Throughout his career, Tony was recognized for his leadership, integrity, and commitment to public safety. His expertise spanned executive management, risk assessment, physical security, emergency and incident management, investigations, compliance, and training. He oversaw operations that protected some of the nation’s most critical infrastructure, including the Hoover Dam and a U.S. Navy nuclear submarine base. He also played a crucial role in the Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) where his work contributed significantly to counterterrorism efforts across the nation.

He was a proud U.S. Air Force and Navy veteran, having served in both military branches with distinction. His early federal service started with the U.S. Border Patrol, San Clemente Station. His career included vital investigative roles with the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development’s Office of Inspector General, and his tenure as Chief of Police at the Hoover Dam Police Department left a lasting legacy of modernization and interagency cooperation.

Tony’s accomplishments earned him numerous awards including the DHS Silver Medal, multiple Superior Performance Awards, a commendation from the FBI, and official citations from federal agencies. He was also a 9/11 rescue and recovery worker in New York, an experience that profoundly shaped his dedication to duty.

Tony also worked in the private protection sector including for the Secure Community Network in Denver, Colorado and most recently as Senior Director of Security for Fuel Cell in Danbury, Connecticut helping these companies to adopt plans to secure their facilities and employees. Tony was also the author of two books where he shared his life experience in his endeavors to protect our nations citizens.

Beyond his accolades, Tony was a mentor, a communicator, and a man of discipline and compassion. He was respected by peers, admired by subordinates, and valued by community and federal partners alike.

Tony will be remembered not only for his service and leadership but for the quiet strength, professionalism, and humility with which he carried out his life’s work. Tony was a deeply spiritual person who believed it was a “Sacred Obligation” to take care of others. Above all he wanted people to “Stay brave, stay committed, and never falter, remember we service a mission greater than ourselves.”.

Tony is predeceased in death by his mother, Mary Lee Brewster and his father Anthony Joseph Losito of New York. He is survived by his wife Amy Browne Losito, sons Anthony Marshal James Losito, Aidan Michael Modesto Losito and “crazy puppy” Legend Losito of Grapevine, Texas. He is also survived by his siblings Christopher Losito of Boca Raton, FL, Joey Losito of Wallkill, NY, Timmy Losito of Manassas, VA, and sister Anne Losito of Orlando, FL.
