On Friday, January 2, 2026, Kevin J. Dusenbury, Coroner, was sworn into office as Potter County Coroner by the Honorable Stephen Minor, for his ninth term in office.

Kevin states in these years he has been very thankful to the voters who have overwhelmingly supported him. He has made many friends in the day to day operation of the office with members of every fire and ambulance department, law enforcement, nurses and physicians, and the lab at UPMC Cole, along with his colleagues at the Erie County Coroner’s Office, and Dr. Todd, the pathologist at the Erie County Coroner’s Office.

The Coroner’s Office also is happy to share that through grants made available to the Coroner’s Offices throughout the Commonwealth, we have, over the years, received over $80,000.00 to use for expenses relevant to our office—at no expense to Potter County residents.

Dusenbury thanks each of the Deputy Coroners who serve with him. Kevin states he has an amazing group of partners who bring a wide range of talents to the office, from law enforcement, fire and EMS backgrounds, but is most especially thankful for the friendships he shares with each of them.

It is his sincere prayer that no family needs our services, but rest assured our office motto remains the same as day one, “qualified, experienced, available and caring, yes very caring.”

With Best Regards, Kevin J. Dusenbury, Potter County Coroner
