Anthony "Tony" Grabowski, 73, of Clinton Township, passed away Wednesday, June 5, 2024, at McLaren Macomb, Mt. Clemens.
He was born in Mt. Clemens on May 3, 1951, the son of the late Charles and Kathryn (Keller) Grabowski.
Tony was a 1969 Clintondale High School graduate. When younger, he worked at Roy Rogers Roast Beef and the Dog & Suds restaurants. Later, he worked at Automotive Dynamics and a car repair facility. Tony was a talented artist who enjoyed sketching, drawing, and creating cartoon strips. Earlier in life, Tony liked traveling with friends and watching the cars go by on Sundays during the Gratiot Cruise. His love of classic cars took him to many car shows and swap meets.
Tony enjoyed simply being at home. He would build models of cars and work on his 1936 Ford Coupe. Otherwise, you could find him relaxing while watching the Discovery of History channels.
Surviving are two brothers, Phil Grabowski of Fremont Township and Steve (Theresa) Grabowski of Chesterfield Township; two nieces, Megan and Rachael (Jon), and two nephews, Steven II and Kyle; two great-nieces, Chian and Peyton, and a great-nephew, J.R., as well as many friends.
He was preceded in death by a sister-in-law, Gail Grabowski, and a niece-in-law, Susan Grabowski.
The family of Anthony extends a warm invitation to all who knew and loved him to join us in honoring his memory. We invite you to visit and share your cherished memories on Thursday, June 13, 2024, from 2:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Kaatz Funeral Directors, Mt. Clemens.

Uncle Tony's handmade birthday cards were the best!! He had such a gift, not only in the artwork, but the humor and thoughtfulness he put into each card. They made a lasting impression on me.

I worked with Tony at AES for a few years. We hit it off right away because of our mutual car interest. Tony was one of the nicest guys, sorry to hear of his passing... Glenn Evans
