Publish in a newspaper

Anthony "Sparky" Winiarski, Jr. of Waterford, formerly of Walled Lake was born November 19, 1982 in Pontiac, Michigan to Anthony and Michelle Rosetta (nee: Walch) Winiarski, Sr. He died August 24, 2025 at the age of 42.

Sparky is the beloved son of Michelle (the late Anthony) Winiarski. Loving brother of Mike (Amber) Winiarski, Angela (Eddie) Brie and Anne (Jesse) Marlow. He is survived by his longtime significant other, Trinity LaFave. Dear uncle of Jasmine, Alana, Olivia, Natalie, Jacob, Tripp, Zeek, Nakiya and Liberty. Great uncle of Masen and Azalea. Nephew of the late Midge Folden. Cousin of Cindy, Rick, Bill, Vicki, Mike, April, John and the late James.

Sparky was a big kid at heart, and that's exactly how he lived his life - full of fun, laughter, and love. A lifelong sports fan, Sparky found joy in cheering for his favorite teams and sharing that enthusiasm with those around him. As an avid outdoorsman, Sparky enjoyed fishing, camping, and tending to his garden. He took pride in growing vegetables and sharing the fruits of his labor with those he loved. His nieces and nephews held a very special place in his heart, and he treasured every moment spent making memories with them.
