Antonio S. Faial, aged 89, passed away on September 12, 2025, in St. Petersburg, Florida. Born on February 5, 1936, in St. Jorge, Portugal, to Joao and Isabel Faial, Antonio spent his life dedicated to his family and his career in property maintenance within the real estate sector. Antonio is survived by his daughter, Filomena Ceglanski, as well as his son John Faial; grandchildren, Alex (Ariana) Ceglanski, Michael Ceglanski, and Lynn Clapper III; and great-grandchildren, Shilo Ceglanski, Noah Clapper, and Kayden Clapper. He also leaves behind his cherished dogs, Sofie and Champ and his beloved Son-In-Law Blaine Ceglanski. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Etelvina Faial; granddaughter, Jessica Clapper; great-grandson, Landon Kosinski; and his parents. Throughout his life, Antonio was an avid coin collector, a hobby that brought him great joy and fulfillment. He was also fond of gardening and enjoyed watching hockey games, especially cheering for the Tampa Bay Lightning. His passion for outdoor activities and sports was only matched by his dedication to his family and his career. The visitation will be held on September 20th from 3-4 pm, followed by a funeral service at 4 pm, and a reception from 5 to 7 pm at Memorial Park Funeral Home in St. Petersburg, Florida. Antonio's life and legacy will be honored and remembered by all who knew him.
