Antonio "Tony" Alvarado Rosales, a cherished husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend, passed away peacefully on September 8, 2025 in Lansing, Michigan, surrounded by his loving family. Born on June 20, 1940, in Cass City, Michigan, Tony lived a life marked by dedication, creativity, and a spirit of adventure.
He proudly served his country as an Army veteran, a period of his life that instilled in him a sense of discipline and commitment that he carried into his civilian life. After his military service, he joined General Motors, where he became a respected employee known for his camaraderie with his colleagues.
Beyond his professional achievements, Tony was a skilled woodworker. His hands could craft wood into beautiful and functional pieces that became treasured possessions in the homes of his family and friends. This creative outlet was not only a testament to his talent but also a hobby that brought him immense joy and fulfillment.
Tony's love for travel and camping was well-known among his close-knit circle. His adventures across different landscapes were stories he recounted with a twinkle in his eye, inspiring others to explore the beauty of the world around them. These experiences enriched his life and the lives of those he shared them with.
Tony is survived by his beloved wife, Barbara, daughter, Teresa, and son, Michael (Lisa). Along with his grandchildren, Cody (Holly), Zachary (Shay), Michael, Daniel and Tyler, great-granddaughters, Ryleigh and Oaklyn. Tony was preceded in death by his parents Everett and Dolores and his brothers Henry and Rudolph.
