Anthony Miernicki Obituary

Anthony John "Tony" Miernicki Jr., 52, passed away peacefully Jan. 8, 2021, with his beloved wife by his side.

He was born to parents Anthony John Miernicki Sr. and Geraldine "Gerry" Miernicki (Wufsus) on Dec. 26, 1968, in Hazleton.

Tony was an amazing guitar player who loved playing songs from artists such as Lou Reed, Bob Dylan, Neil Young and many others. His other interests included reading newspaper articles online, listening to music, working on cars and taking in the sights of Denver, Colo., where he resided since January 2014.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Anthony John Sr. and Geraldine Miernicki (Wufsus); a great-aunt, Jean Stanulonis; a stepbrother, Douglas Gantz.

He is survived by his loving wife, Barbara Miernicki (Swetavage); daughters, Emily and Arielle Lapinsky; grandchildren, Jazayah and Ezra Graciano and Jasper Layne Dower; sister, Jennifer Miernicki-Nojunas and husband, Matt; stepmother, Nancy Miernicki; stepsister, Tracie Gantz and husband, Mark Maliniak; aunt, Joyce Margenau (Wufsus) and Uncle Werner; aunt, Kathy Wufsus and late husband, Frank Wufsus; cousins, Heather Margenau, Cheryl Vander-Leest (Margenau) and husband, Joel, Sharon Leitzel (Wufsus) and husband, Kevin, and Lori Sullivan (Wufsus) and husband, Sean. Other relatives include Allen Wufsus, Uncle Ronald and wife, Chrissy Zeigmont and Linda Wufsus and many other cousins, aunts, uncles and friends.

In these difficult times we are unable to provide a ceremony to properly honor Tony's life. Family and friends are invited to a special memorial dinner to share messages, memories and photos of his life. Time and date will be disclosed at a later time. Thank you to all our family and friends who held us in prayer and thought. Tony's spirit will live on in our memories forever and ever. We love you deeply and will miss you tremendously. May you Rest In Peace.
