Obituary for Anthony Eugene Jaworski

It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Anthony "Tony" Jaworski.

Tony was born in Milwaukee on Aug. 29, 1956 ,the oldest child of Barbara and Norb Jaworski. He married his high school sweetheart, Joan, and they settled in Oshkosh where they raised their three children. Tony had a passion for staying active and helping others around him. He was a marathoner and spent many hours running the streets of Oshkosh training for the next road race or marathon. He could fix nearly everything and enjoyed fixing up his home and the homes of his children. He also loved technology and kept many friends and families' computers up and running. While his children were young, he was an active member of Oshkosh Youth Soccer Club as both coach and board member.

Tony graduated from James Madison High school in 1975 and went on to earn a degree in special education from UW Oshkosh. He started his career supporting adults with disabilities as the manager of a sheltered workshop. Loving the technology field, Tony later went on to earn an additional degree and was employed as a network administrator for a school district and I.T. support within a healthcare system. While he dedicated much of his time to his work, his favorite "job" was being a dad and grandpa.

Missing him will be his wife of 42 years, Joan, his children Nick (Hande), Amanda (Brian), Scott (Karen) and his grandchildren Jasmine, Lydia, Ava, and Elliott. He is also survived by his mother, Barbara, brothers Dave (Linda), Jeff (Julie), brother-in-law Barry Hansen, many cousins, nieces, nephews, and dear friends. Preceding him in death was his father and sister, Julie Hansen.

We'd like to thank the staff of ThedaCare cancer center and hospice for their care and compassion during his treatment for pancreatic cancer. We'd also like to thank family, friends, and neighbors for the meals, snacks, lawn and garden care, snow shoveling, and most of all your prayers and visits.

Per Tony's wishes, no funeral will be held. We'd like to thank everyone who took the time to attend his celebration in March. He never stopped smiling that day. He loved seeing family, past coworkers, and friends. We celebrate his life and the times we shared and grieve for the days he'll miss.

Love doesn't die, people do. So, when all that's left of me is love, give me away.
