Anthony "Tony" Lipari, 69, of Lenexa, KS, was found to have gone onto the Lord on Sunday, April 12, 2020. Anthony was born in Kansas City, MO, on October 13, 1950.

Tony was preceded in death by his parents, Sam and Merle Lipari; and his son, Michael Lipari. He is survived by his children: son, Anthony Lipari (April) of Overland Park, KS, Jennifer Smith (Chris) of Walsall Wood, UK, and Kristin Lipari of Prairie Village, KS. Tony leaves behind his grandchildren, Rena (20), Christian (18), and his best buddy, Brayden Lipari (6); his five sisters, Vicki Slinkard (Bub), Gene Littleton, Pauline Slinkard (Roger) of Oak Ridge, MO, Sandy Keilberg of Stockton, MO, and Joan Luken of Iola, KS. He was also a dear friend to many and never seemed to have any enemies.

Tony graduated from Paseo High School in 1969 where he was part of the swim team and the golf team. Recently he loved taking Brayden fishing, playing cards with friends, watching baseball - either the T-Bones or the KC Royals - and cheering on his favorite football team the KC Chiefs! Tony got his first job at the age of 15 working at McDonald's. He spent most of his life, after reaching management position, working at several different restaurants and even owned four Burger King's at one point during his career.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date this summer. As Tony would always say "GO Chiefs!!"
