Willis "Willy" Nick Zink, 79, of Warsaw, Missouri, accepted his party invitation to heaven on November 22, 2024. Willy was born May 1, 1945, to Willis "Neal" & Theodora Zink in Leeton, Missouri.

Willy was full of laughter and joy. It was infectious to everyone he was around. He enjoyed sharing his Malibu-soaked pineapple and a joke for any occasion. Willy's handle of "Stogie" rang true until the end. You could always find him with a cigar and whiskey in hand.

Willy always said his favorite job was being retired. He enjoyed sitting in his recliner watching Ancient Aliens, driving around Mack's Camp to see what everyone was up to, and his monthly get-together with family and friends. Willy now has a heavenly view over "The Point" to watch us all.

He is preceded in death by his parents Willis "Neal" and Theodora Zink. He leaves behind his children: Bryan & Becky Zink, Brenda & Brian Ballard, Monica Zink, and Travis Zink; his grandchildren: Nicki & Kyle Osborn, Brett Ballard, Bethany Ballard & Brock Hepler, Kaitlyn & Markus Christensen, Cauy & Trinity Collins, Olivia Zink, Riley & Jordyn Moore, and Nicole & Jim Wurm; his siblings: Karen & Bob Arnold, Debbie Arnold, and many nieces, nephews, and friends.

Smile, 1..2..3.. WHISKEY!

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions are suggested to the Warrensburg Senior Center and left in care of the funeral home.
