Celebrating Wink: Milwaukee's Living Legend

Donation protected
Our beloved uncle William Spears, known to many as Wink, was a true legend of Milwaukee. He touched the lives of everyone he met, whether as a father, uncle, brother, or friend. Wink was a pillar of the community, always ready with a helping hand or a kind word, and his presence brought warmth and hope to so many people in Milwaukee.

On July 13, 2026, we lost Wink, and our family is heartbroken. We want to honor his memory with a special home going celebration that reflects the love and respect he earned throughout his life. Wink's impact on the streets of Milwaukee was profound—he made a difference in countless lives, and his legacy will live on in the stories and memories we share.

We're asking for your support to help us cover funeral expenses and give Wink the celebration he deserves. Every little bit helps, and we are deeply grateful for any contribution during this difficult time. Thank you for supporting our family and helping us honor a Milwaukee legend.
