Anthony Dylan Guarisco – Updated

Anthony Dylan Guarisco, 37, passed away on August 29, 2026, in Conway, Arkansas.

Anthony was born on May 27, 1989, in New Orleans, Louisiana, a place he always carried with him as part of his roots. He was also raised in Nashville, Arkansas, where he attended school and graduated high school.

Anthony was one of those people who could walk into a room and change its entire atmosphere. He was the life of the party, and his laugh had a way of lighting up every room he entered. He had a heart that was just as big as his personality and never hesitated to lend a helping hand to someone in need.

To know Anthony was to know someone who loved deeply and wholeheartedly. He had a way of making people feel welcome, valued, and loved. He gave his heart freely and would do whatever he could to help the people around him.

Anthony was also a master builder and an exceptionally talented craftsman. His creativity and ability to build, repair, create, and bring ideas to life were truly remarkable. He possessed a natural talent that showed itself in so many different ways, and his work was a reflection of the incredible person he was.

Above all, Anthony will be remembered not only for what he could build with his hands, but for the lives he touched with his heart.

He leaves behind his beloved son, Hunter Guarisco; his father, Peter Guarisco; his adopted mother, Michal Beavers Guarisco; his sisters, Natalie Guarisco, Nicole Black, Kristi Russell, and Andrea Angle; and his brother, Leslie Smithpeters.

He is also lovingly remembered by his nephews, Kanyon, Kopelyn, Ryan, Cy, Brayden, and Tate, and his nieces, Kynli, Riley, Faith, Gabby, Emma, and Maci, along with many extended family members, friends, and loved ones whose lives were forever changed by knowing him.

Anthony leaves behind memories that will never fade—his unmistakable laugh, his generous spirit, his willingness to help others, his incredible talents, and most importantly, the love he gave so freely to the people around him.

Though his time here was far too short, the mark Anthony left on the world will continue through his son, his family, his friends, his work, and every person who was fortunate enough to cross his path.

He may be gone from our sight, but he will never be gone from our hearts.

Services are pending at the time but will be announced by Brazzel-Oakcrest Funeral Home, The Funeral Home of Hope, Ben Brazzel, Director.
