He went to Ballard High and West Seattle High schools before joining the Army.
He was captured in a major battle near Pyongyang, North Korea in November 1950 and later died in a prison camp.
Sgt. Sparks will be laid to rest with full military honors next Thursday afternoon at Tahoma National Cemetery in Kent.
