Bill Sparks 2023William M. Sparks   1945 - 2023

My father, William (Bill) Sparks, passed away sadly but comfortably  Sunday morning, surrounded by his family. He was a kind and loving man with a heart of gold.  There are so many who loved him and will feel this loss –  in the business world and far beyond.  He would say thank you to all of his small-business customer for their support, and he would wish everyone peace and happiness. I have run the William M. Sparks Insurance Agency for many years now, and I will continue to run it just as my father did and as he would want me to do.  On behalf of my family, I thank you all for your kind words, well wishes and support at this time.   --- Danielle Sparks

Our History

I formed the William M. Sparks Insurance Agency in October 1981. It was started in a room in my home in Sykesville. My wife and I were very much interested in establishing a business which would have the idea of being helpful in the insurance industry. We thought of extending the "Golden Rule" to the business and have our policyholders give us feedback on how we could improve.

While some things have changed over the years our agency still tries to improve its position in the business world and also its service to our customers. We want to try to help all who come to our agency with a personal touch and concern. While our agency is not the largest agency in the business we feel that our service is always the best. We provide personalized service, return telephone calls, the same person to talk with and 24 hour claims service via "800" numbers to the companies. We hope to see you come to our agency.
