His favorite place to be for peace and tranquility was his family's farm in La Grange, Texas which they called "The Land."
Bill loved the outdoors. He loved to fish. He and his wife Stacie went fishing often and spent a
great deal of time on their island property off the Texas coast and in the Gulf of Mexico fishing. They enjoyed boating, listening to music (and make up their own words to the songs), riding their dirt bikes and dancing. They loved to play word games while on road trips, of which they took many. They liked to just get in their car and go and end up wherever they ended up. One of their favorite things to do together (which they did several times a month) was "go to the alligators"...a park in a small town outside of Houston where the alligators run free and you can walk right past them. But most of all, they loved to laugh. He also loved the two dogs, Fred and Max, that he and Stacie had.

To my friend and brother, Bill. You have a heart as big as Texas and a smile that will never age. Your spirit will live on in me and all those you loved and touched. Thank you for being my friend. Peace to you.
To my dearest brother-in-law. What a gift you gave my sister, Stacie Jo Jasper. Just to have you in her life. You were her best friend. You were so good for her and changed her life. Although, you both seemed to amaze me with going on your boat during hurricanes and walking with the alligators. Remember the time when you thought the slime was an alligator? Your niece Lauren does and she thinks that is so funny! Remember you told us what heaven is going to look like? I WANT those ruby floors with diamond doorknobs. Lauren thinks you are the funniest (with your iced milk)and the wisest man in the world. It is funny she says that because I bragged about you and still do. I have NEVER seen anyone quote (not interpret)the Bible like you. You were right with God and you were saved. GOD IS FORGIVING AND MERCIFUL AND HE HAS SET A PLAN INTO MOTION FROM THE DAY YOU WERE CONCEIVED AS TO HOW WE WOULD GO. YOU WERE PUT ON THIS EARTH TO FULFILL A PURPOSE AND ONCE THAT PURPOSE WAS FULFILLED HE THEN CALLED YOU HOME. I believe that you have given me another chance with the Lord. Something I never had before. I want to thank you for changing my life. Listen to me. I have never PREACHED like I have before and YOU did this to me. YOU have fulfilled a purpose with me. OK, Here I go again! What did you do to me? The Bible says that He will not allow one to stand more than one can bear and that He is our strength. You believed and you are now OK. I did not truly know the Bible until I met you.
Jesus will promise you one thing and this is by far my favorite one for you. He said "I am the resurrection and the life-he who believes in me though he may die-yet shall he live." John 11:25. You know how clueless I was about the Bible. You are smiling now, I know. You have fulfilled your purpose!!! You asked me if I knew the sinners prayer? You told me and you said it. You confessed and He saved you everyday. You belong to Him! You are forgiven and we love you. Oh and when we see you, let's build the biggest sand castle ever!!!!!
Stacie & Family...
What a beautiful tribute. Our family is so sorry for your loss. A loved one is a treasure of the heart, and to lose a love one is like losing a piece of yourself. Cling to all the wonderful memories and let them find their way to heal you. Your in our thoughts & prayers.
To my friend, Bill. You had the best smile! Thank you for the opportunity that I was given to have you as my friend. Thank you for being such a wonderful light in my best friend Stacie's life. I know how much you adored one another. Thank you for your big heart, kind words, and great wisdom. I will miss you. Shine on!
To a man, I knew as a boy, that I always loved. I wish we would of stayed in touch. You made my heart sing. I will miss you.
Apsari and I wish to express our deepest condolences to all of Bill’s family and friends. As I sit here in shock and dismay contemplating the loss of my friend Bill all of the memories of him and the times we shared come flooding back. Of course the overriding image is of that irrepressible grin. In this time of pain and loss we must all remember that that smile is not lost to us that enjoyed the pleasure and honor of Bill’s friendship and love. It is not lost because it will live on in all our hearts forever.
To a wonderful man named Bill. I want to express what a great impact you had on my best friend's life. When Stephanie came back from Texas, she couldn't stop talking about what a woderful person you were. You made an impact on her life and that makes me happy! Although we have never met, I have learned what a generous person you have been. All my best wishes to your family. Rest in peace.
I will forever cherish our memories. You were a true friend to me. I will NEVER forget you!
To Nelda and Les, we didn't know Bill, but can only imagine what grief there is to lose a child. Because he was your son, he had to have been a wonderful person...please know that all of us out here send you our deepest and most sincere love and care.....you know, I hope, how much you are loved....Marsha and Dale and Waldemar
I will never forget you especially as we shared the same birthday. I always thought of you on May 8th and will continue. You have a big heart and will be missed. My thoughts and prayers to everyone.
On behalf of my entire family, I want to thank you and your staff for your excellent and caring service.
Thank you for all you did to make our mother's funeral special, dignified, and easy for us.
I just can't express to you enough how much we appreciated the kindness and professionalism my family experienced with you and your staff.
Thank you for treating my beloved mother with honor and respect all throughout the process.
