Bill was a loving man with an unusually compassionate heart and a kind and gentle soul. He was also very funny, loved to act silly, told great stories and made all who came in contact with him laugh (and he had the most beautiful smile!). 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.
Bill always had many friends from the time he was a little boy. He also loved gardening, writing poetry and scary movies. Bill also had a very close relationship with the Lord and had memorized many passages from the Bible. His relationship with Jesus was unusually unique and extremely special.
Bill and his dad were best friends. They have been very close and for the last nine years have worked together daily in developing their business. Bill's entire family will miss him dearly.
Bill also had a very close relationship with his daughter, Kristen, age 17. He loved his daughter very much and when she was little he used to cry everyday he would drop her off at day care. They had a very unique relationship and loved each other very much. Kristen will miss her daddy dearly.
Pallbearers will be John Beck, Donald Chase, Craig Carter, Dr. John Joubert, Lyle Milstead, Johnny Raus, Max Strubelt, James Wadlington. Honorary pallbearers are Jerry Mitchell and Steve Mitchell.
