William VanDyke Obituary
ROCKY MOUNT - William, beloved husband of Susan J. Van Dyke, died unexpectedly on September 7, 2019. He is a graduate of East Duplin High School, Beulaville, NC. He worked as an air conditioning mechanic and construction worker. He met his wife, Susan, in 1991, and they married a year later in Whitakers, NC.
Will was a talented artist and lover of all things outdoors. His motorcycle and Labrador retriever, Duke, was his constant companions over the past few years. He was always ready to lend a helping hand to those in need, and was a true country gentleman.
He is survived by his wife, and many cousins in the Duplin County area.
A memorial service will be held at a later date.
Donations are welcome to the Harold Cooley Library in Nashville, NC.
