William Eastham Obituary
Born in Hartford, he was the son of Sherri (Webb) Sobanski and the late Herbert Sobanski Jr., who passed away on Nov. 2, 2019.
Will grew up in Enfield, graduating from Howell Cheney Technical High School. Most recently, he worked for the Hoffman Auto Group. He enjoyed playing video games, soccer, and spending time with his friends and family. Will had a vibrant personality that could light up a room, a bright smile, and an easy-going demeanor. A devoted son and grandson, loving brother, and friend, he will be deeply missed by so many.
Besides his mother, Sherri, he leaves his siblings, Joseph Sobanski of Berlin, Germany; Nicholas Sobanski of Manchester; Brian and Lillian Sobanski of Enfield; his maternal grandparents, William and Barbara Webb; and his grandmother, Kathleen Shephard.
His family will receive friends on Monday, Nov. 18 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at Leete-Stevens Enfield Chapels, 61 South Road, Enfield, with a service at 6 p.m. Burial will be private for the family. For online condolences, please visit

I was scrolling through a Cheney Tech memorial page and was saddened to come across William's obituary. I didn't realize he had passed. I knew William from Cheney Tech. He was a great kid. My condolences to the family.
