Frank William Ferguson II

1965 - 2018

February 26, 1965 - December 15, 2018 In the first hour of Saturday, December 15, 2018, Frank William Ferguson II (Bill), 53, lost his valiant battle to cancer surrounded by those who loved and supported him. Bill's voice and vision will continue to be heralded by his wife, Maria Dellosa Ferguson, his daughters Arielle Sarah (26), and Ryan Cecilia (13), his son William Beauregard "Beau" (12); Bill's brother Rick Monroe & wife Darci; Bill's mother, Jean Ferguson; and his father & wife, Frank Beauregard & Margaret Ferguson; Bill's stepsister Kristy Harper and stepbrother James Townsley; and Bill's in-laws, the Dellosa family. Bill was born on February 26, 1965 in Gainesville, Florida. An exemplary civil and entertainment litigator and transactional attorney for nearly two decades, Bill built a life and a home in Los Angeles having lived in other venues such as England, Kansas, Connecticut and North Carolina. Bill graduated with a bachelor's degree in business administration from Flagler College where he played on the Flagler rugby team and convinced a professor to give him full academic credit for sailing rather than attend conventional classroom instructions. Bill's business pursuits produced such accomplishments as Fergusons' Location Library, Set Design Construction and other ventures including Roxx Vodka and countless others, organically created by coordinating the talents of Bill's many friends and professional colleagues. Bill was blessed with the birth of Arielle in October of 1992. In 1996, Bill met Maria, the love of his life, at University of La Verne College of Law and they married on May 8, 2004; soon after, rounded out Bill's family with Ryan, born in January of 2005, William "Beau, born in May of 2006, and adopted dogs named Judge and Wrigley. Maria, currently an attorney for the County of Los Angeles Child Support Services Department, provided the perfect complement to Bill's sense of endless adventure and helped to settle Bill into a life of stability and security. Much as he was devoted to his friends and family, Bill was more than a loyal fan to his treasured Chicago Cubs, Bears, & Bulls, and the Florida Gators. Bill played baseball in his young years and in his adult years, Bill loved to play a round of golf, to take a sailboat out on the ocean, to cook up a storm, and was rarely found without his new found love - his camera -memorializing the moments of his life that he was so proud to share with the world. There was never a father more committed or proud to support his children's academic or extracurricular pursuits. Bill was an extraordinary spirit whose voice will never be silenced by his physical absence. His wisdom and charm will be long remembered by those who cherish his vivid memory. He will long be remembered for his wit, compassion and generosity.
