William Barrows Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Sep. 20, 2025.
William Barrows, 71, passed away on April 18, 2008, in Sarasota, Florida. Born on January 16, 1952, in Virginia, he lived a life rooted in faith, honesty, and deep devotion to his family and his Creator.

A man of unwavering conviction, William was known for speaking his mind and living by the principles he held dear. He read his Bible and prayed daily, always confident in the promise of eternal life with Jesus Christ. His greatest wish was for his family to follow the path of faith that guided him throughout his life.

William's love for his family was profound. He leaves behind his children: Aaron and wife Lauren; Cassandra and husband Scott; Jeremy and wife Megan; and his little angel Kaylyn. His loyal dog Vance also remained a cherished companion. William was predeceased by his father, William Barrows Sr., whose memory he carried with him.

May the memory of William Barrows bring comfort to those who knew him and serve as a lasting reminder of a life lived with purpose, faith, and love.
