William Lawrence "Bill" Dyson, 83, passed away on July 4, 2024, at his home in Burleson, TX. He was born on September 22, 1940, in Wichita Falls, TX. At the age of 2, he moved with his family to Ft Worth, where he graduated high school and married his true love, Jean. He served 4 years in the U.S. Air Force before settling down to raise his family in Ft Worth. When Larry and Kristy were grown and out of the house, Bill and Jean retired to their property in Burleson, where they happily lived the rest of their lives.

Bill was well known in the local custom car culture, bringing home numerous trophies for his customizing talents. All family vacations revolved around street rod events. His enthusiasm for customizing automobiles was not just a hobby but a significant part of who he was, evidenced by the model cars, hot rod magazines and automobile memorabilia that he surrounded himself with.

He is survived by his son, Larry W. Dyson and Jaleeta of Ft Worth; daughter, Kristy Dyson of Burleson; six grandchildren; and 13 great-grandchildren.
Bill was preceded in death by his wife and the love of his life, Linda Jean Allen Dyson (Jean), and his parents, William T. Dyson and Margaret Watson Dyson.
