William Kogut Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Dec. 14, 2017.
William F. "Bill" Kogut died suddenly on Monday, December 11, 2017 at the age of 47.

Beloved husband of Jennifer L. (Sevenski), Bill is the loving father of Kylie, and son of Helga M (Mettler) Kogut and the late William F. Kogut.

He is the dear brother of Kathy Kogut (John Horsky) and Maria Shinkunas (Kevin) and devoted uncle of Jack, Collin, Sean, Brady and Avery.

Bill will also be sadly missed by his extended family.

Raised in Langhorne, Bill was a 1988 graduate of Bishop Egan High School. He achieved a Bachelor's Degree in Communications at Rider University and later went on to achieve a second Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering at Temple University.

Bill was a hard worker. While working for Stryker Medical Devices, Bill earned several accolades including Top Sales Representative of the year and the Highest Annual Growth award.

More important to Bill than his work was the love of his family and friends. Bill adored his wife and daughter. His face would light up whenever he was with Kylie, and he shared a special bond with his wife of many years. Bill was also a devoted son and brother. He would drop everything to help his family and was the life of every family gathering. Bill had a true passion for animals and those who knew him understood that his many dogs were also considered to be part of his family.

To his many friends, Bill was fiercely loyal. He remained friends with those from grade school, high school, and college. He considered them to be an extension of his family and loved each and every one.

With his family and friends, Bill enjoyed many hobbies. He loved skiing, scuba diving, boating, fishing, playing beach volleyball, and watching his favorite sports teams. He was an avid outdoorsman and loved hiking with his daughter and dogs. He also enjoyed spending days on the beach.

Relatives and friends are invited to call on Sunday, December 17, 2017 from 2:00 until 5:00 pm and on Monday, December 18, 2017, from 10:00 until 11:00 at the James J. Dougherty Funeral Home, Inc., 2200 Trenton Road, Levittown, where his funeral service will be held on Monday, December 18, 2017 at 11:00 am. Interment will follow in Our Lady of Grace Cemetery, Langhorne.

The family encourages everyone to wear their favorite jersey/shirts in honor of Bill's love of the Philadelphia Sports teams.  Feel free to wear anything that will remind you of him ... but Giants and Cowboys fans should leave their gear at home.

Dearest Jen,
I was online and discovered that your dear husband passed away. I want you to know that my heart aches for you and your precious daughter. Although I never met Bill, you and I worked together for several years, and you always spoke so lovingly of him. Even though I have not seen you for many years, I am so happy to know that Bill was excellent for Stryker and received many awards, and that he was a wonderful husband and Daddy. Just know, Jen, that I will be praying for you daily. You surely need to know the love of Christ and the strength and peace He can give you now and in the days ahead.

Dearest Jen, No words can express the sadness that Bill's passing brings to us. He was always a joy to be around when we saw you. His love for you and Kylie was unparalleled. May you find comfort in knowing that he was loved by all who knew him as this is a true testament of the kind person he was. Rest well my brother.

As a former teacher and Franciscan Friar (Brother Dave) I had the pleasure of knowing Bill throughout his four years at Bishop Egan High School, and then as a fraternity brother with Ray Amato. A fun, loving, smart and intelligent young man.

My heartfelt thoughts and prayers are extended to his wife and daughter and family!

Godspeed,

David Ring
