William Lyons Obituary
Bill was born in NY and moved to Boca Raton Florida With his family as a toddler.
The youngest of 5 Bill was always tagging along with the older kids emulating the ways of a teenager and learning to drive at the age of 9.
He excelled in sports and had a lifelong love for baseball.
While in elementary school he was introduced to the personal computer. He embraced the technology of the Disc Operating System and mastered the early versions of Microsoft BASIC. This would serve him well later in life and throughout his career in management & information systems.
Bill had a sharp wit, loved to laugh, was an avid reader and was known to be an excellent conversationalist in the subjects of politics, current events, or history.
He was generous with his time and his heart. He will be missed immensely.
Bill is survived by his wife Ana, stepsons Anthony and Jonathan, his mother Carolyn, sisters Stephanie, Elise, Colleen, Brother Donald, Godson Michael, best friend Ismael & Fiancée Bettsey.
A private family service will be held.

William was such a kind man, generous of spirit, and good-hearted. Extremely bright and intelligent with a self deprecating sense of humor, he was a pleasure to be around. He loved his friends and was a loyal person. I am terrifically saddened by his untimely death. Although he had suffered some severe setbacks disappointments in life coming all at once, he endeavored to maintain a positive outlook. He was a still young man with hopes and dreams and didn't deserve to be taken so early. I know he is resting in the arms of the Lord, because he was a moral and deserving servant of God.
