William Voliva Obituary
William “Bubba” Lee Voliva was born July 9, 1975, a son of George Voliva. William passed away on Saturday, January 11, 2020 at the age of 44.
William graduated from Morrilton High School in 1994. He was a proud member of the Devil Dog football team and was #75. He went on the play football in college at Arkansas Tech University. After graduation, he became a juvenile probation officer and that’s where he spent the past 20 years of his life. William was of Catholic Faith and was a member of the Sacred Heart Catholic Church. He was also a proud parent of a Sacred Heart Student, his step-daughter Madison Harper.
Bubba loved to grill, play dominos and cards, and cheer loudly for his favorite two football teams: the Arkansas Razorbacks and Green Bay Packers. Over the years he coached many pee-wee football teams and even a girls’ softball team, Lil Rebels. His all-time favorite place to be was at the beach. His fondest memories were made there, spending time with those he loved. Bubba had a big personality and an even bigger heart. His loss will be felt by many. Let his memories be timeless treasures in your heart.
William was preceded in death in by his father, and his beloved dogs, Copper and Macie.
He is survived by his step-daughter, whom he greatly loved and was very proud of. He also leaves behind a wealth of friends who he considered to be family.
Visitation will be held on Thursday, January 16, 2020 at 1:00 p.m. at Bob Neal and Sons Chapel with services following at 2:00 p.m.
Service and arrangements are by Bob Neal and Sons Funeral Home #5 Bruce St. Morrilton, AR 72110 (501) 354-1638. Obituary/photo/guestbook: www.bobnealandsons.com

In junior high I was on the wrong path in life and Bubba was my probation officer. He helped me overcome many problems and obstacles I had in life. He motivated me to turn my life around. When I ran into him at the store he always asked how was I doing. He will be greatly missed and loved.
