William "Bill" Gay, 83, of Signal Mountain, TN, by way of Fort Gaines and Atlanta, GA, was eternally healed on Wednesday, October 8th, 2025. He is remembered as a protective and adoring husband, Dad, Papa, and friend. An encouragement to all, he celebrated the victories and achievements of those he loved. Along with a steady stream of hugs, kisses, and "I love yous", his affection was always evident through witty quips and nicknames only he could devise. He was known for his resilience as he defeated illness and physical challenges time and time again. In the end, those who knew and loved him like to think he "called it off due to lack of interest." While he leaves an unfillable void in the lives of those who love him dearly, we are thankful for the promise of eternal life in Christ Jesus and look forward to the day we will meet again. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Wears Valley Ranch at https://wvr.org/ in Bill's Memory.
