Bill McKinzie Obituary
3/17/47 - 7/29/24
Bill McKinzie died at home, in Spring, Texas, on July 29, 2024.
He was born in Pensacola, Florida, to navy pilot William McKinzie and Evelyn Mitchell McKinzie. Bill was a Vietnam Veteran and a graduate of Texas State University, formerly known as Southwest Texas. He worked as a directional driller for several oil companies in many places. A few being the North Sea, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Colombia under armed guard. There was nothing he was too afraid to do.
Bill is survived by his wife, Ann Southard McKinzie, of 47 years, sister Sharon (Luis) Acevedo, his two beloved children, of whom he was always proud, Paige McKinzie Bellicini and Scott William McKinzie, his wife Kristy, and Chris Bellicini.
Nothing made Bill happier than to be with his four grandchildren, Carson Adam Bellicini, Connor William McKinzie, Caroline Ann McKinzie and Olivia Paige Bellicini.
