Billy Wayne "Bill" Brusenhan

Billy Wayne "Bill" Brusenhan, 73, of Hot Springs Village, AR passed away on October 12, 2025. Bill Brusenhan lived every day like it was meant to be an adventure. Born on August 8, 1952, Bill had a spirit that was half fearless and half fun. Whether he was out on the golf course, adventuring the road on his motorcycle, four-wheeling through the trails, snow skiing a mountain, or spending a day out on the lake, Bill was in his element. Wherever he went, Marynell and his loyal dog Harley weren't far behind.

Bill never did anything halfway - he loved deeply, laughed loudly, and had a knack for bringing people together. He could turn a regular afternoon into a story worth telling and made friends everywhere he went.

He leaves behind his loving wife, Marynell Branch, who shared in his adventures and his heart. He is also survived by his sisters, Judy Moon and Debbie Sanders; his children, William, Devon, Matthew, and Stasia Kalkbrenner, and Misty, Randy, Cody, and Hannah Cloyd, Traci and Johnny Kerr, and Brad Brusenhan and his adored grandchildren - Cole and Austin Brusenhan; Henry, Vivian, Huxley, and Maverick Kalkbrenner; Kaleigh and Chris Spencer - who were the light of his life and the reason for many of his proudest smiles. He also leaves behind great-grandchildren Karsyn and Case Spencer, who brought him endless joy.

Bill is now reunited in heaven with his first wife, Cindy, and his beloved son, Brian, whose memories he carried with him always.

Bill's life was full - full of motion, laughter, family, and the kind of moments that stick with you forever. Those who knew him will carry his stories and his spirit wherever life takes them next. He grew up in Texas, traveled the world for work before settling in Hot Springs Village.

A celebration of Bill's life will be held at Christ of the Hills Methodist Church, 700 Balearic Rd, Hot Springs Village, AR 71900, at 2:00 PM, Friday the 17th of October 2025, with a reception to follow at the Brusenhan residence. Guests should enter Hot Springs Village through the East gate.
