Burton Cadwallader Obituary

Published by Legacy on Aug. 11, 2025.
Burton W. "Bill" Cadwallader Jr, a cherished father and grandfather, was called home to be with the Lord on August 3, 2025, at the age of 73. He was born on November 23, 1951, in Brownsville, Texas, to his late parents Burton and Riley Cadwallader.
A member of the First Baptist Church in Orlando, Bill lived a life dedicated to his family and faith. He was a loving father to his eight children: Bill, Farrah, Robyn, Eryn, Loryn, Christopher, Devyn and Jonathan. He was the greatest "papa" to his many grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren, whom he adored spending time with. He is survived by his beloved sister, Corrine and had a such special relationship with the mother of his children, Sandy Cadwallader.
Bill was humorous, a very likable man, and he never failed to make people laugh. He was a true joy to be around. He loved his music, with a passion for hard and classic rock that could often be heard playing in the home. He had a special place in his heart for movies such as the Christmas Chronicles, and the Rocky series. His ideal meal was always a cheeseburger with french fries.
He is now at peace in the arms of his Savior, having been preceded in death by his brothers, Joseph and Skip.
He will be honored and remembered every single day. We all love you, Bill.
