William "Bill" Fadell, born on October 3, 1963, in Detroit, Michigan, passed away peacefully on June 6, 2025, also in Detroit, surrounded by his loving family. Bill lived a life marked by deep faith, passion, and a zest for adventure, leaving a profound impact on those who knew him.

A devoted husband and father, Bill is survived by his beloved wife, Janet, and their three children: daughters Sarah and Brittney Fadell, and son Jose Miranda. He took great joy in his role as a grandfather to Jordan Araj, cherishing the moments they spent together.

Bill was born to Mary & Kenneth Charles Fadell, Sr, who preceded him in death. He is remembered fondly by his siblings: Adam (Sue) Bannester, Tom (Darlene) Fadell, Marianne Blankenship, Kenneth Charles (Belinda) Fadell, Jr., Jackie (Ron) Jackson, Shawn (Krissy) Fadell, Kathy Putman, and Rick Fadell. He also leaves behind brothers-in-law Roy (Audrey) Collett, John Collett, Jim Young and sister-in-law Tina Collett, who will carry his memory forward. Preceded in death by his sister Robin Young.

In addition to his family, Bill was known for his unwavering love for Jesus, which provided him strength and purpose. He found joy in riding his Harley Davidson motorcycle, often taking to the open road to experience the freedom it brought him. His adventurous spirit and kind heart endeared him to many, and he will be remembered not just for his passions but for the warmth and love he shared with everyone around him.
