William Jacob Bischel, a cherished husband, father, son, and friend, passed away on October 1, 2025, in Port Charlotte, Florida. Born on August 11, 1975, in Fort Myers, Florida, William's legacy is as deep and rich as the swamps and rivers he loved to explore.

He is survived by his devoted wife, Nancy Bischel, and their two beloved sons, Jacob and Camden Bischel, all of LaBelle, Florida. William is also lovingly remembered by his mother, Anita Lea Bischel, and his brother, Jason Bischel. His extended family includes aunts Paula Balestra of Indian Harbor Beach, Florida, and Andrea Pflum of Cincinnati, Ohio; uncles Eric and Keith Pflum from Clewiston, Florida, and Helmuth Bischel from Brandon, Florida. He has left behind a caring mother-in-law, Billie Glenn of Lake Placid, Florida, as well as numerous cousins and friends who will miss him dearly.

William's passion for the outdoors defined his spirit. He was an avid fisherman and a dedicated hunter of fossils, spending countless hours in nature, relishing every moment. His kind, generous, ambitious, considerate, and loyal nature brought joy to those who knew him. William's career as a GIS Mapper spanned over 33 years, during which he showcased his meticulous attention to detail and deep commitment to his work.

William's life will be celebrated on Sunday, October 5, 2025, at the LaBelle Church of God, located at 590 East Hickpochee Avenue, LaBelle, Florida. The visitation will begin at 3:00 p.m., followed by a Celebration of Life at 4:00 p.m. A committal service will be held the next day, Monday, October 6, 2025, at Fort Denaud Cemetery at 10:00 a.m.

William is preceded in death by his father, Harold Bischel, and his grandparents, Helmuth "Bill" Bischel, Norma Jean Holton, William Pflum, and Charlotte Riser. He leaves behind a legacy of love and adventure that will continue in the hearts of his family and friends.

In this time of great loss, we invite all who knew William to join in remembrance of a life well-lived and a spirit that will forever shine bright.
