William Brazell Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Thompson Funeral Homes - Lexington on Feb. 17, 2026.
William H. Brazell, affectionately known to family and friends as "Bill," passed away on February 14, 2026, at the age of 70. He was a resident of Lexington, South Carolina.

Bill was a man full of love and kindness whose quiet strength touched everyone who knew him. Though he endured much pain throughout his life, he rarely showed it, choosing instead to greet others with warmth, humor, and a caring heart. His faith was important to him, and he loved the Lord deeply.

He found joy in the simple things - listening to music, collecting and enjoying his Hot Wheels, and sharing laughter with those around him. Bill was well known for his favorite saying, "Get Down and Do The Boogie," often delivered with a snap of his fingers and a smile that could brighten any room. Above all else, he loved his family, holding a special bond with his sister Debra, whom he cherished dearly.

Bill is survived by his beloved siblings: Wayne and Doris of Camden, South Carolina; Yancey and Margie of South Congaree, South Carolina; Ray and Herbie of West Columbia, South Carolina; Debra and Rubin of Lexington, South Carolina; and Don and Debbie of Columbia, South Carolina. He also leaves behind several nieces and nephews, as well as his favorite great-niece, Laken Smith, and favorite great-nephew, Mason Smith, who brought him great pride and happiness.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Raymond T. Brazell and Mildred Lee Brazell, and his brother, Rubin Brazell.

Bill will be remembered for his gentle spirit, unwavering love for his family, and the joy he brought to others through his humor and faith. His memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
