William Prebble "Will" Coomes

2005 - 2026

William "Will" Prebble Coomes, 20, of Bardstown, passed away on Jan. 30, 2026. He was born on Aug. 13, 2005, in Louisville, to John and Kelly Foster Coomes.
Will discovered basketball at a young age and excelled at it. He had a great love for the game and the bonds of brotherhood that it brought. His mother also got to exercise her love of basketball. She only missed one game in his 14-year career. Hunting with his dad and brother was also a great love of his. They lived for those weekends. Will's love for Camryn was unmatched. There was no doubt that she was his person. The perfect match. Will's love for people, especially kids, also came at an early age. He deeply loved everyone around him and cared for others so well. Will could make anyone laugh, you can bet he didn't stop until he did. His smile, his laugh, his hug, and his genuine personality touched so many lives in his short time here. We were better because of him. If you knew him, you loved him...and you can bet, he loved you too.
Will graduated from Nelson County High School, the Class of 2024, and went right to work. He was employed at DWE Electrical, alongside his brother.
He was preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, William Ernest "Ernie" Coomes; and maternal grandfather, William Roy "Bill" Foster.
He is survived by his ever devoted parents, John and Kelly Coomes; his brother, Andrew Coomes; and the love of his life, Camryn Hayes, all of Bardstown. Will also leaves behind his paternal grandmother, Mary Patricia "Patsy" Coomes Cecil (John); maternal grandmother, Hudie Ann Foster; an uncle, Ernie Coomes Jr. (Dina); Two aunts, Suzanne Edelen (Ted Shields) and Billie Jean Denny (David Jr.); a multitude of cousins; and his faithful tribe, "The Boys."
The family has chosen cremation with no services at this time.
A memorial will be held at a later date.
