With heavy hearts, we share the passing of Bill Donahue on August 26, 2025, after a long and courageous battle with illness over many years.
Bill was born on January 23, 1961, in Binghamton, New York. Proud of his Irish heritage, he carried that spirit of warmth, humor, and resilience throughout his life. He loved time spent with family and friends, whether traveling, riding his Harley, on the golf course, taking care of his yard or gathering to share laughter and stories. Bill's genuine kindness and sociable nature left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him.
He is survived by his loving wife, Gina; daughter, Kristin; stepdaughter, Amber; and grandson, Joaquin, who was the joy of his life. He is also survived by his siblings: John (Ellie), Aileen (Charles), Brian, Conan, Maureen (Mel) and Terry (Carol). Bill leaves behind a cherished extended family of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, great nueces and nephews, many cousins, as well as countless dear friends. He is preceeded by his mother Jeanne, brothers Joey and Timmy and sister Peggy. Bill's life was full of connection and celebration. His memory will live on in the hearts of all who loved him.
