William Fair Obituary
He was born on February 20, 1965, in Weirton, to Bernard and Alma Jackson Fair.
A graduate of Weir High School, class of 1984, Bill dedicated most of his life to being an over-the-road truck driver, finishing his working career in the city of Weirton, where he built lasting relationships with colleagues and the community.
An avid angler, Bill could often be found casting his line in every pond, creek, and river within a 50-mile radius of Weirton. He had a passion for building model semi-trucks, showcasing his creativity and attention to detail. In addition to his many hobbies, he enjoyed playing drums and guitar.
Bill cherished his family immensely, especially his three grandchildren, who brought him endless joy. He found happiness in the simple pleasures of life: spending time with loved ones, watching black-and-white Western movies like Gunsmoke, and enjoying the open road on his Harley.
In addition to his parents, Bill was preceded in death by his brother Bernard "Andy" Fair.
He is survived by his devoted wife, Julia Kelly Fair, whom he married on August 11, 1990, sons Samuel and William Fair, both of Weirton; daughter Ashley (John) Kilmartin, Jr., of Weirton; brothers Guy(Pam) Fair of Weirton and Eugene Fair of New Cumberland; and grandchildren Jack Kilmartin, and Keegan, and Sophia Fair.
