William Foreman III, a devoted father, brother, husband, and proud veteran, passed away on November 5, 2025, at the age of 63. Born on August 11, 1962, in Brooklyn, New York, William lived a life marked by service, strength, and deep love for his family and community.
A graduate of Abraham Lincoln High School in Brooklyn, New York. William answered the call to serve his country by enlisting in the United States Army in his late teens. He served honorably for approximately 12 years, embodying the values of discipline, courage, and commitment. Following his military service, William continued his dedication to public service as a New York City Correctional Officer and later as a Police Officer for the City of New York Hospitals.

He is preceded in death by his father, William Foreman Jr.; his mother, Vivian Ann (Wilkins) Foreman; his stepmother, Lorraine Green Foreman; and his brother, Keith Wade Foreman.
William leaves behind a legacy of love and resilience. He is survived by his sister, Andrea Patrice Foreman of Katy, Texas; his children, Tanisha Morton, Shadrea Latrice Foreman, Kyeh Foreman, Monique Pinto, and NaKiesha Dias; and a host of cherished family members including brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends who will miss him dearly.
