William Fortenberry Obituary
He survived by his daughter Myranda Lunsford of Texarcana, TX; his siblings Cristie Vanhandel and her spouse Todol Vanhandel of Magnolia, TX, and Adria Fortenberry of Rosenburg, TX.
Bill is preceded in death by his mother Cynthia Whitehead Mettlach, his grandparent Marvin and Rita Whitehead, his nephew Jeremey Walker, his nieces Brittany Walker and Michelle Walker, his grandmother Dalores Radford and his grandfather Howard Fortenberry.
Bill was a loving brother, son, and uncle. He worked hard and loved hard. He was eager to get to the Golden Gates to return to his mother. We will love and miss him desperately. Until we see you again.
