William Gaskell Obituary
William Henry Gaskell
1/16/1950 - 3/21/2025
Bill passed doing what he loved, in a place he loved to be, while hiking the trails in Ravine Regional Park.
A Celebration of Life Gathering will be held from 2-4 PM on Saturday, April 12, 2025 at Kok Funeral Home, 7676 80th Street S.; Cottage Grove, MN.
Bill lived and breathed MUSIC of all genres. It touched his very soul. He enjoyed the competition of playing Trivia and was ecstatic when he won. He loved being outdoors whether hiking, biking or long road trips. Bill held family and friends close to his heart and would do ANYTHING for those he loved.
He was a loving partner of Terry Quist for nearly 27 years. He will be sorely missed by Terry and her family.
Bill was born to parents John and Roween Gaskell, the third of their six children and eldest son. Beloved by them along with his siblings Cindy, Kathy, Denise, Steve, and Pat.
Bill has a son, Andy and daughter, Adrianne as well as grandchildren.
Live Life!!
