William (Bill) Gildersleeve October 15, 1964 - February 4, 2025
With deep sadness, we announce the peaceful passing of Bill Gildersleeve on February 4, 2025, at the age of 60.
Born on October 15, 1964, to the late William and Amelia Gildersleeve, Bill was a loving husband to Linda, a devoted father to Billy, Samantha, Andie, and James, and a cherished older brother to Debbie, Pam, George, and Mike.
A skilled contractor, Bill dedicated his life to his craft. He had a passion for the outdoors, enjoying fishing, camping, and the tranquility of nature. Bill also loved music and spent many joyful hours playing his guitar. Above all, he treasured time with his family and friends, always putting them first.
Bill's warm spirit, love for life, and dedication to his loved ones will be greatly missed. His memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
