Bill was born on August 24, 1967, in Jacksonville Beach, Florida, to Warren and George Ann Hoffman, where Warren was stationed onboard the USS Saratoga at Mayport, Fl. Bill grew up in Stone Mountain and graduated from Stone Mountain High School in 1985, where he lettered in tennis and swimming. He attended Valdosta State University and Wiregrass Georgia Technical College and was a member of Theta Xi Fraternity.
Bill medically retired from Bellsouth/AT&T, where he was treasurer of the local Communications Workers of America chapter. He enjoyed a life-long love of fishing, driving XJ jeeps, and collecting and working on other old cars.
Survived by parents, Warren and George Ann Hoffman, brother Tim Hoffman, sister Katherine Ann Jones, nephews Jaxon, Crosby (Spouse Mattie) and Cooper Jones, and long-term girlfriend Dawn Benedikt (Mother Sue).

Bill was truly the most selfless person I have ever known. He was the best friend anyone could ask for - always there to lend a hand or an ear, no matter what. We loved to pal around together: fishing, camping, working, tinkering on old cars, or just talking to anyone who would listen.
Bill had a gift for being present for others. He was always available when you needed him, yet he never complained about his own struggles or asked for anything in return. His kindness, generosity, and easygoing spirit made every moment with him a joy.
He will be truly missed, and there is no replacing a friend like Bill. The world is a better place for having had him in it, and my life is forever richer because of his friendship.
Rest easy, my dear friend.
