William Lush Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Jowett Family Funeral Home - Benzonia on Jan. 3, 2025.
William John Lush of Beulah passed away December 31, 2024, at the age of 68. His nickname was Fire Marshall Bill or Wild Bill. He loved his music as loud as it could go and working on motorcycles with his dad, but don't let that fool you he also loved his cats, and gardening. He got a kick out of watching the bears from his bedroom window which he may or may not have been feeding. He was a builder by trade, but also loved hunting, fishing and target practice. Most of all was his love for his grandchildren, they were his everything.
He was preceded in death by parents William and Barbara (Watson) Lush, brother Mark, sisters Gail (Steve), and Carol (Jim), and father in law Ben Demerly.
William is survived by wife Theresa; children Jenna (Kyle) Toms, Travis (Briona) Drake, grandchildren Travon, Braylon, Kyliegh, Kolten, Zaiden, Hazel, Penelope; sisters Nancy (Paul) Gravel, Donna (Dave) Kelm, Pam (Doug) Chartier; mother in law Frances Demerly, sister in law Shelly (Jean) Maidens; many nieces, nephews and best friends Mike and Tabitha Dolan.
A Celebration of Life will be at a later date. Contributions can be made to a recovery center of your choice. Arrangements by Jowett Family Funeral Home of Benzonia.
