William Maxwell Obituary
He is preceded in death by his parents and sister Cynthia Maxwell Henry. He leaves behind to treasure his memory daughter Samantha Dyan Woods and son-in-law Marcus Woods of Austin, Texas and sons Joshua Adams Maxwell of Arlington, Virginia and Bryan Haze Cook of Pasadena, Texas; grandchildren William and Piper Cook; and brother David Maxwell and sister-in-law Dixie Maxwell of London, TX as well as two nieces and a nephew.
Bill started his career in the petrochemical industry and later became the proprietor of several businesses, including Gambino's Pizza in League City, TX and Bill's Bait Shop in San Leon, TX. He was a longtime resident of San Leon and was active in his community, where he was considered a beloved friend to many. Bill was an avid fisherman and hunter who was known for his prolific storytelling, good humor and smile, and most of all his love for his family and the Houston Astros.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, March 1, at 11 a.m. at Living Word Church of the Bay Area, 1111 Kirby Rd, Taylor Lake Village, TX. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Sisters Helping Sisters at shstexas.org. And if you really want to honor his memory, raise a glass (or a can) and share a laugh with someone you love.
