William Phillip Monk, age 60, passed away on his journey home, carrying with him a heart full of love, memories, and music. Born on June 15, 1964 in Scotlandwell, Kinross-shire, Scotland.
William was a man of great intellect, eccentric charm, deep family devotion, and quiet faith.
He was preceded in death by his father, Gene Monk, and his beloved mother, Isabel Geddes. He was also preceded by his paternal grandparents, Floyd and Dorothy Monk; his maternal grandparents, William and Rosa Geddes; his half-brother, Quinton Monk; and his stepbrother, Scottie Willis.
William's life was one of depth and determination. He was strong-willed, bold, brilliant, and proud-graduating college with a perfect 4.0 GPA. He loved music passionately, especially the timeless sounds of Electric Light Orchestra, the Bee Gees, The Carpenters, and ABBA. His favorite song, "Dancing Queen", brought him joy and symbolized his free spirit.
He also loved the Lord and found strength and support through his church and the friendships he built there. His faith sustained him, especially through the hardships of illness, and was a source of peace in his final days.
William is survived by a loving family who cherished him deeply: - His brother, Michael Monk, wife Paula, and their children Michael, Emily, and Ryan. - His sister, Melinda Monk Young, husband James, and their children Taylor McCaulley, Sydney and Jordan (spouse) Williams, Hailey and Kaitlyn Young - His sister, Melissa Monk, and her children Jared Johnson, Lauren and Logan (spouse) Blood and Isabella Sikes. - His half-brother, Mason Monk, wife Chasity, and their children Alyssa and Landyn Monk. -His step brother Rustin Monk and his children Lorelai and Cordelia.
William was a loving brother, uncle, and friend. His humor, intelligence, loyalty, and love will be remembered by all who were blessed to know him. Though he may no longer be with us in body, his memory will live on in our hearts, in the music he adored, and in the stories we share.
A Memorial service and celebration of life will be held to honor his memory on April 19th at 1pm at LaCamp Church of God. He will be deeply missed and forever loved.
