William "Willy" Shearer, age 76, passed away on February 6, 2024, at his home surrounded in love by his wife and fur-babies under the wonderful care of Bluegrass Care Navigators Hospice.
Willy is survived by his wife, Kathy of 26 years; his 2 nephews, Josh Biancardi and Zach Kamradt who were like sons to him; and numerous friends and family.
Ask anybody about Willy and what comes to mind is Ohio State and Golf. He had a big personality with the ability to tell one heck of a story. Known to many as the old fart, with his ornery and cantankerous personality. He loved people and had a heart of gold, and he would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. He will be missed.
A memorial service will be held from 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM, Monday, February 12, 2024, at Care Cremation and Funeral Service Chapel, 1304 Bryan Avenue Lexington, Kentucky.
Care Cremation and Funeral Service is honored to be entrusted with final care.
