William Wolver Obituary

Visit the Simplify Cremations & Funerals - Des Moines website to view the full obituary.
William Tyler Wolver, age 46, of Des Moines, Iowa, passed away on October 7th, 2025. Born on January 15, 1979, William was a man of unwavering faith, fierce love, and unforgettable humor. He was a devoted father to Trinity, Wyatt, Samantha, and Logan, and a beloved son to William and Sharon Wolver. He is also survived by his siblings Troy Wolver, Wendy Thacker, and Darcy Villalobos (Jason), as well as many nieces and nephews who lovingly called him "Uncle B." William's love for his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ was at the center of his life, and he never hesitated to share that love with others. To know him was to truly love him- his loyalty ran deep, his laughter was contagious, and his friendships were more like brotherhoods. William's legacy of faith, joy, and love will live on in the hearts of all who were blessed to know him.
