William Wynne Obituary
Mr. William Wynne, 73, of Williamston, NC passed away on October 14, 2025.
William enjoyed spending time with family and friends, working at the shop, cutting grass, and cooking. Whether it was a quick joke or a smile, he had a gift for making those around him feel welcome and at ease. His laughter was infectious, and his presence brought light and warmth to every room he entered.
He is lovingly remembered by his daughter, Kelly Sprouse and husband, Mason; his grandchildren, Brayden, Marissa, Kenzie, and Raelyn; and his close family friends, Travis, Stephanie, and Tyler, who were like family to him. He was preceded in death by his parents, John Hyman and Essie Mae Wynne.
William's legacy is one of kindness, humor, and deep love for those closest to him. He will be profoundly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
The family will greet friends from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Friday, October 17, 2025 at the Walking In Faith Together Ministry, 600 Park Street, Williamston, NC 27892. A private graveside service will be held at Martin Memorial Gardens at a later date.
