William Southwick Obituary
William Alan Southwick
Dec. 7, 1963 - Nov. 3, 2022
PARUMPH, NV - William Alan Southwick of Parumph, NV passed away after a two year battle with cancer with his wife Beth and son Brenton by his side.
Alan, as his family called him was born in Glens Falls Hospital, December 7, 1963 to his mother Patricia A. (Wynkoop) and William Southwick of Warrensburg, NY.
Alan worked as a paramedic for several local EMS Squads for many years along with his son Brenton, and other EMS and Paramedic friends. Alan's greatest memories while a Paramedic were his trip to Guatemala with George Secard to deliver an ambulance to the people there. Alan also spent time on 9-11 in NYC with the ambulance squad. Unfortunately his cancer was caused by that tragedy.
It was there that he met Beth Blasdell, whom he married, and they spent six years of bliss. It was always a dream for Alan to travel cross country. In 2021 that dream came to reality, when he and his wife bought a motor home and traveled cross country, settling in Parumph, NV to be near his sister Cindy who lived in Las Vegas, NV. Unfortunately Cynthia Colianni passed way in Feb, 2022.
William Alan was predeceased by his father, William Southwick, his grandparents Ralph and Pansy Smith, and Earl and Myrtle Southwick all of Warrensburg, his sister, Cynthia Colianni of Las Vegas, NV, brother-in-law, Philip Rozell of Vero Beach, FL.
Survived by his wife Beth of Parumph, NV; son, Brenton Southwick of NV; mother, Patricia A. Wynkoop (Joseph) of Queensbury; sister, Carol Rozell of Vero Beach, FL; stepson, Jerimy, son of Beth; brother-in-law, Trevlin Colianni of MT; two nephews: Jason Lamphier or Warrensburg and David Lamphier of Bellingham; one aunt, June Helgesen of Vero Beach, FL; and many friends.
Arrangements to be made at a later date.

Back in 1968 my family moved to a new place in upstate NY. Alan was a neighbor and the first friend I made there. We were 5 or 6 years old, starting 1 st grade. We had great times riding our bikes and going to Echo Lake. I loved going over to his house, his Dad sitting and watching Star Trek. We got into mischief at times, but nothing serious. Just two kids hanging out and enjoying our time. He was a true friend, always listening and helping, which was his natural character. He was there as a paramedic when my parents were ill. My Mother would tell me how Alan was so helpful. I could go on about him. He will sorely be miss. Rest In Peace my friend.
