Bill McFadden Obituary

Bill McFadden III April 19, 1988-July 13, 2009 Bill was born in San Francisco and graduated from Terra Nova High School. He studied at Wyotech University for motorcycle repair because of his love for motorcycles. He went on to become an apprentice mechanic for Caltrans when he passed away. Like a pebble makes a ripple that affects an entire lake, Bill made the same effect on all who loved him. He was a beloved son to his mother Rosa and his father Bill Jr. and was deeply loved by Miguel and Syl, his step-parents. He loved his sisters Ebony and Ashley and was very close to Andrew, his step-brother. Bill also leaves behind a nephew, nieces and numerous aunts and uncles and cousins from all sides of his extended family. "Bill, you are free to ride your motorcycle in the heavens as fast as you like". May peace be in your soul and rest now in peaceful dreams. We will miss you forever. Family and friends may visit Saturday, July 18 at 4pm and are invited to attend the Memorial Service at 6pm at DUGGAN'S SERRA MORTUARY, 500 Westlake Avenue, Daly City. Please visit www.duggansserra.com if you would like to sign the online guest book.

Bill & Sylvia,
You were there and supported my family when I lost my brother 17 years ago. All I can offer is the same love, support and prayers that were given to us.
Though time will make each day easier to live, know that it's OK to hurt when you feel hurt...It's OK to be angry, sad and every other emotion that you feel no matter when you feel it. And you will feel happiness and love, though it might not feel like it now, especially when you remember the wonderful times and they make you smile.
Know that no matter what Billy was feeling at that moment when he left this Earth, he is now at peace and is watching down over all of you that he loved.
Rebekah Bauer (Ken Bauer's oldest daughter)

Billy- I can't even imagine the Pain you all are going through right now! Especially you, I know the closeness you had,a Great Dad, something my son didn't have! It must be heart wrenching, and to say he is in heaven now, probably dosent mean anything. But he is with God now, and when your grieving there will come a point god will let you know, and he will take some of your pain away. Hopefully sooner than Lator! My HEART goes out to you all, and if there anything I can do just call.(707)235-6760 same cell # All our Love Lyn and Larry and Family

Billy, I remember a very inquisitive little boy with such curiosity and eagerness to learn. I so enjoyed watching you and your Dad horsing around or just hanging out, the smiles were endless. You both displayed, without even trying, the wonderful relationship and love you both shared. And Sylvia couldn’t have loved you more, she spoke very highly of you always. You were missed yesterday, you are missed today, and will be missed all the tomorrows that follow, but your smile will live in the hearts of those you touched.

Billy, I just want to say how very proud I am to be your step-mom. My heart is shattered, as is your fathers. We always had such high hopes for you because you always showed so much promise. We just knew that you would go on to do great things with your life. From the moment I first laid eyes on you, you were a joy! I will be forever grateful to have been a part of your too short life. I could not have loved you more if I had given birth to you myself. You were always my boy too!!! We will never know what your final minutes on earth were like or what your last thoughts were, but I pray that you are at peace now. Maybe in time this pain will subside, but we will never be the same without you here with us. You will live in my heart forever. I love you Billy! - Syl
