In Loving Memory of William Arthur Freelain III

August 9th, 1951- May 15th, 2023

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved father, a dear friend, a caring brother, and an exceptional videographer. He left an indelible mark on our lives, and his absence will be deeply felt by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Affectionately known as Bill, he brought joy and laughter into the world from the moment he arrived. His vibrant spirit and warm personality were infectious, drawing people to him like a magnet. He possessed a unique ability to make everyone feel valued and appreciated, leaving an everlasting impression wherever he went. He graduated from Sumner High School and continued to pursue his education at various institutions.

He was also a decorated member of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. He believed in the power of friendship and always went the extra mile to bring a smile to the faces of those around him. His ability to find beauty in the ordinary was a true gift.

We will forever cherish the moments we spent together and carry his spirit in our hearts.

Bill is survived by the love of his life Dori his children, Jamila, Tamika (Ernest), Courtney (Brandon), Jared (Imani) & Erin (Kaalan) his dear siblings, Wilma, Sandy, & Charles, and a host of grandchildren, family members and friends who will continue to honor his memory.
