William Van Cleave Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Oct. 25, 2023.
William G. Van Cleave, born on December 29, 1953, peacefully left us on October 20, 2023, to join his beloved wife Cindy in heaven. He is survived by his son, Justin along with wife Holly, and daughter, Lindsay along with husband Billy, and loving sister Nina, whom all hold a special place in his heart. His love for his grandchildren, Liam, Cece, and Maverick, knew no bounds, and his legacy will continue to thrive through them.

He was a loving husband, father, brother, and friend. His kind heart and wisdom brought joy to the lives of all who knew him. He had a passion for photography, the beach, and cycling, which he shared with everyone he met. These passions brought light to his life and the lives of those around him.

A celebration of William's life will be announced at a later date, allowing family and friends to come together to honor his memory in the way he would have cherished. We are thankful for the time we had with William, and his memory will forever live on in our hearts. He will be deeply missed and always remembered with love and fondness.
