William Brown Obituary

With profound sadness, we say goodbye to William Brown of Petrolia, Ontario, whose vibrant spirit touched the lives of many. William left this world on May 29, 2025 at the age of 65, leaving a void in the lives of so many people. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.

Though William may no longer walk beside us, his memory will forever be enshrined in the fabric of the lives of those William touched, a beacon of light guiding us through the darkness. In his absence, his spirit lives on — a gentle whisper in the breeze, a ray of sunlight on a cloudy day, a reminder that love knows no boundaries.

He is survived by: his wife Debra Brown; his siblings, Murray (Betty Brown), David Brown, Dan Brown and Bonnie (Grant Gatecliff); and his in-laws, Wayne, Dona Hyatt, Mike and Kim Hyatt.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made by cheque at the funeral home in Billy's memory to Petrolia Minor Hockey, an organization close to his heart.
