1947 - 2025

William Darryl "Bill" Free passed away peacefully on September 28, 2025, in Eden, North Carolina at the age of 78.

Throughout his life, Bill remained rooted in the values and traditions of the South. His journey began in Ware Shoals,SC where he was born and raised by his mother Annie Irene Morgan who preceded him in death. He proudly served in the Navy during the Vietnam War and after went on to build a life and family marked by strength and an enduring presence.

Bill's passing marks the close of a chapter for all who knew him. "His life was a blessing, his memory a treasure, loved beyond words and will be missed beyond measure." Though details of his personal and professional life are not included here, his memory lives on in the hearts of those whose lives he touched and knew him best. A great Son, Brother, Husband, Father and friend to many.

He is survived by his wife Marcia Louise Free, his Sister Wanda Ruth Grant, his children James Owen Free, Rhiannon Elizabeth Free, Sunday Rene Free, Kelly Ann Hayes(Steven Wesley Hayes), William David Free, and his grand son he raised as his own William Daniel Free. His grandchildren Joshua Forrest Hayes(Priscila Soares Hayes), Donald Preston Mitchell Ingram, Stephen David Free(Donna Jean Foreman Free), Howard Thomas Hill, Jacob Alexander Hayes, Dylan Connor Free, Caitlin Elizabeth Free, and Five Great Grand children along with a huge extended family.

As an invaluable contribution to the future of medicine, Bill proudly donated his body to UNC School of Medicine. This selfless donation will touch lives, restore hope, or further medical knowledge.

No Memorial service will be held at this time
