William Kreeger DeMink, 28, born November 29, 1992, passed away unexpectedly at his home on Thursday evening, September 16, 2021.
He was a beloved son to Peter and Nancy DeMink and brother to Kaylee DeMink and Casey DeMink. He was adored by his grandparents Bill and Ruth Woolpert. He was loved very much by his Unlce Mike and Aunt Marty, cousins Cory and Holly Hooper in California, and numerous relatives and friends.
God gave Billy to us 28 years and 289 days and then took him home. Billy was a lover of dinosaurs, swinging, trampoline jumping, swimming, bowling, long mile hikes, singing, all Disney movies (which he knew them all from memory), rides in the car, ice cream, puzzles and his Grandpa.
Billy was a loomer of fine rugs and used this platform to give back to others. No words can describe how much he will be missed, but on September 16, 2021, Billy said his first words to Jesus and his Grandma.
To his Glory we are grateful for all the days we were given to be a part of his life, to teach, learn, advocate and guide his journey.
