On Wednesday, January 15th, our world was rocked by the sudden passing of William (Bill) Rackett. A beloved life partner, father, son, brother, uncle, and friend to so many, Bill's love for life was only eclipsed by the love he had for his family.

Just 3 months ago, Bill and Rachael were blessed with their second baby boy. Bill was an amazing father; Rachael and the boys meant the world to him. Bill, Rachael, Jaxson, and baby Caden had the whole world ahead of them, and now his wife is left without a husband, and his sons are left without a father.

Bill was a dedicated fisherman. He was so excited to teach his boys how to bait a hook, cast a pole, and show them the beauty of "the catch." Bill's unwavering passion, dedication, and commitment to his family will be missed. He was the rare example of a near-perfect father.

From a young age, he loved adventure. At a young age, he joined the Army, was on a bowling league, enjoyed darts with friends, and just last week he booked their yearly camping trip. A trip they have been going on for years with close friends. He was so excited.

While we can never replace the hole left by Bill's passing, we can help to ease the financial burden placed on his family. Bill dedicated his life to taking care of others, and now it's our turn to return the favor and take care of his

family.

Rachael needs to get Bill back home and plan his funeral.
