William "Bill" Rockwell

William "Bill" Rockwell, 58, of Marysville, KS passed away at Stormont Vail Hospital, Topeka, KS on February, 21st, 2023.

Bill was born December 21, 1964, in Independence, KS. After graduating from Marysville High School in 1983, Bill attended Independence Community College and graduated with a Beauty & Barber certification in 1985. After having worked in the cosmetology field for a couple years, Bill joined the Army in 1985-1990. His duty stations included Ft. Dix, Ft. Bliss, Ft. Lewis and Korea. While serving our country, he met and married Pamela Diane Garcia, who was also serving in the Army. They married June 25, 1987, and remained happily married until her death April 22, 1992, from breast cancer. Bill was a jack of all trades, to include working in the areas of cosmetology, cooking and as a floral designer.

His hobbies included reading, gardening, baking and was a very talented artist and painter. To all who knew Bill, it will be his great sense of humor, his kind soul, corny jokes and numerous memes that we will all miss. Bill made friends wherever he went and always made everyone feel included, but above all else, his true love was for his family.

Bill is preceded in death by his Step-Father, Larry Armstrong and his wife Pamela. Survivors include his Mother, Dee Armstrong, Marysville, KS, Eldest Brother, Lewis Rockwell (Sharon) of Corpus Christi and Younger Brother, Mark Rockwell (Gerri) of Winifred, KS, followed by his nieces and nephews, Leanna Rockwell, Houston, TX, Jonathan Rockwell, Corpus Christi, TX, Emily Rockwell, Marysville, KS, Brandon Rockwell (Autumn) Dallas, TX, Jake Rockwell (Kayla) Virginia Beach, VA, and the great nephews and niece, Jude, Olivia and Connor Rockwell.

In respecting Bill's wishes, there will be a private graveside burial and private celebration of his life for immediate family and select friends at a later date.
