William, lovingly known as “Sweet”, was a true family man who took great pride in the people he loved. He was a hardworking man who spent many years working as a log truck driver before retiring. He was known for his strong work ethic, kind heart, and the love he had for his family. His presence, stories, and love will be deeply missed by all who knew him. William was the youngest of six children.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Susan and Ernest “Bocat” Sepulvado; his two brothers, Joseph Harvey Sepulvado and Marvin Sepulvado; and his special friend, Ethel Paddie.

He also leaves behind many other family members, friends, and loved ones who will forever cherish his memory.

“Sweet” was a man who valued family, hard work, and the simple things in life. Though his time here has come to an end, the love he gave and the memories he made will live on in the hearts of those who knew him. Rest easy, Sweet. Your work here is done. You will be dearly missed, forever loved, and never forgotten.
