William Gay "Bill" Feather Sr., 91, of Bowling Green, Missouri, passed away on March 16, 2026.
He was born on November 22, 1934, in Bowling Green, Missouri, to Elmer Gay Feather and Anna Elizabeth (Perkins) Feather.
Bill proudly served his country, entering military service on May 18, 1955, and was honorably discharged on April 18, 1958.
He was united in marriage to Lola May Perkins in 1962. Together in this union they had seven children: Bill Jr., John, Annell, Cindy, Danny, Macie, and Matt. Their family was rooted in love and strong values.
Bill was a kind and hardworking man who loved his family deeply. He created a home where everyone felt welcome, and some of the most cherished memories were made there, especially during the Fourth of July and holiday gatherings that brought everyone together year after year. He was proud of his home and took great pride in caring for it, especially in keeping the yard neatly mowed.
He had a passion for flying and earned his pilot's license, even owning a two-seater plane for a time. He also enjoyed riding his motorcycle.
More than anything, Bill was a man of love and faith. He prayed for each of his children and grandchildren every night. He was always checking in, always calling, and never hesitated to drop everything to help, whether it was bringing medicine when someone was sick or simply making sure everyone was okay. If someone did not answer, he would call around until he found them.
He showed his love in the smallest but most meaningful ways, making birthday cakes, and making sure no one felt forgotten. At Christmas, he always had sugar cookies and fruitcake ready to share, creating traditions that will live on in the hearts of his family.
He is survived by his sister, Pauline Smith.
He is also survived by his children: Bill Feather Jr. and his companion Jean, John Feather, Annell Willemarck and her husband Tom, Danny Feather, Macie Sinclair, and Matt Feather and his companion Danielle; nieces Dawn Atchley and her husband Michael and Coreena Burke and her husband Marty; nephews Jody Pruitt and Robert Pruitt and his wife Jennifer; many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and three great-great-grandchildren; along with many nieces, nephews, and friends who will miss him deeply.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Lola May; his parents, Elmer Gay Feather and Anna Elizabeth Feather; his siblings, Bobby Feather, Glen Feather, and Loreen Feather; his daughter, Cindy Rose; his son-in-law, James Sinclair; and his grandchildren, Chuckie Rose, Jeff Feather, Nick Twilla, and J.J. and Levi Horton.
