Faithful husband, loving father, and adoring grandfather, William “Bill” Shibley, 60, of Greenwood, Arkansas joined his Lord and Savior on January 31, 2022. Bill was born in Fort Smith, Arkansas on January 2, 1962.
Bill gave his all to everything he did, including the service to his community. Bill served with the Sebastian County Sheriff’s Department for more than 22 years and was a member of the Jenny Lind Masonic Lodge #503 F&AM. Bill never met a stranger and always had a story to tell. He was larger than life and had the best of laughs.
Bill was the most loyal of friend, but above all, Bill adored his family. He met his wife, Kim as children and together they built a wonderful life. In recent years, you would rarely find Bill without a grandchild or his best buddy, Winston in tow.
