William G. Prewitt, 53, known to his family and friends as Bill, passed away at home in Plantation, FL, on Saturday, August 12, 2023, after battling a lingering illness. He is survived by his loving wife, Joanne, fur baby, Jasmine, and mother Sue.

Bill was born in Hollywood, FL, on May 6, 1970. He was a resident of the Plantation area for most of his life before and after joining the US Army. During his time in the military, he served in Bosnia, Korea, and Kuwait, becoming a recipient of multiple medals and achievement awards resulting in an honorable discharge from service.

Bill was an honor graduate of Nova Southeastern University earning a Bachelor’s in Law Degree in Paralegal Studies.

Among the earliest of his many ambitions was to fly aircraft, preferably training as a helicopter pilot. While he never got the opportunity to achieve that dream, one of his happiest moments was co-piloting a Cessna airplane. His numerous pleasures in life included his love of the arts and entertainment industries, particularly literature, music, movies, and technology sciences.

Bill’s passion for motorcycle riding led him to become extremely active in the motorcycle rights organization ABATE as a Lifetime Member. He served the organization through various offices that he held, beginning his tenure as both the State Representative and Vice-President of the local Southeast Florida Chapter. Subsequently, he was elected President of the local chapter serving in that capacity until moving up to the State Board level as Public Relations/Communications Officer and Co-Webmaster. He was a Life Member of the American Legion as well as a Life Member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars.

Bill has many friends statewide in Florida, especially in the South Florida area, where he will be sorely missed.

Final arrangements are being handled by Kraeer Funeral Home and Cremation Center in Coral Springs, FL. Bill will be interred at South Florida National Cemetery located in Lake Worth, FL.

In lieu of flowers, the family will greatly appreciate donations to The Wounded Warrior Project in Bill’s name.
