Herby William

Herby William, the son of Fequiere P. William and Dieuvella William, passed away on Saturday, November 15, 2025, at the age of 42. Born on Tuesday May 3, 1983, in Elizabeth, New Jersey, he was raised and spent most of his life in Linden, New Jersey. He attended St. Patrick’s Academy and St. Theresa School for his elementary and middle school education, and later graduated from St. Mary of the Assumption High School. He went on to earn his associate’s degree from Union County College. Throughout his career, Herby worked in various sales positions, where his natural charm, humor, and gift for connecting with people left a lasting impression on everyone he met.

Beyond his work, Herby’s greatest joy in life was being a father to his son, Joaquin William, who was the center of his world. They shared a special bond through their love of WWE, never missing a WrestleMania or SummerSlam event. They created unforgettable memories traveling together to places like Jamaica, Sint Maarten, and Saint Lucia. Beyond fatherhood, Herby was passionate about acting. He loved the craft deeply and worked hard towards building an acting career. He wore many hats in his acting career; one being a Conductor on “Quantico”; another being a Patron on “All My Children”, and a police officer on “Blue Bloods.” Known for his big smile, jokes, and warm presence, he was the life of the party and a true family man who always put his loved ones first.

He is survived by his beloved son, Joaquin William; his loving parents, Fequiere P. William and Dieuvella William; his brothers, Edwin William and Junior William; his sister-in-law, Barbarah William; his aunt, Phenia Michel; his cousin’s, Christopher Michel, James Zamor and Peggy DeLalue. He will be deeply missed by his family and friends, who will forever cherish his memory and the joy he brought into their lives.
