William John Fedorchak Jr.

William (“Bill”) J. Fedorchak, Jr. was born in December 1941 in Granite City, IL, to William J. Fedorchak, Sr., and Stella Fedorchak. He died on December 26, 2025. He was an Air Force veteran who served at Misawa Air Force Base. Bill worked for Owens-Illinois Glass for 35 years before retiring.

He is survived by his wife of 64 years, Paulette; his son, William; and his daughter, Debra; two grandchildren, Alexandria Jackson (Tyler) and Joshua; and three great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his sister, Gloria Broadway; his brother, Ronald Fedorchak (Elaine); his brother-in-law, Garry Taylor (LaVern); and his sister-in-law, Terri Barton. Bill also had numerous cousins, nieces, and nephews.

He was predeceased by his parents, William J. Fedorchak, Sr., and Stella Fedorchak; a sister, Patsy Shackelford; and a brother-in-law, Lloyd Leon Taylor.

Bill loved spending time with his family. He loved all things sports and was a great storyteller of unbelievable—but true—stories that always made us laugh. He was a member of St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church in Rogers, AR.

He will be dearly missed by his family, friends, and all who knew him. There will be a “Celebration of Life” for Bill sometime in January, on a date to be determined.
