# In Loving Memory of William Kitt Diesen

**William Kitt Diesen**, of Bradenton, Florida, passed away unexpectedly last week, leaving behind a lifetime of memories and countless people who loved him deeply.

William was a beloved son, brother, father, partner, and friend. He is survived by his loving mother, **Jeanne Diesen**; his sister, **Michelle Diesen**; and his two sons, **Jared and Conner**, who were a cherished part of his life.

He was preceded in death by his father, **Bernard Diesen**, and may they now be reunited in peace.

William shared a special life with his significant other, **Emma Letchworth**, and loved her sons, **Luke and Logan Letchworth**, whom he treated as his own. The bond they shared was deeply meaningful and will forever remain a part of their lives.

William's sudden passing has left an immeasurable void in the hearts of his family and loved ones. He will be remembered for the love he gave, the relationships he built, and the memories he leaves behind.

Though he was taken far too soon, William's memory will live on through his sons, his mother, sister, Emma and her sons, and all those fortunate enough to have known and loved him.

**Forever loved. Forever remembered. Forever missed.**

It is with a heavy heart that I say goodbye to Bill, who was such an important part of my life for so many years. We shared many years  filled with memories, laughter, challenges, and a love that never truly faded, even after our paths diverged. We remained good friends and always cared deeply for one another.
Bill taught me so much about life and about myself. 
He loved endlessly and forever. 
I loved you, Bill. I was in love with you. And a part of my heart will always belong to you. I am grateful for the years we had and for every memory I now carry forward.
Rest peacefully, my angel. You were deeply loved and will never ever be forgotten.🤍

Bill was the closest friend I ever had. He was passionate and intense…if he did something, it was going to be 1000%. At the same time, he was gentle and kind. He left us much too soon. Rest in peace, my friend.
