William “Bill” J. Croft, 54, of Pulaski, TN, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his family on December 30, 2023, after an unsuccessful battle with cancer. He was born on February 20, 1969, in Montour Falls, NY to the late Gail and Walter Croft.
Bill was a proud veteran of the United States Marine Corps. He was a loving husband to his wife Mary, and a devoted father to their children. Bill was a proud grandfather to his three grandsons and was so excited for his first granddaughter expected in April.
Bill was an avid dog lover and enjoyed doting over all his fur babies. Bill will be greatly missed but lovingly remembered for his kind heart, sense of humor, and unwavering love for his family.
Bill is survived by his wife, Mary Croft; his son Trevor Lane, daughter-in-law Anna Lane and daughter McKenzie Fenton; his grandchildren Brody Fenton, Huxley Fenton, Micah Lane, and (expecting granddaughter); his brother, Walter Croft; his sister, Marlene Croft, Ralph Stoothoff and several nieces and nephews. A celebration of his life will be held at a later date for family and close friends, donations made to the Wounded Warrior Project would be greatly appreciated.
