William was born on July 6, 1967 in Port Arthur, Texas. Employed by Bacon Coast2Coast, he took pride in his brother’s business and enjoyed working side by side every day with family. William was a Bridge City volunteer fireman for many years and loved everything about it, when he spoke about being a firefighter it was with pride. William was also a longtime member of APA Pool League. He loved to spend his free time shooting pool, and was good at it. If you knew him at all you knew he was very competitive (Definitely a “Bacon” trait).
William is survived by his mother Vera Bacon; wife of 25 years, Patricia Tillman Welch; children, Margaret LaCroix of Tennessee, Lee Martin and wife Lacy of Bridge City, and Trisha (Tova) Welch of Bridge City; brothers, Hilton Bacon and wife Lana of Bridge City, Wayne Bacon and his wife Tracey of Pennsylvania, Jaycee Bacon, Jared Bacon, John Bacon, Charles Moore and wife Brandy of Alabama, and Paul Moore and wife Misty of Florida; sisters, Dana Cormier and husband Bryan of Louisiana, Dianna Gilley of Bridge City, Jennifer Bacon of Houston, and Kayla Bacon of Houston. Four grandchildren, five great grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.
Pallbearers honoring William will be Byron Bacon, Joshua Taylor, Nathan Fowler, Rodney Mosier, Aaron McNeil and Hannah Best. Honorary pallbearers are Bailee Bacon, Jaycee Bacon, Jared Bacon and John Bacon.
In lieu of flowers, the family is asking donations to be made to Bridge City Fire Department.
