William Earl Setchfield

William (Bill) Earl Setchfield, the son of Winston and Hazel; brother to Jim; and Dad to Todd, Cari (Roughley), and Kelli (Setchfield-Rhoads). He was Bumpa to Taylor, Dylan, Jakob, Jenifer, Lillian, and EJ; uncle to Stephen, Irene, and James. Bill extended his role of father to his beloved son-in-law Emory. He was a loving husband to Sandy until her passing from cancer in 2004, and later found love again with his wife, Beth, whose kindness, devotion, and steady companionship brought comfort and joy to his life. 
Bill was a Vietnam Vet with the 101st Airborne Screaming Eagles, an owner of multiple businesses, and the former Township Supervisor in Spencer Township. Bill had great friends, including his long time best friend Ben Weykamp. He loved his family and that love was shared with his many cousins. 
Growing up in Belding, Michigan gave him his roots and a lot of memories on Howard Street. He had a way about him that just made you want to be around him. He was funny and playful and yet wise to so many things in life. He was loyal and if he loved you, you were in a special club. Bill will be stopping by the Rainbow Bridge to pick up Karli and Mia Ferne on his way to heaven and reconnect with those who passed before him. 
Bill was a Cancer survivor and bravely dealt with PTSD and Dementia. Through it all he never forgot the love he had for his family. Bill was a man of faith. Though he faced struggles in life, he always met them with dignity, grace, and class. We are grateful to have had him in our lives and to have been loved by him.
