William Tillman, Jr.

William Leroy Tillman, Jr., age 64 of Gulfport, passed away on Tuesday, September 21, 2021.

He was preceded in death by his father, William Leroy Tillman, Sr.; and his mother, Sara Page.

William is survived by his siblings, Paula Elaine “Lainey” Lee, Mike Yaley, Ted Yaley, Cal Yaley, and David Page; and his Aunt Annie.

From early teen years, he was estranged from his parents and siblings, so his Aunt Annie and Uncle Chris raised him from that time.  He was truly loved by his numerous cousins.

William was employed by Ms. Mertie Scarborough as her caretaker.  He loved gardening and looking after farm animals.

In lieu of flowers, please donate in memory and honor of William to B.E.A.M.S. Ministry, PO Box 10200, Gulfport, MS 39505 or www.BeamsBibles.com
