William "Bill" Tyson
Nov. 21, 1944 - Oct. 3, 2015
William "Bill" Tyson died peacefully at home on Saturday, Oct. 3, 2015, surrounded by family, from complications of Parkinson's disease. Bill was born Nov. 21, 1944, in Pasadena, Calif. His family moved to Los Alamos, when he was six years old. He grew up in Los Alamos and graduated from Los Alamos High School in 1962. After a short stint at college life in Las Cruces, he decided to get his pilot's license and head off to the U.S. Air Force where he served from 1965 to 1969. He married Nancy Knobeloch on June 13, 1970. Bill graduated from UNM in 1972, with a Business Management degree and then embarked on a career that took the family from Albuquerque, where he had worked for PNM, to Louisville, Ky., where he worked for Kaiser Aluminum and Sangamo. From there they moved to Dallas, Texas, where Bill worked for GE. A job at Farmington Lumber and hardware brought the family back to New Mexico, in 1985. He later worked for Farmington Chamber of Commerce,
Farmington Family practice, and Urgent Care until his medical retirement in 2006. Bill strongly believed in civic responsibility and was directly involved in numerous civic, religious and leadership boards and activities. His greatest joy was his wife, Nancy and four sons, Brian, Kyle, Dennis and Zac; daughters-in-law, Beth and Michelle; and his nine grandkids.
Bill was loving, genuine, honest and gave world famous hugs. He was gifted at making you feel like you were the most important person in the world. He will be greatly missed.
Special thanks is given to the staff at Beehive Assisted Living, Basin Home Health and
Hospice, Dr. Sean Faherty and staff and Will Ed Paul who visited Bill every day while he was at the Beehive.
A memorial service will be at 4 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 8, at First United Methodist Church, 808 N. Monterey Ave. in Farmington, with the Rev. Brian Adams officiating.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research.
Bill's care is entrusted to Alternative Choice Burial and Cremation, 804 N. Dustin Ave. in Farmington, 505-325-9611. Those who wish to express their condolences may do so at www.serenityandcompany.com http://www.serenityandcompany.com.
