William H. Ezell

William Henry "Bill" Ezell, 84, of Louisville, KY, passed away on March 15, 2022. Bill was born on April 1, 1937, to Joseph and Bobbie Ezell, Sr. He graduated from Central High School in 1955 and served in the U.S. Air Force. Bill was a member of the FOP and a faithful member of Mt. Olive Missionary Baptist Church. He worked at Henry Vogt and retired after 20 years; he never missed a day nor was he ever late. Bill was a mild mannered and easy going man. His last conversation was "you die young or you grow old." When you mentioned a birthday to him he would reply, "you have one birthday, one death and anything in between is an anniversary." Bill was loyal to all he met.

He was preceded in death by his parents; brothers, Robert F. Ezell, Joseph T. Ezell and Joe Kittrell; sisters, Dorothy Ezell Booker, Addie A. Ezell and Emma Kittrell Withers; nephews, Tony Ezell, Don Ezell and Michael Ezell and nieces, Shirese Moore and Cheyenn Ezell.
