William Thomas Bird Jr., age 71, of Lake Havasu City passed away to be with the Lord on September 25, 2014. Bill played college football at the University of Nevada and spent many years as a cement truck driver for Granite Rock.

He attended New Hope Calvary and gave generously to charities having had a passion for S.O.S. ministries and Gospel for Asia.
