William "Bill" Alfred Arpin

William “Bill” Alfred Arpin, age 74, passed away peacefully after a courageous battle with cancer. A devoted son, stepfather, brother, uncle, and friend, Bill was the kind of man who would do anything for the people he loved—and he loved unconditionally.

 

Bill grew up in Rhode Island before eventually making his way to Texas, where he built a life full of love, laughter, and lasting friendships. He was known for his warm heart, easygoing nature, and ability to make friends wherever he went. Always ready to lend a helping ear, Bill made others feel seen and supported. With his quick wit and sense of humor, he was constantly cracking jokes—right up until the very end—and had a comeback for everything. His laughter was contagious, and he had a way of putting a smile on your face even in the toughest moments.

 

One of Bill’s greatest passions in life was riding his Harley-Davidson, a love that brought him joy, freedom, and connection. The open road was his peace, and the roar of the engine was truly and wholeheartedly music to his soul.

 

Bill had a deep and enduring faith in the Lord, which carried him through life with grace, strength, and compassion. He was a true friend and a cherished member of his family.

 

He is preceded in death by his beloved mother, Mary Ann Pichette Arpin Rega; father, Ronald Arpin; stepfather, Anthony Rega; and brother, Ronald Arpin.

 

He is survived by his loving sister, Cheryl Arpin Gaudet; four nephews; one niece; three grandchildren; Barbara Guy and his two stepchildren, Courtney Suchma and Eric Guy, who will forever carry his love and memory in their hearts.

 

Bill’s legacy of humor, kindness, and loyalty will live on in all who were fortunate enough to know and love him.
