Wilbert Eugene Gillham Jr., 64, of Buckley, WA, passed away on April 17, 2022 after a19-month battle with leukemia.

Bill was born on August 7, 1957 to Noreen Gillham and Wilbert Eugene Gillham Sr., in Kansas City, Missouri. He is survived by his wife Sarah, his daughters Sharra Acle and Anisha Gillham, his sisters Kelly Ricci, Sue Holm, his brother Scott Gillham, his mother Noreen Gillham, his son-in-law Joel Acle, his sister-in-law Seolyoung Gillham, his brother-in-law Kevin, his niece Anna Ricci, and his nephews Luke Ricci and Joey Ricci. Bill was predeceased by his father.

Bill was an extremely warm-hearted, compassionate person who loved people and always looked for the good in them. He was beloved at his place of employment. Bill's four greatest loves were his God Jehovah, his wife and daughters, music, and nature. He was a professional musician, having composed and recorded a total of six albums. On sunny days, you could find him hiking and taking in breathtaking nature, and any day of the week you would find him at his piano, or playing guitar with his wife. He was highly intelligent, yet profoundly humble, a rare and beautiful combination. He valued love and kindness and had a fantastic sense of humor, making others laugh at every opportunity.  He was a joy to be around, very youthful, never quite looking his age, and will be deeply missed.
