William Charles Sadler, Jr., 43, passed away December 22, 2024, surrounded by his family after a brief illness. Born on November 13, 1981, in Flint, Michigan, to William and Gloria Sadler, William was a man of many talents, known for his love of family, friends, and the great outdoors.

A member of the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians of the Upper Great Lakes region, William embodied a strong connection to nature and heritage. A master of all trades, he could accomplish anything he set his mind to, though he truly excelled in mechanics. His expertise and passion for fixing things made him a highly respected mechanic who could repair almost anything.

William's versatile skills extended into his many hobbies, which reflected his love for the outdoors. He found joy in hunting, fishing, kayaking, snorkeling, taking cruises, and searching for arrowheads. His laughter, quick wit, and sense of humor were constants in his life, as he shared jokes and a smile with everyone he met.

Above all, William treasured his family. He was deeply devoted to his children, his cherished mother, Gloria, and his beloved wife of two months, Lane. Together, he and Lane created a life full of love and adventure.
