William Brackett (1957-2020)
Wild Bill joined the Bengals Hall of Fame in heaven! Unfortunately, before Mike Brown could deliver us a Super Bowl. He died peacefully at home enjoying the life that he loved. Heaven just gained the best dad, awesome papaw and number 1 coach they could ever ask for. He gave more time, smiles, laughs, love and maybe a bit of colorful language to everyone he met and every kid he ever coached.
He is survived by his children which he adored- Bernie (& the Puerto Rican), Skateman (solo), and Shell Bell (& dumb @**). He was so proud of being a Papaw to Tojo, Lily, Layla & Abram. It looks like Starburst and scratch off ticket stocks might take a dip! He also left behind brothers, sisters and good friends (The Ricks).
He would want nothing other than a celebration of life including singing Bruce Springsteen and Jimmy Buffett songs, with a little bit of sports and movie trivia sprinkled in. Make 5 people you don't know a day smile and you'll be living life right, while also living the Bill Brackett legacy. Cheers to the Hit King Pete Rose 4256.
