Bill Waller was born on August 31, 1948 in Guthrie, OK to parents William Robert, Sr. and Betty Pauline (Hirzel) Waller. He passed away on February 22, 2023 in Kingwood, TX.
Bill grew up going home to visit family in Oklahoma, but his formative years of growth were spent in Wichita, Kansas. He married Debbie Jo Fox in 1970, and they were married for nearly 53 years. He received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Music Education from Wichita State University and spent most of his life in the service of Jesus as a Minister of Music in churches in Kansas, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas. He served on mission trips to Brazil and Kazakhstan with The Singing Men of Arkansas. In every place he served he organized, led, or was a part of gospel and folk singing groups—which was one of his great loves—writing many of the songs they performed. He loved his children, grandchildren, fishing, reading, guitars, and ukeleles. Over the last few years, he gave voice, guitar, and ukelele lessons at Kingwood Music School and was a well-loved substitute teacher at Kingwood Park and Kingwood High Schools.
Bill is survived by his loving wife of 52 years, Debbie Waller; daughter, Etta Linton (Michael); sons, Joseph (Miki) Waller and Philip Waller; Sister and brother-in-law, Pam and Eddie Hoffman; brother and sister-in-law, David and Trish Waller; sister, Mari Swihart; grandchildren, Jamie, Jaden, Jase, and Janie Marie Linton, and Mio and Jaxton Waller; numerous nieces and nephews, cousins and friends.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Bill, Sr. and Betty Waller.
Honorary pall bearers are Brett Swihart, Bryce Swihart, Will Speegle, Max Wright, Cliff Lathouwers, Danny Fox, and Tom Mead.
