William Ipock

William Ipock, 83, of Havelock, passed away on November 11, 2024. Born on September 4, 1941, William was a driven and ambitious man who built a legacy through his work as the owner of Guardian Tree Experts. He dedicated himself to the success of his business, establishing it as a respected name in the industry. His work ethic and determination were key to his achievements, and his entrepreneurial spirit inspired many who worked alongside him.

William was a man of many facets and left a unique impression on everyone he encountered. To those who appreciated his boldness and confidence, he was a mentor—a force of nature who never shied away from speaking his mind or pursuing what he believed was best for his future. His ability to navigate challenges and push forward in the face of adversity earned him respect in both his professional and personal circles.

At the same time, William could be a man of great intensity. His expectations for himself and others were high, and while this often led to success in business, it could sometimes create friction in his personal life. His relationships were deeply shaped by his strong personality and unyielding vision for what he believed was right. While not everyone saw eye to eye with him, many admired his tenacity and strength of character.

He was a man who lived life on his terms. Though he could be challenging at times, he also had the capacity to inspire loyalty and admiration in those who shared his values.

His passing marks the close of an important chapter in the lives of those who knew him. While his approach to life was complex, he will be remembered for the mark he made and the lessons he imparted. He is survived by his wife, Delores; his children, Bill (Pearlie) Ipock, Paula (Troy) Reed, and Margaret (Steve) Pardoe; and three grandchildren, Johnathon Reed, Rylie Reed, and Lena Ipock.

May he rest in peace.
