He is survived by his wife, Marcia Danielle Mallaber; mother, Sherry Mallaber of New Bern; brother, Sean Mallaber; grandfather, William Lancaster of Vanceboro; aunt, Kathy Gilbert of Vanceboro; and several cousins.
William was a loving and devoted husband, son and brother. He was very light-hearted and free spirited. He helped everyone he could. He always had a kind word for anyone and defended anyone he felt was in need for whatever reason.
