William E. “Bill” Durham, 57, Ligonier, passed away unexpectedly Friday, June 3, 2016, at his home. He was born on Oct. 13, 1958, the son of John L. and Janet L. (Halsey) Durham.

He is survived by three sisters: Cheryl Durham, Crown Point; Jackie Durham, Kendallville; and Jennifer (Tim) Miller, Fort Wayne; four nephews: Nathan; Nick; TJ; and Ben; along with many aunts; uncles; and cousins. He was preceded in death by his parents.

Bill had a love for lakes, animals, and nature in general. He was a true outdoorsman that loved fishing and taking walks through the woods. Yet more than anything, he enjoyed just being with his family.

A private family service will be held at a later date with burial to take place at Oak Park Cemetery, Ligonier.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be directed to the family.

Legacy Cremation and Remembrance Center will be handling arrangements.
