William “Bill” Stephen Brazle, 66, of North Little Rock, went to his eternal home on Wednesday, April 06, 2016, after a long and courageous battle with cancer. He was born in Fort Worth, TX May 8, 1949 to Alpha and Helen (Blakenship) Brazle. He was raised in the North Little Rock area by his mother and step-dad, Frank Carmean.
Bill graduated from North Little Rock High School in 1967 after which he joined the U.S. Navy. After his service in the Navy, he worked in the construction industry and was a blacksmith. Some of his hobbies included fishing, watching football and boxing, but he was most happy when spending time with family and friends. Some of his proudest moments were at the ball field watching Billy pitch from Little League through college, and then being able to see him receive his Masters in Educational Leadership. He was a member of the Wildcats Supper Club and the TOS (Table of Solutions) Breakfast club and looked forward to their monthly and weekly get-togethers. Bill had a huge, tender heart and was loved by all who knew him.
Bill is survived by his children (to him there was no “step” in children), William “Billy” Brazle, Jr.(Tiffany) of Little Rock; Michal “Sissy” Vadney of Little Rock; CPO Richard King Retired USN (Dawn Marie) of North Carolina; Joshua Kennedy of Austin, TX; and Corbin Noll of Little Rock; grandson, Stephen King; granddaughter, Reece Vadney; sisters, Nancy Kimbrell (Danny) and Carolyn Cates (Kerry); three nephews, Brad and Andy Kimbrell and Eric Cates; niece, Nancy Cates; his best friend and mother of his children, Barbara Noll; and numerous friends, whom he considered family.
