William Richard ‘Bill’ Arsenty, 46

William Richard “Bill” Arsenty, 46, passed away on Saturday, May 27, 2023, in Dallas, Texas. Born April 6, 1977 in Woodstock, he was the first of two children to Bob and Ginny Arsenty.
Growing up, Bill loved nature and fishing. You’d often find him down by the nearby creek catching frogs or fishing at the nearest park. He started many friendships as a teenager he would maintain for the rest of his life.
In 2002, he met Jamie Graham and her daughter, Nicole. He joined their family and soon created their own, having two more daughters together. Bill, Jamie, and the girls eventually moved down to Texas, settling in Midlothian. For the last eleven years, he worked for the McLane Company as a truck driver, where he would often listen to podcasts on his long road trips. In his free time, he would hang out in his garage and work on projects and hobbies or go out riding his Harley-Davidson motorcycle. He loved talking to his family on the phone every week and hanging out with friends whenever he was in town. He had a big, beautiful heart.
He is survived by his parents; his wife of 20 years, Jamie; his brother, Neil Arsenty (Kelly); his two half-brothers, Robert Arsenty Jr. (Sandra) and Peter Arsenty (Myrna); and his daughters, Nicole (Andrew) Lawson, Kiara Arsenty, and Trisha Arsenty.
In lieu of flowers, the family is asking for donations on GoFundMe to help offset the continuing costs associated with Bill’s hospitalization and final arrangements. There will be a celebration of Bill’s life for his family and many friends in Woodstock later this summer.
