Billy Bob Bass
Billy Bob Bass, 80, of Pittsburg, Kansas went to be with the Lord on Sunday, Nov. 24, 2024, in Kingman, Arizona, surrounded by his loved ones. Bill was born March 9, 1944, and raised in Pittsburg, Kansas. Bill was born to parents Cora Jane Albertson-Bass and Albert William Bass Sr.
Bill is survived by his loving wife, Charlotte Bass, who Bill met in 1964 and married on Dec. 22, 1965. Bill serves in the United States Marine Corps for six years and was honorably discharged on April 6, 1966. Before this, Bill became a certified electrician in 1979 and worked at Bass Electric in Ottawa, Kansas. Bill moved to Kingman, Arizona in August of 1981 where he worked as an electrician for Mohave County and retired as the manager for the Public Works Department.
Bill is survived by his one and only child, his daughter, Darlene Schwab and her spouse, Dean Schwab. He is also survived by three grandchildren, Joseph Baker, Ashley Merrill, and Courtney Christiansen. Bill had one great-grandson, Alan Baker. He is also survived by one sister Alice Stewart, of Pittsburg, Kansas.
Bill was extremely kind and loved his family with his whole heart. Bill was always joking and laughing with family and friends. His joy and smile were infectious. One could usually find Bill with a cup of black coffee and a sweet treat. His family is heartbroken, but we are comforted by a lifetime of wonderful memories with an amazing husband, father, and papa.
A private ceremony will be performed later at Southern Nevada Veterans Memorial Cemetery for Bill?s close family and friends. Bill?s family would like to extend a special thank you to all of the nurses and doctors who helped care for him in his final days with special thanks to the medical staff at Kingman Regional Medical Center as well as the staff at Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center, CVICI unit in Las Vegas, Nevada. We are also extremely grateful to all who have reached out with food, flowers, comforting thoughts, prayers and memories of Bill. Bill truly touched the hearts of all those he encountered and will never be forgotten.
