William was born to Ellen Nevada Rogers and Duilio D’Albora on March 22, 1971 in Chicago, Illinois. After a childhood in his Illinois homeland, in 1986 he moved with his parents to Fort Myers, where as a youth he enjoyed rock & roll music, role-playing games, and exploring the world’s mysteries.
In 1992 he enlisted in the United States Army, where he served for 6 years as a heavy vehicle mechanic, including for 10 months in Bosnia. He was awarded five medals and two ribbons for his honorable service. After returning to Florida, he worked as a professional mechanic, waiter, construction worker, and repairman. For many years he manned a beach ice cream cart, to the delight of countless Fort Myers beachgoers. He faced hurricane after hurricane and the recovery and reconstruction efforts with his characteristic courage, generosity, and upbeat spirit.
He loved to sing and play guitar with old friends and new, to revel in nature’s wonders, to have deep conversations, and to make people laugh with a sparkle in his eyes. In 2020, he and Tamara Morgan fell in love and together they enjoyed many adventures and happy times.
A distinguished veteran and patriot, a musician, a seeker and a noble soul, William is survived by his fiancée Tamara, his brothers Geoffrey and Christopher and sister Lisa, and all his family and many friends who love him dearly.
