Obituary
William Wayland Gregorich, born December 8, 1958, in Detroit, Michigan, passed away on September 7, 2026, in Livonia, Michigan, at the age of 67.
William was a man of many passions and a heart full of love. He found joy in playing the guitar, often filling his home with music. His enthusiasm for collecting Hot Wheels cars brought him much happiness, and he was known to spend countless hours restoring old cars, breathing new life into classic vehicles. William also cherished his time spent relaxing in his hot tub, a simple pleasure he held dear.
His love for dogs was well-known, and no dog was more special to him than his beloved companion, Ziggy, who was always by his side.
William is preceded in death by his loving parents, William and Carol. He leaves behind a family who dearly loved him, including his siblings, Gary (Judy) Shellenbarger and Karen Mitchell. He will be fondly remembered by his nieces and nephews: Melisa (Rob) Kolling, Erik (Kim) Shellenbarger, Jennifer (Andy) Mullett, Tara (Ryan) Parker, and Jamison (Sara) Mitchell.
William will be missed by all who knew him, but his memory will live on in the hearts of those he touched.
In lieu of flowers, donations in William's memory may be made to the Michigan Humane Society.
