Everybody loved Bill. He will forever be known for his gentle, serving spirit and boundless creativity. His eye for color and beauty was extraordinary, and if you knew him, you knew he noticed everything, from a blade of grass to the ebb and flow of the tide. But above all, Bill believed people were more important than things.
After decades in advertising and marketing, Bill followed his passion by creating Bill Edwards Art and BeAFish Designs. Every design begins as one of his original works of art, inspired by the fish he caught and released and the places he loved most.
Bill Edwards Art and BeAFish Designs were in their infancy when Bill was diagnosed with cancer in 2009. He faced illness with unflagging courage and grace, leaving with lessons that continue to inspire us today: Be grateful. Love better. Serve more. Be brave. Celebrate every day. Focus on others. Trust God.
You may not have known Bill Edwards, but in owning a piece of his art or apparel, you become part of his legacy, the ripple effect of a Renaissance man.
