William Harding

William “Bill” Lee Harding, 51, of Lubbock, Texas, passed away on Friday, September 5, 2025.

Bill was a loving father to his two sons, Tryston Harding and Easton Harding of Windthorst, Texas, who were his greatest joy. He was the beloved son of James and Connie Harding, and the cherished brother of Becky and her husband Tracy Richardson of Bryson, as well as Jennifer and her husband Austin Estes of Lubbock. He was a proud uncle to his nieces, Bayley and Brinkley Richardson, and his nephews, Xander and Xathan Estes.

Bill had a deep love for the outdoors. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, and watching football, especially when sharing those moments with his sons and his dad. Among his favorite pastimes was fly fishing in the mountains of Colorado, where he found peace and happiness. Watching Tryston and Easton play sports was one of his greatest blessings.

Known for his humor, Bill thought everything was funny—even when it wasn’t—and his contagious laugh will forever remain in the hearts of his family and friends.

Bill loved the Lord and found renewed faith through his time at Malta Farms in Slaton, Texas. His faith gave him strength and comfort, and his legacy of laughter, love, and faith will live on through those who knew him.

Funeral services will be held at 11:00 am, Thursday, September 18, 2025 at First Baptist Church in Bryson, Texas. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Malta Farms in Slaton, Texas, in honor of Bill’s memory: https://tithe.ly/give_new/www/#/tithely/give-one-time/2340821
