William "Bill" Pat Emery II, 52, of Erwin passed away at his residence on Saturday May 2nd, 2026. He was born to the late William Pat and Nellie Bernice Emery in Johnson City on July 4th, 1973.
Bill was of the Free Will Baptist faith. He was a loving family man. He enjoyed spending time with his family. When Bill was having a rough day the sound of his grandbabies laughing and playing nearby brought him comfort. He had worked as a construction supervisor for many years for J.A. Street. He was a hard worker and enjoyed his work when he was able. Bill could always be found working on a project, tinkering with various projects or building computers. He loved life. In his spare time, he liked fishing, mudding, listening to classic rock, spending time in the mountains or shooting guns. Bill made the most of every day.
Those left to cherish his memory are his wife, Robin Emery of the home; children, Shaylan Broyles, Savanah Emery, and Aleah Emery; grandchildren, Everleigh Broyles, Elena Broyles, and Noah Buchanan; a brother, David Emery; uncles, David Story, Johnny Story, and Tommy Emery and his wife, Willie.
