William Wayne Harmon III

William Wayne Harmon III of Culloden, West Virginia, passed away on June 24, 2024, at the age of 31. Born January 25, 1993, in Charleston, West Virginia, William — often called by those closest to him using the family name he carried — was a son who deeply loved his family and a father who treasured his children.

William is remembered foremost as a father to his sons Bentley Harmon, Jace Freeman, and Gabriel Nelson. Family was central to his life: he was the son of William Wayne Harmon Jr. and Melissa Dawn Harmon, and brother to Jessica Dawn, Amber Nichole, and Seira Roshell Harmon. Those who knew him recall how important the everyday moments were to him — spending time with his children, being present in family gatherings, and holding fast to the bonds that mattered most.

Friends and family planned a funeral service to honor William’s life on July 6, 2024, at Forest Memorial Park in Milton, with Wallace Funeral Home assisting the family. The service was an opportunity for those who loved him to gather, share memories, and celebrate the simple, lasting impact he had on the people closest to him.

While William’s passing was sudden and deeply felt by his community, his legacy is carried forward in the lives of his children and the many small acts of care and loyalty he showed those around him. He will be remembered for his devotion to family and the quiet ways he expressed love. Those who wish to share condolences or remember William’s life were encouraged to do so through the funeral home’s online guest registry.
