Mr. William Henry Felder, 71, of Charlotte, NC, departed this life on Thursday, October 24, 2024, at Accordius Midwood Nursing Home.

Mr. William Henry Felder was born on December 21, 1952, the only son of the late Ms. Margaret Felder. To most friends and family, he was affectionately known as "T."  William was a native of Charlotte, NC.

William was educated by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School System. He was a graduate of Garinger High School, Class of 1970, and was a member of the Varsity basketball team. Upon graduation, William became gainfully employed by the Charlotte Observer Newspaper, where he worked tirelessly for over 38 years until his retirement.

William was an all-around family man, celebrated for his remarkable sense of humor; his laughter was not only infectious but also brought joy to everyone around him. He enjoyed watching sports, playing dominoes, and card games with family and friends. William loved helping those in need. You could always find him being supportive and encouraging to those around him. On Thursday, October 24, 2024, our beloved William made his transition into heaven and will be missed immensely.

William was preceded in death by his mother, Ms. Margaret Felder; grandson, Elijah Taylor; and cousins, Thomas Felder, Charles "Ant" Jefferson and Kenneth "Kenny Lee" Jefferson.
