Forrest "Bill" William Hoffman Iii

It is with immense sorrow that we announce the passing of Forrest (Bill) Hoffman, 39, who departed too soon on October 1st. A devoted husband to Renee and loving father to Forrest and Liam, he was a beacon of kindness to all who knew him. With a heart for serving others, Bill's professional career began with Integrated Wealth Management where he helped others to feel secure and believe in their future through guided planning. He greatly valued the relationships he built there but his desire and search for a higher service led him to enlistment. He honorably served in the United States Army as a Sergeant from 2013-2020. During his time in service, he earned his parachutist Jump Wings. This achievement was a great symbol of his selfless dedication to the mission and team. He was stationed at Fort Irwin, CA and Camp Ederle, Italy. Bill's life was defined by his unconditional love for his family. He approached every day with a commitment to build a warm, joyful, and loving home for his wife and children. To his boys, he was more than dad— he was their biggest fan, one of their closest friends, and their partner in every adventure, whether big or small. Beyond his service and family, Billy was known for his lively and fun personality as well as his caring and compassionate nature. He enjoyed being the life of the party and there was never a dull moment in his presence. He was a man you could always count on, and his unwavering spirit will forever be remembered. He is survived by his wife, Renee; children, Forrest and Liam; father, Forrest (Toni) Hoffman; mother, Maureen (Myron) Begay; grandfather, Larry (Susan) Weber; grandmother, Mary Cockill; sisters, Heather Moncada-Hoffman, Marcy Antes, Leigha Hoffman; brother, Josh Bieri; many nieces and nephews; best friends, Seth (Elisa) Tilton and Josh (Kira) Harper.
