Bill Compton

William "Bill" Alan Compton, age 67, of Grove City, Ohio, passed away on May 6, 2025. Born on November 23, 1957, in Columbus, Ohio, he was the beloved son of the late Jack and Eileen Compton.

Bill is lovingly survived by his devoted wife of 36 years, Deena Compton. Together, they raised two wonderful children, Jake (Sydney) Compton and Megan (Brian) Benjamin. Bill found immense joy in being a grandfather to his cherished grandchildren, Cami, Josie, and Aspyn. His warmth extended to his special cousins, Jodi and Jonda, and he was surrounded by many dear friends and extended family who felt the impact of his caring heart.

A true Ohioan at heart, Bill was an ardent fan of Ohio State and the Cleveland Browns, passionately cheering for his teams through every season. His love for animals and bird watching brought him peace and joy, while his adventurous spirit took him on travels, particularly to the beach, where he cherished the sun and sea. In his youth, Bill was known for his athleticism, engaging in various sports including golf, bowling, softball, and skiing.

Bill’s academic pursuits led him to graduate from Franklin University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business, a testament to his determination and commitment to furthering his education. However, the greatest accomplishments in his life were the memories he created with his family, whom he cherished above all else.

During this difficult time, the family wishes to express their heartfelt gratitude to the staff at Kobacker House Hospice for their exceptional care and compassion. Bill's dignified cremation will take place at Newcomer Funeral Home, honoring his wishes. A Celebration of Life to honor Bill’s memory and the love he shared with so many will be announced at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you make a donation in Bill's name to Ohio Health Foundation Hospice.

Bill Compton will be deeply missed, but his spirit and love will forever resonate in the hearts of his family and friends.
