William was a veteran of the United States Army. He graduated with honors from Florida Metropolitan University with a degree in Criminal Justice. William loved his children. During the course of raising them he started using different techniques to teach each child.

He spent the last fifteen years as a Duval County School Board, Paraprofessional specializing in assisting Autistic children.
When William was younger he loved playing basketball. He was a Coach of the Chimney Lakes Girls Basket Team for several years. During the later years of his life, he loved to play cards, fish, crab, bowl, and cook for his family. He had a quirky sense of humor and was a trivia buff. He was always available for neighbor(s), his family and his close friends. Always willing to listen without judgement and lend a helping hand. A Good Samaritan to say the least, about William E. Patterson III. He will be missed dearly.
