SANDERS, William Gilbert 63, of Tampa, Florida, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on September 30, 2021. Bill is a man after God's own heart and has long pursued this divine purpose with every fiber of his being. He loves his wife, like Christ loves the church. He is a man of integrity. He is the kind of "Dad" that every child wants, and the kind of "Papi" his grandchildren never want to leave. He is a true friend. He loves to bring laughter into every situation. He is a champion for the least of these. Bill is survived by his loving wife of 41 years, Cindy; his daughter, Christina Sanders Fontana (Joseph); son, William Sanders (Nia); and daughter, Emily Sanders Stickle (Jonathan); as well as grandchildren, Mila, Mason and Monroe Fontana, and Billy Sanders; sister, Marla Healy (Roger); brother, Roger Sanders; sister, Brenda Brewer-Jones (Joseph). Bill graduated from the University of Tampa and owned and operated his own business for many years. He is well loved throughout the Tampa Bay area and is globally recognized for his beautiful sunset photos. A celebration of Bill's life will be held at Idlewild Baptist Church, 18333 Exciting Idlewild Blvd, Lutz, FL 33548, at 11 am on Tuesday, October 5, 2021, the family will receive friends starting at 10 am at the church. Interment will take place at Hillsboro Memorial, 2323, W. Brandon Blvd.
