William A. Hackett

William “Bill” Alan Hackett unexpectedly passed away at Methodist Medical Center on January 6, 2023.

Bill was born in Des Moines, Iowa on August 2, 1955, to William and Jean Hackett. After graduating from Saydel High School in 1973, he would go on to work several jobs before eventually working as a breadman for Sara Lee Bakery for over 40 years to retirement. Even though he was late for his first date with his wife Alice back in 1986, they would go on to marry in 1988, and would raise their son Christopher together.

Bill was a loving father and husband who would spend his free time working on house projects (later helping his son and daughter-in-law with their own), spending time with his wife and grand-puppy, and going to parties and celebrating the holidays with many friends and family members.

Bill is preceded in death by his father William Hackett and brother Tom Hackett. He is survived by his wife Alice, mother Jean, son Christopher (Hannah), brother Gerald (Paula), sister Deborah Owens, sister-in-law Barb Hackett, grand-puppy Copper, and many nieces and nephews.

According to Bill’s wishes, cremation will occur and there will be a celebration of life at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be directed to the American Cancer Society.
