William “Little Bill” Leslie Toler II

April 22, 1986 – July 8, 2025


With deep sorrow and profound love, we announce the passing of William Leslie Toler II, who departed this life on July 8, 2025, at the age of 39.

Born on April 22, 1986, Bill was a beloved son, brother, father, and friend. His presence was a steady smile or hug to those who knew him—warm, generous, and always ready with a story. Bill lived with a deep love to those he held near.

He will be remembered for his sharp wit, his sense of humor, and the love he showed to everyone around him. He touched many lives through his laughter, his personality, and his unique ability to make people feel truly seen and valued.

Bill leaves behind a legacy of love and cherished memories. Though his time here was far too short, the impact of his life will echo in the hearts of his family, friends and son forever. He was an avid Dallas Cowboys fan and they broke his heart season after season, surely this year will be their year.

He is preceded in death by grandparents Sesco and Ada Adkins, Pablo “Poppy” and Irene Hamb, Sharon and Johnny Clay, Wendell Wilkie Chapman, and Rusty “Bub” Nelson.

He is survived by his Son, Crew Toler; Parents, Christy Toler and Bill (Trish) Toler; sister, Jordan (Cody) Gosien; girlfriend Carrie Wright; step brother, Jonathan Richardson; nieces, Mila, Jules, Zaylee, Audrey and Abigail; grandparents, Shirley Chapman; aunts and uncles, Cindy (Rusty) Nelson, Bobby (Heather) Chapman, Scott (Mutton) Chapman, Karen (Ellis) Davis, and Tjuania (Joe) Vance, Debbie (Mark) Pernell and his many cousins who were his very best friends, Shay (Michael) Farmer, Cayden Davis, Carissa McCormick, Savannah Nelson-White, Tara Preece, Jennifer (Cyril) Sabol, Kevin (Shirley) Whisman, Payton Chapman, Rebecca (Bob) Letendre, Josh Hileman, Glen (Jessica) Adkins, and Dave (Elizabeth) Adkins.

Visitation will be held from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Saturday July 12th at Akers-James Funeral Home in Logan. Services will be held at 1:00 p.m. Burial will follow at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Pecks Mill.

Special friends: Brandon Browning, Larry Jackson, Mark Hatcher, John Loggins, Grant Adkins, Josh Lawson, Rocky Mendez, Cameron Little, Josh Triplett, Jeff Cooper, Bobby Belcher, CB Green, Todd Farmer, Dustin Woody and many more.
