William Leon Fletcher Jr.

William Leon Fletcher Jr., age 73, of Hahira, Georgia, passed on Monday, October 6, 2025, at South Georgia Medical Center. He was born on May 26, 1952, in Chester, Pennsylvania to late parents William Leon Fletcher Sr. and Dorothy Mae Hoban Fletcher.

He was a God-fearing man whose faith guided every step of his life. Deeply devoted to his family and friends, he showed his love not just in words, but in the countless ways he cared for those around him. A true explorer at heart, he found joy in traveling—whether across the country or to distant corners of the world—always open to experiencing new places.

Hardworking and steadfast, he poured his energy into everything he did, taking pride in a job well done. He was a lifetime lover of music and when Frankie Beverly came on, he would be found on the dance floor “bopping” with his wife. In his free time, he enjoyed a good western movie, cheering on his favorite sports teams, or spending time with his grandson – appreciating life’s simple pleasures.

He is preceded in death by his parents; son, MSgt Jason William Fletcher; and brother, Dennis Fletcher.

He is survived by his loving and devoted wife of 50 years, Kim Hicks Fletcher; daughter, Tomica Fletcher of Claymont, DE; grandson, Ashton Fletcher; brother, Kevin Fletcher (Denise) of Sweedsboro, NJ; sisters- in- laws; Darnice Hicks Johnson (Dennis) of Virginia Beach, VA, Tonya Hicks Hines of Springfield, PA, Robyn Hicks Roberts (Keith) of Boothwyn, PA, Lola Hicks of Chichester, PA and Marion Hicks Weathers (Alex) New Castle, DE; and a brother- in-law, Reginald Hicks (Rochelle) of Sharon Hill, PA; and a host of nieces and nephews.

As per the family’s wishes, he will be cremated. A memorial will be held at a later date in Delaware.
