Wiliam H. Hathaway

William Henry Hathaway II, of Whitehall, PA, passed away suddenly on December 8, 2025.

Bill was a passionate musician, gifted songwriter, and the lead singer of the rock band Kid Bonney. Through his music, he left a lasting mark on those who heard it, pouring his heart, honesty, and energy into every song. Alongside his bandmates, Bill produced two albums that continue to resonate with friends, fans, and fellow musicians who admired his talent and authenticity.

Beyond music, Bill was deeply committed to building community. He was a founding member of Sunday Assembly Pittsburgh, a non-religious group that gathers to celebrate life.  There he helped build a place where people lived better, helped often, and wondered more.  Whether through song or service, Bill had a way of bringing people together.

Above all else, Bill was devoted to his family. He is survived by his loving wife, Dawn and stepdaughter Max; his ex-wife and oldest childhood friend, Michele; and his two amazing daughters, Kayleigh and Kiera, whom he adored beyond measure. His love for his daughters was evident in every part of his life and remains a defining legacy of who he was.

Bill also leaves behind countless friends, fellow musicians, and fans whose lives were touched by his music, kindness, and spirit. His voice, creativity, and presence will be deeply missed but never forgotten.

Private arrangements were entrusted to Pittsburgh Cremation & Funeral Care, Robinson Township, Pennsylvania
