William Lewis Boettcher, Sr., age 90, of Drakes Branch, VA passed away peacefully at his home on December 23, 2024, surrounded by his family after a courageous battle with cancer.

Lewis, born June 3, 1934, was the son of the late Wayne G. and Virginia V. Boettcher. He was predeceased by a brother, Wayne Boettcher of Chesapeake, VA.

H., VA, and Pat Anderson of Nathalie, VA; one brother, John Boettcher of Farmville, VA; one sister-in-law, Bobbi Boettcher of Chesapeake, VA. In addition to numerous nieces and nephews.

Lewis was a man of few words but the way he lived his life spoke for him. He remained active until the last month of his life.

Lewis was a lifetime member of Timberwolf Hunt Club. He enjoyed hunting, fishing with his grandson, farming and yard work.

Graveside services will be held at 2 p.m., Friday, December 27, 2024, at Evergreen Cemetery, Charlotte C. H., VA.
