William Charles Wilbert Jr.

William Charles “Fro” Wilbert Jr., 72, of Mammoth Cave, Kentucky, passed away peacefully at home on March 11, 2026. Born on February 25, 1954, in Louisville, Kentucky, to the late William Charles Wilbert Sr. and Ida Mae Wilbert, he was known to family and friends as “Fro.” With a sharp, mocking sense of humor and a famously stubborn streak, William left a lasting impression on everyone he met.

He worked for many years as a drywall hanger, earning respect for his strong work ethic and his readiness to help others. In his free time, he found joy in hunting, riding four-wheelers, working on cars, and being outdoors. Above all, he cherished the moments spent with his family and those closest to him.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his sister, Linda Miller, and his brothers, Bernie Wilbert and Stevie Wilbert. He is survived by his longtime companion of 44 years, Therese Willoughby; his children, Joshua Willoughby (Billie Jo), Andrew Willoughby (Vanessa Ann), and Vanessa Willoughby (Brandon); his beloved grandchildren, Camron, ZoeAnn, Carissa, Lucas, Bryleigh, and Adeline; his sisters, Annie Goodman, Laura Wilbert, and Lisa Wilbert; and his brother, James Wilbert.

He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who knew him.
