William C. Skaggs

William “Bill” C. Skaggs, age 78, of Goshen, IN went to be with The Lord on Wednesday, May 11, 2022 at home with his family. He was born on September 30, 1943 the son of Jesse and Margaret (Evans) Skaggs in Cheboygan, MI. On August 22, 1970 he married Karletta Amsden in Constantine, MI.

Bill is survived by his wife of over 51 years, Karletta Skaggs of Goshen, IN; Wayne Christopher “Chris” Skaggs, Martha Marie “Marti” Skaggs, and Karletta “Kay” Copp all of Goshen, IN, Elizabeth Skaggs of Ocala, Florida, William “Billy” Skaggs of Muskegon Michigan, and Tammy (Daniel) Yowell of Goshen, IN; twenty-three grandchildren; and twenty-two great-grandchildren; two sisters, Barbara Goodman and Janice (Danny) Smart, both of Michigan; and a brother, Lester (Judy) Skaggs of Colorado; along with step-siblings, numerous nieces and nephews, and many friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents; an infant grandson, Harold Jr.; and several siblings.

Bill was a member of the Goshen Moose Lodge #836 and worked at Dairy Farm Products in Goshen. He also drove truck for several years and worked at Starcraft Marine. Bill loved play cards of any kind, especially Texas Holdem, horseshoe tournaments, and driving his golf cart to The Moose every morning. More than anything, Bill  loved The Lord, and he loved his family. He was a father to many more than just his children and more people called him “Dad” than Bill.

In keeping with Bill’s wishes, cremation will take place and a private family service will be held. A celebration of Bills life will be held at The Goshen Moose Lodge #836 at a later date.
