William Doepkens Passes Away

 

 William J. Doepkens, age 67, suddenly passed away from a massive heart attack at his farm on Md 424, near US 50,  on October 25, 2024.

Bill was born on January 10, 1957 to William P. and Marjorie J. Doepkens (né Desmarais). After graduating from Southern High School in 1975 where he was in the Future Farmers of America, he became a third-generation farmer on the 100-year-old diversified crop and livestock/tobacco family farm. After his father’s death in 2000, Bill continued the family tradition of devoted stewardship of the land, raising small grains, hay, cattle, laying chickens, flowers, mums, and pumpkins. In addition, he developed an on-farm store for his products and a floral-design event business. He held a deep appreciation for and an understanding of the beauty of nature.

Bill had many interests outside of farming, enjoying domestic and international travel, photography, and especially musical pursuits. In the early ‘90s he joined the choir of St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Annapolis in addition to cantoring and singing at weddings and funerals. He also sang in the Dignity Church choir and became a chorister in the Annapolis Chorale and the Annapolis Chamber Choir. Still later, he became a tenor with the Washington Oratorio Society which became the Washington Chorus. When the City Choir of Washington was born, he began a new chapter in his singing career. In 2008 he became the alternate section leader for the T1s and served as vice president of the choir for two years before he became president in 2014 and served in that role for several years. One of the principals that guided his musical pursuits as well as his life is from Maya Angelou: “Let nothing dim the light that shines from within.”

Bill was predeceased by his parents, William P. and Marjorie J. Doepkens. He is survived by four siblings: Jean Wright of Richmond, VA; Marjorie (David) Salyers of Annapolis; Frederick Doepkens of Stewartstown, PA; and Elizabeth (Jon) Yuan of Odenton. He is also survived by five nieces: Katie Salyers, Christina Salyers, Sarah Jean Wright, Anna Wright and Alyssa Yuan; a nephew Andrew Yuan; and a grand- nephew Jackson Salyers. In addition, he is survived by numerous cousins.

A Visitation will be at Taylor M. Funeral Home in Annapolis on Friday, November 15, 2024 (due notice of time will be given). A funeral mass will be held at 9 am on Saturday, November 16, 2024 in Saint Mary’s Catholic Church 109 Duke of Gloucester Street Annapolis, Maryland 21401.
