William B Mace

Our beloved William B Mace was born November 22, 1971 in Salt Lake City, Utah. He was the third child of Marlow D Mace and Sally Elizabeth Jeppson Mace. He lived in Fillmore, Utah during his childhood and later moved to Arizona.

Bill was Valedictorian and Music Sterling Scholar at Millard High School where he was actively involved in school activities. His gift for music grew as he participated in the school musicals all four years in a leading role. He loved playing the trumpet, singing in choirs, and performing with his family. He was very competitive in sports and loved basketball, football, and track, and holds the current record for pole vault. He graduated with a Bachelors in Industrial Engineering at University of Arizona and a MBA from Arizona State University. William found his niche at Intel as a industrial engineer and senior supply chain analyst who designed and developed customized data automation and modeling tools.

In 1993 William married the love of his life, Christy Lynn Figueira. They have five children: Michael, Nicholas, Quinten, Brooklyn, and Kevin. In June they celebrated their 24th anniversary. William always said his family was his greatest joy and biggest success. His fondest moments were of his family playing the guitar and singing together. Anyone who entered their home soon found themselves involved in the musical activities of their family.

William was very active in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He served an honorable two-year mission for the Church in Anchorage, Alaska, where he found a deep love to serve others. He served in various callings throughout his life. He had a talent for building and working with his hands and loved being outdoors and therefore found great joy for 10 years in the Scouting program.
