William A Unger

William (Bill) Andrew Unger, 51, of Hanahan, South Carolina passed away on Wednesday, August 13, 2025, at his residence. Bill was born on February 24, 1974, in Covington, Tennessee, the son of Mary Lou (Cooper) Unger and the late Roger Unger. Bill worked for Boeing in Charleston, South Carolina for 16 years with his most recent position as a 1st Shift Senior Operations Manager overseeing the following departments: Cranes, Tooling, Move Team, Moonshine Shop, Mylars, Weld Shop, and Tow Team. Bill was passionate about his job and was dedicated to the organization. He volunteered without reservation to help whenever it was needed. His dedication to the organization did not go unnoticed-- with Boeing flying a flag on August 13, 2025, in honor of his memory. Bill was a military dependent and spent his childhood years in Beaufort, South Carolina and Adak, Alaska, where he graduated high school. Bill played high school basketball, and the team won the state championship during his senior year. As an adult, Bill was passionate about playing golf and played to win (although he did not win all the time like he said). He enjoyed playing pool and hanging out with his work buddies. He also enjoyed watching sports and riding motorcycles in his spare time. Those who knew Bill understood how passionate he was about his vehicles and that he changed and/or upgraded them every couple of years. While he enjoyed all these things, his greatest enjoyment was going to Ohio for vacation twice a year to have his mother and sister cook his favorite meals and cater to him. Bill was very quick-witted and had a unique sense of humor and a laugh that drew people to him. However, he always had to have the last word and did not like to lose at anything, whether it was at golf or chili cook-offs. Bill is survived by his mother, Mary Lou (Cooper) Unger of Peebles, Ohio; his sister, Kelly (Robbie) Powell; two nephews, Jonathan and Timothy Cox; and his best friend Poncho (his dog), all of Peebles, Ohio. He is also survived by his grandmother, Dorothy (Baker) Cooper of West Union, Ohio; and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins. He was preceded in death by his father, Roger Unger of Riverside, California; his grandfather, Jesse Cooper, of Seaman, Ohio; and his grandparents, Herbert and Phyllis Unger of Whiting, New Jersey. Family and friends may pay their respects during visitation on Thursday, August 21, 2025, from 11:00 am to 12:00 pm, at the Peebles Church of Christ in Christian Union, in Peebles. Funeral services will be held following the visitation, on Thursday, August 21, 2025, beginning at 12:00 pm, at the Peebles Church of Christ in Christian Union, in Peebles.
