William Soto Sr.

With profound love and respect, we celebrate the vibrant life of William "Peachy" Soto Sr., a charismatic, resilient, and generous soul, who passed away on June 26, 2026. Born in Trenton, New Jersey, on October 5, 1960, William was not only a loving family man but a talented auto mechanic and detailer. His infectious enthusiasm and fervor for life were evident in everything he did, from his interactions with loved ones to his work in the automobile industry.

Known affectionately as "Pops" to his family and friends, William was a master of his craft. He was revered in the community as a talented self-taught mechanic who happily shared his knowledge with anyone willing to learn. In the quiet moments, he found joy in trying new recipes, social gatherings, and restoring cars. These hobbies were a testament to his resilient spirit, and his generosity of heart was tangible. Retiring in 2024 from his self-established business, Bill's Mobile Auto Detailing, William's legacy in the automobile industry remains unparalleled. The gleaming cars on the streets of Willingboro, NJ, are a testament to his remarkable talent and dedication.

William's love for life was only outmatched by his love for his family and friends. He leaves behind his beloved wife, Estrella Mendoza, his sons William Jr. (Ashley) and Michael (Jacklene), his daughter Christina Parrillo, and his adored grandchildren Owen, Isabella, Jade, Adrian, and Emry. He was preceded in death by his mother, Angelita Soto. William will be greatly missed by all, yet his vivacious spirit, generosity, and warmth will continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.

We invite everyone who knew William to share their memories and upload photos to his memorial page. Each story, each picture, will serve as a testament to his vibrant life, reminding us all of the charismatic, generous, talented man we were so fortunate to know as Peachy, Pops, Bill, and William Soto Sr.
