William Robert (Bill) Axon

William Robert Axon (Bill) of Cumming, GA passed away Monday, October 28, 2019 at the age of 77. Bill was born in Cleveland, OH on February 20, 1942 to Catherine and William Axon.  He married his high school sweetheart, Irene Theresa Flak, on November 21, 1964.  They were married for 55 years. Bill spent his professional career working for North American Manufacturing as a Combustion Engineer where he retired after 36 years of service.  Bill was an avid sailor, a love he passed on to his children and grandchildren.  He enjoyed riding his motorcycle and perfecting his marksmanship at the gun range.  People knew Bill would be the first person to lend a hand to someone in need and could fix or “re-engineer” absolutely anything. Bill is survived by his loving wife, Irene Axon; son and daughter-in-law Mike and Anne Axon, of Brentwood, Tennessee; daughter Susan Axon, of Atlanta, Georgia; daughter and son-in-law Cathy and Dustin Scharff, of Cumming, Georgia; sister and brother-in-law Carol and Jim Zaranec, of Sagamore Hills, Ohio; grandchildren Sarah, Nicholas, and William Axon; Jake, Josh, and Caroline Scharff.
