A celebration of the life of William John Aaberg, 77, of Longview, will be 10 a.m. Monday, March 9, 2009, at the chapel of Welch Funeral Home, 4619 Judson Road.
Mr. Aaberg was born May 6, 1931, in Houston, to Quentin and Alva Peyton Aaberg. He grew up in the Brazoria County area and graduated from Angleton High School, Schreiner Institute and attended Texas A&M, where he obtained a degree in journalism. He also attended San Marcos University, where he obtained a master's in music.
He was a band director in Boerne and Caldwell and afterward became an entrepreneur in auto service, ranching, racing, tires, hot dogs, boxing promoter and helped his best friend build a company called NDC Freight, where he worked dispatching trucks before he retired.
William helped bring back Golden Gloves boxing to the city of Longview and created a sport for women called Glamoursports, which was a less dangerous form of boxing for women. He was a Methodist.
Mr. Aaberg was preceded in death by his wife, Jacqueline Aaberg in 2006.
Left to cherish his memory are his daughter and son-in-law, Lisa and David Hawkins; grandchildren, Rachel, Annie, Ruth, David and Mary Elizabeth; and a brother, Quentin Aaberg.
