William Lee Cummings

May 10, 1956 - May 6, 2018

William Lee Cummings (Bill) was born May 10, 1956 in Mount Clemens, Michigan. After moving at a young age to California with his family, Bill spent the majority of his younger years growing up in Valley Center. He married Becky, his wife of 40 years, on February 25, 1978. Bill enjoyed many opportunities to serve the Lord, such as time spent as a deacon and an elder, an interim camp director for Palomar Christian Conference Center, and a board member of that camp for 19 years. Along with serving the local church, he and his family participated in several mission trips, in places ranging from Arizona to Washington state. He spent a few years volunteering for the Forest Fire Lookout Association on Palomar Mountain, and also as a volunteer for Del Oro Pacific, a model train enthusiast group. Bill was an extremely skilled contractor, and at the end of his life was working for The Classical Academy, in a job that he greatly enjoyed. Bill had a loving and servant-hearted attitude in every God given opportunity, and was always looking for ways to contribute to the world around him. He loved his family well and passionately, and will be missed immensely. He is survived by his wife, Becky, and his children Ben, David, Jenny, and Lori; his sons- and daughters-in-law William, Jordan, Melissa, and Carolyn; and 7 grandchildren (with one on the way) Annie, Charlie, Emily, Hannah, Jack, Zeke, and Ethan, as well as his mother Bonnie, and sisters Janice and Julie. In lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to a group that Bill loved supporting, Go Now missions, an organization which helps equip college students to take the Gospel to the world (visit gonowmissions.com).
