William Benjamin Griffin II

William Benjamin Griffin II, aged 36, unexpectedly departed this world on Monday, November 6, 2023, at his residence in Albany. He was born on June 26, 1987, in Raleigh, NC, the son of William B. Griffin, Sr., and the late Elizabeth Reagan Griffin.

William was a skilled laborer in the construction industry, where he found deep satisfaction in working with his hands. An enthusiastic outdoorsman, he cherished the Adirondacks and the numerous hiking trails they offered, embracing the wonders of nature. Beyond his outdoor pursuits, he had a passion for drawing, writing, and reading. However, his greatest source of happiness was the time he spent with his son, which held a special place in his heart.

William is survived by his loving wife, Brianna Griffin; his beloved son, Jameson Griffin; stepdaughter, Aiva Adams; his father, William B. Griffin, Sr., and stepmother, Lisa Griffin; as well as his sisters, Windy Malandrino, Melissa Griffin, Elizabeth Griffin, Jennifer Griffin, and Virginia Griffin. He leaves behind numerous nieces, nephews, and friends who will forever miss his presence.

He is preceded in death by his mother, Elizabeth Reagan Griffin, and his brother, Jeremy Griffin.

In accordance with the family's wishes, there will be no calling hours or service held at this time.
