Warren – William Francis “Bill” Daykin, 79, of Warren passed away on Wednesday morning, November 4, 2026 at St. Joseph Hospital.

Bill was born on July 16, 1947 in Warren, OH, a son of the late William Thomas and Mary Daykin.

Bill was a proud 1967 graduate of Warren Western Reserve High School, always reminding others that he was in the first graduating class in the new building. Throughout his youth and into the late 1980’s, Bill worked as an auto mechanic and a tow truck driver. He also worked on the janitorial staff, or as a “cleaning specialist” as he would say, for both Republic Steel and Thomas Steel.

Outside work and in his retirement, Bill was a loyal and devoted Notre Dame Football fan. He was also known for being a fisherman and loved dogs of any size and breed. Bill was also a Cleveland Browns fan and enjoyed NASCAR.

In his personal life, Bill proudly achieved 33 years of sobriety and he was deeply devoted to his family. He loved his children and grandchildren and was proud of all their accomplishments.

Bill is survived by his wife of 34 years, Marybeth Trekur Daykin; children, Nicole (Chris) Harker of Niles, Stacy Daykin of Niles and William “Bill” (Courtney) Daykin of Dry Ridge, KT; his beloved grandchildren, Christopher, Nicholas, Anthony, Lilliana, Aria, Vincent, Nova, Nolan, William and Maverick; sister, Rosemary (Dave) Petrilla of Champion and many loved nieces and nephews.

In addition to his parents, Bill was preceded in death by his sister, Maryann.
