William Keith Cushing died on Monday, January 31, 2011 at his home in Holbrook, Arizona from a lung disease. He was 57 years old. William was born on November 27, 1953 in Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota to the late William N. and Sara (Clowe) Nichols. He moved to Arizona 30 years ago and worked as a bowling mechanic for much of that time. William was a quiet man by nature and enjoyed living in the sleepy town of Holbrook. He thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful views of the, not-so-distant, Painted Desert. Having never married, William is survived by a sister, Barbara E. Cushing of Hamburg, New York. Private services are being cared for by Owens Livingston Mortuary - Holbrook Chapel.
