West Columbia, South Carolina – Bill Mooneyhan, 62, loving and devoted husband of Laura H. Mooneyhan, of McSwain Drive West Columbia, passed away Saturday, February 27, 2021, unexpectedly at his home.

Bill was born in Columbia, February 4, 1959, a son of the late Robert (Bob) Mooneyhan and Anne Price Mooneyhan. His grandparents were the late Levi S. and Ruth Mooneyhan and Dr. and Mrs. W.H. (Loubelle) Price.

Mooneyhan Jr.; Mother-in-law, Charlene Russell; and any many adoring nieces, nephews and cousins.

After graduating from Airport High School in 1977, Bill continued to work at his family business. In December 2020 Mooneyhan’s Auto celebrated 40 years of service to the community. He was dedicated to his business and treating his customers like family.

To say Bill loved the City of West Columbia would be an understatement! He has been dubbed the unofficial Mayor and historian of West Columbia.

Bill lived a life of service to others. An enthusiastic, honest, hard worker in everything he did, he was a leader in countless civic endeavors.
