The actor, famed for roles in The Bodyguard, Night at the Museum, and New Jack City, exited the film industry. Bill’s brother, Pastor Thomas G. Cobbs, announced the sad news on Facebook: “Bill passed away peacefully at his California home on June 25.”
Bill had recently marked his 90th birthday with dear ones. He was a loving partner, brother, uncle, surrogate parent, godfather, and friend. We find solace in knowing he’s at peace with his Heavenly Father. “We seek your prayers and support during this time.”
