William James Freeman a.k.a. Towtruck 1%er, age 43, of Hartford Ky, passed away April 1, 2026 in true Will Freeman style, on the back of his bike. He had a passion for everything in life that could not be matched. A proud Marine veteran who served three combat tours in Iraq, he would often downplay his service. But anyone who met him knew he was a true American hero. Family isn’t always blood, and he made his own, loving them fiercely. He loved his country, his kids, his dogs, and above all he had found happiness with the love of his life, Cassie. His level of loyalty will never be seen again in this world. He found another family in the Outlaws Motorcycle Club. The brotherhood he found there, along with the Charlie and Kentucky rocker he wore proudly on his back was one of the greatest privileges of his life. He lived a life worthy of an epic novel, the stories that can be told of him will most likely never be believed unless you knew him. But when a man lives his life as passionately as he did, astonishing stories are to be had.

Born August 14th, 1982, raised in Fordsville, KY. He is proceeded in death by his parents, Ernest and Mary Alice McIntyre, a brother Kevin Cline and best friend Avriel Price. He is survived by his wife, Cassandra Freeman of Hartford KY, His children, Jeremiah Kranzler, Alice, and Mason Freeman of Yerington Nevada.
