William Christian Ludwig
January 9, 1955 - September 20, 2024

William “Bill” Christian Ludwig moved on from this life at his home in Edgewater, MD, on Friday, September 20, 2024, at the age of 69. On June 26, 1976, he married the love of his life, Peggy Christine Aley Ludwig. They were blessed with three loving children. She joined the Lord in 2002, and he waited 22 years and 28 days to reunite with her in Heaven. He was a man dedicated firmly to his faith and his family. Bill could be found anywhere his grandchildren were, sprinkling seeds of happiness and Scripture into their lives.

He had been a proud residential painter since 1975, always working alongside his family and eventually leaving his legacy to his son, who established WCL Painting in 2016. He was an impassioned Washington Capitals fan, avid golfer, and enthusiast for The Allman Brothers Band.

Bill was the son of the late Paul Franklin Ludwig, Jr. and Nola Mae Cagle Ludwig. He is survived by his three children, Jennifer Marie (Mark) Goss of Annapolis, MD, Jaclyn Christine (Tyler) Besche of Queenstown, MD, and William Christian (Candace) Ludwig II of Severna Park, MD; seven adoring grandchildren, Reese Makenna Goss, Delaney Sophia Goss, Zander Miles Goss, William Christian Ludwig III, Finn Marie Ludwig, Aley June Besche, and Brooks Carter Besche; and seven sisters, Paula Seaman, Cathy Reed, Nola Crumbacker, Sherri Ludwig, Ann Holman, Tina Lindner, and Donna Bridgman. He was preceded in death by his brothers, Paul Ludwig III and Larry Ludwig, and his sister, Terri Wilson. 

Family and friends will be received for a funeral service and reception on Monday, September 30, 2024, at 10 a.m. at Bay Area Community Church, 884 Chesterfield Rd, Annapolis, MD. A private burial will be held on Tuesday, October 1, 2024.
