William Henry Noble Claiborne, 21, of Wichita Falls, Texas, passed away on June 7, 2026.

The family will receive friends from noon until 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, June 17 at Lunn's Colonial Funeral Home. A Memorial Service will follow at 1:00 p.m. with Chaplain Justin L. King, officiating. The family welcomes friends to a visitation following the service.

Son of Patrick Claiborne and Kaci Luburich, William was born on October 12, 2004, in Dallas, Texas and resided in Wichita Falls most of his life.

Throughout his life, Will held many titles—son, grandson, brother, nephew, cousin, and friend—but the titles he cherished most were husband and father. William was a connoisseur of the finer things in life: sneakers, video games, paintball, Japanese Sports Cars, but his greatest love was his devoted wife Selena and their beautiful daughters Azari, 16 months, and Sareli, 4 months.

How do you adequately express the love, sadness, and heartbreak that comes with losing someone so special? How do you put into words the grief that follows when a life is gone far too soon?

He is survived by his wife, Selena; daughters, Azari and Sareli; parents, Kaci and Patrick; sister, Kat; brother, Trip; Grandparents, Donna, John, Dennis, Mike and Kim; and Uncle Aaron Claiborne and family Thadizza, Lucaz, Analiz, Izabelle, Ainzley, Eizlyn, and Jozef; Aunt Allyson Claiborne Herrera and family Alex, Mia Grace, Elijah, and Peyton; Aunt Ashley Payne and family, Jordan, Haven, Canyon; Aunt Natalie Chan and family Brandon and Madeline.

We have had the privilege of watching William grow from a sweet young boy into a devoted husband and father who loved his family fiercely and worked tirelessly to provide for them. The impact William made on all of us cannot be measured. His love, kindness, and dedication to those he cared about will remain with us forever.

Will, we are so grateful for the privilege of being your family and for every memory we shared. You are loved beyond words, and you will be missed beyond measure. I promise that your girls will always know who their daddy was, how deeply you loved them, and how proud you were to be their father.

We are grateful for the kindness from family, friends, neighbors, and strangers who have provided comfort in this time of loss.
