Stewart "Willy" William Heitzman

January 7, 1958 - May 6, 2022

STEWART “WILLY” WILLIAM HEITZMAN, 64, of Louisville passed on Oaks Friday, May 6th in his home surrounded by family. Willy is a Louisville native and grew up in the Highlands graduating from Atherton High School in 1976. He spent many years in the cable industry and worked as a project manager for Conexon. Willy was loved deeply by his grandchildren who knew him as Poppy. He was a lifetime Louisville Cardinals fan and sports fanatic. Willy enjoyed spending his time betting the races, playing golf, and sharing laughs with his friends and family. He was the life of the party wherever he went. He is preceded in death by his parents Lewis and Ann Heitzman and brother Rusty Heitzman. Left to cherish his memory are his children Mike Heitzman (Amy), Ayla Roberts (Maxwell), and James Baunach; his lifetime partner Cathryn “Moe” Baunach; two grandchildren, Lola and Fritz Roberts; brother Lewis Heitzman; sisters Sandy Plattsmier (Terry), and Lee Ann O’Bryan; nieces Ashley O’Bryan and Tamara Plattsmier; and nephew Brad Plattsmier. A celebration of life will be held in the Oaks Room at Churchill Downs on Thursday, May 19th from 3:00pm-5:00pm followed by a night at the races. Due to limited space at Churchill, please RSVP with Mike Heitzman at 859-967-9913. In lieu of flowers, expressions of sympathy may be made to the Colon Cancer Prevention Project.
