Bill Freeman, Business Mogul, Mayoral Candidate, Democrat Donor, Dead by Suicide

Bill Freeman
by Rod Williams, Nov. 18, 2024- It is shocking when someone who you feel like you know commits
suicide. Bill Freeman has been a fixture in the lives of Nashvillians for as long as I can remember. He was a major developer, served on board of various organization, was a major fundraiser for national, state, and local Democrat candidates, and was himself an unsuccessful candidate for mayor. 

Many years ago, when I worked at Metro Development and Housing Agency Freeman was either an official of the agency or a board member of MDHA. When I was a running for Metro Council the first time, I met with Freeman and solicited a campaign contribution. He has been in the news one way or another for the last forty-so years. 

Freeman committed suicide using a gun. He had suffered multiple strokes over the years and had never fully recovered. He was 73 years old.

Condolences to the family. RIP
