BAY MINETTE, Ala. — Funeral services are slated Saturday for a Bay Minette man who died April 30 when the lawnmower he was riding fell on top of him.

Baldwin County Coroner James Small said William Fontaine, 66, was working as a landscape contractor in Montrose when he lost control of the lawnmower on a slope.

“He apparently went over an embankment and the lawnmower landed on top of him,” Small said.

Fontaine served as an associate minister at Union Baptist Church and was one of the sponsors of Youth in Christ.

He served as a missionary to Cuba numerous times where he delivered medical texts and supplies.

Services will be Saturday at 11 a.m. at Union Baptist Church, 955 Carrol Ave., Bay Minette. Viewing will be from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the church.
