Mr. Detyens was born in Georgetown, S.C., a son of Sally Maria Cox and Hasford Walker Detyens. He attended Murray Vocational High School in Charleston and received an honorary doctor of humanities degree from Charleston Southern University in 1982.
As a developer, Detyens is probably best remembered as a partner in the construction of Dockside Condominiums on the site of the former Jacksonville Shipyard on the Cooper River in 1956. As Chairman of the Board he guided the shipyard from its birth with two employees in a tiny shack on Laurens Street to the present Wando River facility with over 500 employees before selling the business in 1982.
He was also the developer of Mount Pleasant Memorial Gardens. For his leadership and ethical conduct in business, he was inducted into the South Carolina Business Hall of Fame in 1995.
Bill Detyens' activities as a philanthropist are manifold. In 1972, he was a founder of Trident Academy in Mount Pleasant, established for children with learning disabilities. His support of local churches included donations of land and financial support to St. Paul's AME Church in Wando, Wando Baptist Church, First Baptist Church of Charleston, and the Charleston Baptist Association Seaman's Ministry. As a member of the Foundation for the Preservation of Historic Charleston in the Diocese of South Carolina, he was instrumental in the renovation of the chapels of St. Thomas and St. Denis and Pompion Hill in Berkeley County. He actively supported education in the community through generous financial support of First Baptist Church School, Ashley Hall, Bishop England, Miss Mason's School, Porter Gaud, the College of Charleston, the Medical University of South Carolina and Charleston Southern University. In 1995, Detyens endowed a four-year scholarship in his name at The Citadel. He also helped to establish the Ronald McDonald House in Charleston as well as supporting the Roper Hospital Endowment and the Trident Community Foundation.
An avid sportsman, Detyens enjoyed fox hunting in addition to hunting and fishing throughout the world. Perhaps best known as a competitive blue water sailor, he participated for many years in the prestigious Southern Ocean Racing Circuit at the helm of his boat, Wando Lady. Detyens was an organizer of the Charleston Ocean Racing Association, which promoted offshore racing in the southeast. He was a member of the Hibernian Society, The Elk's Club, the Hobcaw Yacht Club, the Carolina Yacht Club, the Coral Reef Yacht Club of Miami, Green Turtle Yacht Club, Bahamas, the North American Yacht Racing Association, the Propeller Club, the Charleston Maritime Association, the Navy League, and Ducks Unlimited.

Detyens, II of Mount Pleasant, three daughters, Judy Ann Stewart of Mount Pleasant, Margaret Ann Lamb of Cobbtown, Georgia, Mary Alice Lambrakos of Mount Pleasant, three step-children, Marilyn S. Vierra of Mount Pleasant, James H. Small, Jr., of Isle of Palms, S.C., Zan S. Walter of Tampa, Florida, 15 grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren.
