It is hard to think of Ferrum without thinking of Will or "Frog". I am praying for the family. Will is missed greatly! Will was an awesome friend and person, the world is at a lost without him but heaven has had a great gain!

Will was my friend. The kindest most giving person I have had the pleasure of knowing. He will be missed greatly by myself and everyone who were lucky enough to have known him. Will has found a warm spot in my memories and will make me smile for years to come.

I did not know Will, but his father, Mr. Pettus was a teacher of mine in High School and was still there at RHS when both of my girls were there. I am so sorry Mr. Pettus. I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Will was truly an example of living well by loving others. If only we could all be as big-hearted as he was. Missing that smile already, Will!
