Will,

I keep coming back to this page hoping it was all just a dream. You were one of the kindest individuals Ashley and I have ever known. It saddens me that we had plans to meet up this August for the first time in person. I know we would have had a lot of fun. You were always supportive of us, and always were an amazingly cheerful spirit. You will be missed more than you know.

Sorry for your loss. I only learned of this today. And am in complete shock. I never met Will in person merely spoke to him online and considered him a friend.
So many good laughs and times.

I remember Will from Good Shepherd in Joppatowne. He was so full of energy. He and my son, Matt were in preschool together many years ago. Last summer Will came into where I worked and remembered me from that long ago. He was a sweet, sweet boy. I am so sorry for your loss.

To Dawn, Mr. & Mrs. LaRue and Family: we extend our deepest condolences, and we are praying for you all. We lived next door to Will and Dawn. We never got to know him very well, but each time we saw him he was always very kind and had a gentle spirit. We are so very sorry for this sudden and tragic loss. Having been through the sudden death of our first born child, our son, we have intimate understanding of where you are right now. If you haven't had to bury a child, you truly have NO idea. Please take things one day at time, and please know that you are NEVER alone. God is real and He cares. Seek His comfort and peace and reach out to your family and friends. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.

I am truly shocked and deeply saddened by the news of Will's passing. I will fondly remember our self-proclaimed nicknames throughout elementary and middle school, "Smurf" & Smurfette", since we were the 2 smallest kiddos in our grade level. He was every girl's first crush... his laughter, comical personality, and boyish good looks made him one of the most popular kids in school. I am so grateful that we were able to re-connect last summer after so many years had passed. I got to know him all over again, and cherish the time we spent together. You will be deeply missed. My thoughts are with his family and friends during this extremely sad time.

We are so saddened about the loss of Will. He had such a kind soul and his humor was by far the best... Every time we were around Will, we knew there would be lots of fun and laughter! He always showed our daughter Katelyn lots of attention and genuinely enjoyed playing with her.... He truly captured her heart!
We are so glad to have been introduced to Will through Jason and Jackie... He was such an awesome person and we consider ourselves lucky to call him our friend. He will truly be missed by all ??

I worked with Will at Transamerica. I loved his stories about his cats, and his great recipes, especially his barbecue ribs. He was always so kind and thoughtful with a wonderful engaging smile. He will be so missed. There are no words...., but I am so glad to have known Will.

Will it is hard to accept that you are gone. Kind, caring, loving, creative and ridiculously funny is how I have always remembered you to be, and I can see from everyone's posts and comments that you hadn't changed a bit from the guy I knew 18 years ago. We met the summer before our senior year of high school and I've always spoke of you as my high school sweetheart. You were the first boy I ever loved. We had so much fun and so many good times together. To this day I can't hear Wu-Tang or Notorious BIG without thinking of you. I have not and will never forget you. My prayers are with you and your loved ones. Rest in Peace Will.

I worked with Will @ Transamerica for a few years - he had my back. Truely, as Becky stated before me - he was Mr. Personality. He was always smiling and always greeted me with a big hug. I was so sorry to hear of the loss of your loved one. I'm returning a hug from afar...

I have no words to express my sadness and heartbreak. Will made me laugh and smile each time I saw him and my life was better with him in it. He was certainly loved and will be missed. He had the looks, charm and humor to do anything he wanted in this life. I pray he is at peace and enjoying the other side. My thoughts and prayers are with his family at this very difficult time.

Will, you made a huge impression on our family. You were so funny, thoughtful, and goofy, you made all of us laugh. We will never forget you and your silliness. You made a huge impact on Heather. I know she will miss you. She has wonderful memories. Our family loved your great cooking especially the Caesar Salad (I know Olivia and Ben enjoyed it a lot) and the B-bar-cue Ribs. We know for sure Heaven gained another Angel and now it is time for Heaven to experience the great person you are. Make them laugh Will. You will never be forgotten. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. God Bless You Will.
Love,

I cannot find the words for me to say but my wife and I were blessed to have known you. I know that we will miss your wonderful sense of humor and outgoing personality. When times were tough, You were always there as a friend. People like you make this world better and it heartbreaking that he is no longer here. I've known you for over 5 of years but I felt like it was my whole life. I will always remember you brother and I know you will always be looking out for us. love ya bro.
