He was preceded in death by his grandmother, Nancy. William graduated Cum Laude from Dublin Scioto High School where he participated in cross-country, track, theater and German Club. He was interested in theater tech, blacksmithing, physics and engineering, and had planned to attend Columbus State in the fall. He enjoyed reading manga, building things with his hands and was learning tae kwon do. William was a very sensitive and intelligent young man who loved animals, especially cats.

Your son was a student on my school bus for the last four years. He was kind, smart and had a really fantastic sense of humor. I will never forget the day he wore a Viking Helmet and on another day a Kimono for a school project. He was fearless. The image that has always been burned into my memory of him,is when he was running late coming to the bus stop in the morning. He would start running, his long hair flying in the wind and his trench coat floating. He reminded me of a Superhero taking off for flight. I will never forget you Will for as long as I live.
