I was deeply saddened to hear of WD's passing!
He was ALWAYS one of my favorites when I subbed at NHS!I enjoyed so much our time in the parking lot each morning before school. He was always so positive and upbeat! He exemplified what a person should become in life! Such a caring, humble,friendly and compassionate soul!
My thoughts and prayers go out to the family at this most difficult time!
My God continue to surround you with His Peace and Love!

I loved seeing WD at CrossPointe Church every Sunday. Just recently he told me how excited he was to have his best friend, Logan Copley and Molly, back in town. He was always smiling and even our kids remember seeing him and speaking to him weekly. He had a light about him that was undeniable, it was Christ in Him. May his legacy live on and we know he has a new body and is made whole! We wish we had gotten the chance to know you better and you'll be missed, WD. Praying for his family during this time.

The only relationship I had with WD was to say "good morning" or "good afternoon" as we crossed paths outside the business school, day after day. All I recall was his friendly smile and many times a look of determination in those bright eyes.
Our deep condolences to his parents, to his family, and to his friends.

WD & I would laugh when he didn't get the angle right when he came into the Simon Schwob Memorial (main campus) doors electronic doors. He was a great person. I will miss him.

I didn't know WD very well, I mostly just saw him on the Downtown campus when I was there for classes. I only spoke with him once or twice. Even though I didn't know him very well, I can confidently say that he has make a huge imprint on my life. I will never forget how happy and bright he always seemed. Even on a bad day, just passing WD and seeing his smile or hearing pieces of his happy conversations with others could instantly make you feel happier. He was simply a light.
Though I try, I will never fully understand just why these things happen. Your family is in my prayers.

The reason Will and I met is because he seen me sad and distraught on the phone one day, and he came up to me just to see if I was okay and if there was anything he could do to help my situation. Ever since that day, a friendship was built. Will was one of the most kind-hearted people I've ever encountered. I am so grateful for our relationship and everything he taught me about being a true friend. Thank you for shining a light in me that I did not know was there. Thank you for your eternal support and talks. Thank you for being there.
