David Wills Obituary

David Jackson Wills passed peacefully on January 24, 2023 at the age of 55. He grew up in Memphis, Tennessee, then fell in love with New Orleans where he lived for 25 years before settling in Magnolia, Mississippi during his final years. He was an extraordinary man with seemingly endless energy. He will be remembered by his thoughtfulness, his generosity, and his great sense of humor which was often on full display. He was exceptionally proud of his business successes and was always on the lookout for new ventures. As an avid music enthusiast, his latest project was a recording studio and music hall in Magnolia. Most of all, David's enduring legacy resides in his two sons, of whom he was very proud. David is survived by sons, Luke, and Adam Wills; parents, Glenda Jackson Wills and Michael Harries Wills; niece, Clarisse Aasgaard; nephews, Shane, Brian, and Evan Manthei; and many devoted relatives and friends. A celebration of his life will be held at Schoen Funeral Home on February 4, 2023. Visitation will begin at 1:00p.m. until Funeral Service at 2:00 p.m.
