After graduating from Bartlett High School in 1997, he went on to start a painting business which he ran for 10 years. He was inspired to become an EMT and later a paramedic and began a career with the Memphis Fire Department in 2008. This was a source of deep personal pride for him and brought him immense feelings of satisfaction and accomplishment. In 1998, Will met Dena Clark and they later married. In 2000, they celebrated the birth of their daughter Madison Claire, and have now welcomed two grandchildren, Abel and Jonah. Will is survived by his daughter, Madison and her mother Dena, his parents Mark and Donna, his sister Rebecca, and his grandsons Abel and Jonah. He also leaves behind many aunts, uncles, cousins, colleagues, and friends. Will was kind, generous, and had a great sense of humor.
