William Carson Obituary

INTERLAKEN - William Michael Carson, age 17, passed away tragically on September 23, 2025.

Born October 11, 2007, Will was a beloved son, an adoring brother and a devoted friend. He leaves behind him a hole in this world that his family and friends will feel for a lifetime. Will was a young man at his passing, his future cut short before he could even begin to live out his dreams. Will's light shone brightly from the moment he was born. When Will was a boy, (he went by Liam back then) it was obvious to all that he was smart, creative, tenacious and brave. His sweet, kind heart made him easy to befriend and love. He was the first one running into the fray, his bravery surpassing any fear. He was the first of his siblings to need stitches and the last to cry. His boyhood courage followed him as he grew into a young man, he graduated Class of 2025 from South Seneca. He excelled in his auto body classes in school, he talked of being a barber and he had hoped to begin a career at Wegmans and work his way up when he turned 18. A born engineer, inventor, adventurer, horror movie enthusiast and artist. Will was the one his family turned to when something needed fixing, he had a knack for making things work. He curated his own original Lego sets. He made recycled phone cases and bracelets, which he shared with his friends. His adventurous spirit kept him busy, skateboarding and biking. He'd watched every horror movie he could find and was always searching for more. His ideas for his future shone as brightly as his heart. He wanted so much from this life and was worthy of so much more.

William leaves behind his mother Jennifer Tillack and stepfather Andrew Butler; his two brother's, Dom and Oliver; his three sisters, Alayna, Lucy and Bella; his father Justin Carson, and a battalion of beloved friends that cared for him.
