Willie was a sweet young man. He was more like a son than son in law. He is greatly missed.

Willie was a wonderful son in law and a great friend. He was always smiling and happy to lend a helping hand. I feel like Willie was a son to me and will miss seeing his smiling face very much. I know that he is with Jesus now and has found peace. I pray that Wanda, Jeannette and Jon will be comforted in knowing that Willie is where he can not be hurt anymore. This is only the comfort that God can and will give you. Our love for Willie will never end. Much Love, Phil and Jeannine

I only met Will a couple of months ago. He came to my home for dinner with my cousin and I was also fortunate enough to be around him on a few other occasions. He was a kind and caring person. You could tell just by talking to him. I didn't know him as well as some, but I will regret for a long time that I didn't get the chance to know this young man better. His family is in my thoughts and prayers. RIP Will!!

I'm so sorry that I never got to meet Will but I have heard lots about him from his biological father who loved his son very much. Will was taken away in the young years of his life but he will be in a better place now with the Lord. My prayers are with all of you.

I am so glad I had the opportunity to meet Willie. I just met him on the July 4th holiday. He was a wonderful young man. I could see during the short time we visited that he had a heart of gold. RIP sweet Willie! You are with our Lord now!

I was so saddened to see the news in the paper today. I remember Willie well as a student in music classes at PGE. I hadn't seen him since he went to middle school, but I know he was a thoughtful and caring young man. My prayers are with his family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your families during your time of grief. May all of your memories of Willie bring you some comfort. Willie was a good friend and I'm glad we got to know him. He always loved to joke around but he knew how to be serious when need be. We will always be "DAWGS". It was an honor to know him and call him a friend.
