Sending love and strength to those who knew Will best. I was on a team with Will at Yelp for a short time and I feel fortunate to have met him. He made such an impression on everyone and was a delight to be around. It´s hard to believe someone so full of life could be gone from ours.

Most people know Will as one of the most hilarious, Alabama-personified, and kindest folks ever. (All unquestionably true.) But for me, we generally had serious non-work conversations: relationships, the importance of family, being a father, and life. I shared with him my humanity; he did with his. Quite frankly, I never knew a Midwest city kid like myself would ever befriend a Southern dude who reminded me of a character from Talladega Nights.

He taught me a lot about prejudice, about how I needed to look at myself. He opened his home to me. Invited me for a crawfish boil. Offered me a place to rest my head. When our boss, Colleen Burns, passed, he always answered my calls if I needed to chat. We reconnected last August as my family moved from Dallas to New York City in Birmingham. (He insisted we do a selfie together, and I´m glad he did.) We chatted throughout the following months, and I wanted to see how I could help him find a new job to support his family. But the last time we spoke was in December. And I truly and deeply regret not being a better friend to keep up tabs with him. And I will live with that.

I love you, Will! Thank you for helping me grow as a man in so many ways. God speed.

Will was one of the nicest man I´ve had the pleasure of knowing. He was perfect in his role with Yelp. I´m sure he was welcomed by his ancestors. He will be missed.
