In addition, he Will also be missed by extended family including, Lira, Eljin, Leonardo Jr., Leilani and Shin, furthermore, his many nieces and nephews and godson.

Will was a heavy equipment maintenance specialist in the U.S. Army, a retired teamster, local 278, an active member of the Temple Baptist Church and an avid Oakland A's and Raiders fan. He had a lifelong passion for rock and roll. Will loved people! From the homeless in the park, to the baristas in Starbucks, the bakery workers at Safeway and even those passing him on the street he made a connection.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, January 4th, at 1 PM, at the Temple Baptist Church located at 3355 19th Ave, San Francisco. In Lieu of flowers the family requests donations be made to Hospice By The Bay in Marin County.
