William Scott Bredberg

Over a year and it does't get easier. Miss you each day my friend. Wish we could share one more laugh together, but I know you're looking out for all of us. I love you man.

Bonnie and the entire Bredberg and Baird Family, a sincere belated thoughts and prayers for the loss of Willy. All my
Love, Sue Hoeppner Cristiano -

We were landscapers in Bonnie´s Queen Anne garden, and needed some help for the summer.

She said "call my son"
And that how we met Willy.
He might have been 19 at that time. ( and only had dreams of being a Marine)

But no job was too hard, no job was too dirty! Except for the one time he ran into a bumblebee nest- and let out the biggest scream!
We all laughed and went back to work!

With his infectious smile, amazing work ethic, and joy for life- he made every day a fun day that summer!

Will was one of the most amazing marines I´ve met at Bangor. My family is extremely grateful to have been able to have him be a part of our family during his time at Bangor, WA.

Will went out of his way to support my college volunteer club at our Veterans Day event on Nov 11, 2019. He brought one of his buddies and volunteered his time to help give back and honor our local veterans. I am so thankful to have been able to capture some of those moments between him and the veterans.

Will understood the meaning of once a marine, always a marine. He befriended my grandfather who is a retired E-9 and made his world at the 2019 Marine Corps Ball. It´s very rare to see a photo of a marine smiling let alone a retired one. 2019 ball will be forever one I am grateful for not only for the happiness he brought to my grandparents but that I was able to meet both his mother and his wife!

Willy always said Okinawa was the nine best years of his career. Please share your stories.
