Wilson Joseph "Willie" Mercado

I went to junior high with Wilson. I can tell you this.... noooobody messed with Wilson, and he was respected for this. I remember him as having an easy-going personality.

We were messaging back and forth through Classmates. I sent the last message but never heard back from him. I'm not pushy and I waited knowing we're all busy and have lives, but it had been a while so I thought I do an internet search with his name and sorry to have found his passing.

I don't say "Rest in Peace" because I believe we leave the body and become pure energy, keeping our essence and consciousness and memories and reunite with the light.

My condolences to his family and his close friends. I truly hope his last years were very good ones.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

I grew up with Willie in Dorchester. I am sad to hear of his passing.
I have an old photo of Willie with some of our Dot friends. Probably around 1969-1970. He will be missed.

I don't quite remember my first memory of Willie, but I remember all my memories as being safe and peaceful with Willie. Rest in peace Willie. XO

Loved him so much .. we had so many good times together and he was my rock so many times as I was his .. this life will not be the same without him

I remember you hanging out with Stevie Tewksbury back in our Dorchester days. My prayers are with you

Happy, careful, great personality, amazing uncle and much more. Family reunions, he always there to enjoy his family, I´ll never forget the nickname he gave me FEA....I LOVE U TIO, INTO WE SEE YOU AGAIN!!!

When I first met him or at least my latest memory of him. My family and I were traveling to go on a cruise and camp in the keys with cousins. One of our stops was to see Tio Wilson he let us swim in his pool and I remember him being so cool. I wish I had more memories of him but I´m grateful to have met him when I did.

I met Willie in the mid 70's In Dot where I was a DJ at the 1310. We became fast friends and shared an apartment together. Many great times together. We lost contact for many years until I recently found him on Facebook. We saw each other when he was up here in Boston for a wedding in October 22. So glad this happened. He was a good man and a solid friend. Rest well Willie. See you on the other side.
