William H Little Jr.

William H. Little Jr., affectionately known as Wilt to his friends and family, passed away peacefully on February 19, 2026, at the age of 74, in Hamilton. Born on December 18, 1951, in Trenton, Wilt was a man whose warmth and kind spirit touched the lives of all who knew him.

Wilt's early years were spent in the loving company of his parents, Doris Nykinski and William Little Sr., as well as his brothers, Price and David Little, who predeceased him. His family was the cornerstone of his life, and he carried the values instilled in him throughout his journey.

For 25 years, Wilt dedicated his professional life to Kooltronics, where his commitment and work ethic were as unwavering as his cheerful disposition. His colleagues knew him as a man of integrity and kindness, traits that he also brought to his involvement with The Church of Christ. As a Wee nursery prekindergarten teacher's assistant, Wilt had a profound impact on the young lives he helped shape, bringing joy and learning to the classroom every day.

Wilt's love for life extended to his personal interests, which included an enduring love for classic rock music. His family fondly remembers the countless times he would play air guitar, his eyes twinkling with delight as he lost himself in the music. These moments of shared joy and laughter are cherished memories that will live on in the hearts of those he leaves behind.

Wilt is predeceased by his wife, Debra Little. He is survived by a loving family that includes his daughters, Monica Dunn and Christina Tidy; sons-in-law, Jason Dunn and Robert Tidy; and grandchildren, Kyleigh and Jackson Dunn, and Samantha and James Wilson. Wilt was also blessed to meet his great-grandson, Justin Wilson, whose young life will be guided by the wonderful stories of his great-grandfather's kindness, humor, and love.

Wilt's legacy is one of love, laughter, and the simple pleasures of life. His absence will be deeply felt by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. We take comfort in knowing that his spirit will continue to inspire us, just as the classic rock anthems he adored will forever echo in our memories. Wilt's life was a melody, a composition of moments and memories that, together, created a symphony of a life well-lived. We will miss him dearly, but we are grateful for the time we had with him and the love he shared with us all.
