Publish in a newspaper
September 5, 2004 – July 17, 2025
It is with deep sorrow and immense love that we share the passing of William Edward Thomas Maki on July 17, 2025.
William was born on September 5, 2004, in Lyon, France, and was the cherished son of Jason and Christine Maki and beloved brother of Pauline Maki. He is also survived by his devoted grandparents, Tim and Lori Maki, and his beloved "Mamie." William was a treasured grandson, nephew, cousin, and friend whose presence brought joy, comfort, and inspiration to all who knew him.
More than anything, William was an extraordinary human being. His warmth, compassion, and boundless love for both people and animals touched countless lives. He had a way of lighting up every room with his energy, his infectious smile, and his genuine kindness. William lived with remarkable purpose and strength, showing courage and resilience through every challenge life placed before him.
William's legacy is one of love, strength, and compassion.
Though he will be deeply missed, he will also be fondly remembered for his perseverance-his positivity was an inspiration, reminding all of us to live each day to the fullest and with intention.
