William Arthur Palmer, AKA, Big Will, aged 54 of Dayton, Ohio passed away unexpectedly but peacefully on Saturday, April 27, 2024. Will was born in Palestine, Texas on October 25, 1969, to Gloria A. Palmer. He was her first-born son and he is preceded in death by his brother, Brenton Palmer (1985). He is survived by his mother, Gloria Thomas, sister, Rachael (James) Clinkscale, brother, Brian McNichols and his beloved cat, Paw Paw. Big Will was quite the comedian who loved to laugh and make others laugh. He also enjoyed cooking and eating his mother's exceptional meals. He loved animals and he owned and tenderly cared for a variety of them. However, his most cherished love was his family, he was very devoted to them, immensely protective, and he especially looked forward to family gatherings. His family and friends will dearly miss him and look forward to see him again in the resurrection of life promised by Our Lord, Christ Jesus (John 5:28,29 and Acts 24:15). Visitation will be from 10 a.m - 11 a.m and immediately followed by the Memorial Talk on Saturday, May 4, 2024 at Newcomer - North Dayton Chapel located at 4104 Needmore Road Dayton, Ohio 45424.
