"Woogie," as William was known by his many friends, had a heart of gold. A beloved son, brother, nephew, uncle, cousin and friend, William's journey touched the lives of many. His generosity and kindness to others was common knowledge. All who knew William would attest that his greatest personal strength was to offer help to people who were down on their luck. The natural beauty of the great outdoors enriched his soul. William's strong beliefs in personal freedom supported and perpetuated his love of firearms. Loyalty and love for his family was an enduring quality which sustained William through his life.
William was born in Bristol, Tn. but was a lifelong resident of Coeburn, Va. William graduated from Coeburn High School in 2007. Continuing his education, William earned an associate degree from MECC and studied at UVA-Wise. H & K Rentals was co-owned and managed by William and his parents.
