Will Langmore Obituary
Will Langmore (Wilfred Bankart Langmore IV) was called home on March 27, 2019. Will was first and foremost a loving husband and father. Will had been married to Elizabeth LeFlore Langmore for 25 years and his greatest joy and accomplishment in life was their sixteen-year old son, Milo. Even within the special bonds of all fathers and sons, Will and Milo had an exceptionally close and loving relationship.
As one of San Antonio's most beloved and respected portrait photographers, Will touched thousands of lives in the greater San Antonio community. He first worked with his mother, Dorothy, in the renowned Langmore Studio and was later joined by his sister, Marie, in running the studio for more than thirty years. Will had an especially unique talent for capturing the innate joy of children, even those that hated having their portraits taken. As a result, Will's beautiful photography is treasured by countless generations of Texas families.
Will was universally known as a kind, gentle and compassionate soul. Those were his trademark characteristics. Will was also a gifted guitarist, cowboyed in his youth, was passionate about live music and hard rock, and he traveled the world with a particular love of Mexico. Will is survived by his sister, Marie, and his brother, John, the three of which were especially close. He is also survived by his father, Bank Langmore, and his beautiful wife, Elizabeth, and his wonderful son, Milo. Will will be deeply missed and the legacy of his loving life will live on in all those who knew him.
On Monday, April 1, 2019 from 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. he will lie in state at Porter Loring on McCullough.

The Langmores have been friends to our family for many years, starting with our oldest daughters' wedding. She even brought her sons back to San Antonio from Washington, D.C. for their portraits. She has had many friends admire the fine photography.

Both Will and Marie have taken such beautiful photos of our son Gage for the past twenty years. Every time I saw Will I expressed how much we loved all of his beautiful work. We often talked about my favorite ones of Gage, and he made you feel as if you were his only friend/client. He was so talented and such a kind person. Elizabeth an Marie we all are so sorry for your loss. He was loved by all and he will be missed by so many.

Bank and Dorthy Langmore raised three remarkable and distinctly individual children. I say children because they were so young when I first met them in Dallas in the early 1970's.
Will inherited his mother's gentle and easy going ways, and his father's exceptional way of seeing the world through photography.
In mystery we begin, and in mystery we end. May Will awake in radiance from his journey.

To Milo...this is Richard Castillo, your driving instructor with drivers ed.com... I have been receiving the newspaper all of my adult life and one thing I do without fail is to read the obituaries..this sunday, I saw your dads wonderful write-up, and even though I never had the privilege of meeting him, it is obvious that he was a very special person and an amazing man. Milo, on our brief encounters, during your driving lessons, I could see that you are an intelligent, mature and handsome young man who has your entire life ahead of you. Please live your life to it's fullest, just as your dad has done and please stay safe. it was an honor to have met you and your mother. Please accept my condolences, and May God Bless your Dad.

The world will not be the same without Will Langmore, a generous spirit and wonderfully intuitive intellect! I knew him from the days of the early Spurs Foundation and the David Robinson Foundation, when he and Dorothy would themselves come out to shoot our fundraising events and always were generous donors, too. I think of him with great fondness when I look at some of those gala photos as well as the best portraits ever taken of our two sons. May he rest in peace with our Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ.

Will's particular gift as a photographer went beyond capturing the lights and shadows in his portraits. He was able to draw out the essence of his subjects in a revealing and unselfconscious way. Will's beautiful portraits of our family never fail to capture the admiring eye of visitors to our home or give us joy when we walk by them every day. More than his many talents, however, we will always remember Will the person - an endearing soul, a charming friend and a man who loved his family. Our hearts go out to dear Elizabeth and Milo, who will forever hold a special place in our hearts. Sincere condolences to sweet sister Marie and her brother John. Sending love and feeling great sorrow for your loss.

It absolutely breaks my heart to have gotten this news today. Elizabeth and Milo, you are in my prayers. I lost my boyfriend of 2 years, Scott, last month. I know Scott had met Will at least once and like me, thought y'all were the nicest people. May God keep you both close to Him during this time. That is where I have gone to get me though this past month. I wish I could hug you both right now.
