Anyone who knew Will knew of his bright smile, his intense hugs, and awesome laugh. We loved talking to him about his life, his job, and of course, his mama, whom he loved very much. He had the biggest heart out of anyone we knew. We will miss seeing him over the fence - but his smile, that laugh, and those hugs made an everlasting impression on our hearts. We will never forget you, Will. Ever.

There are no words or deeds that can comfort Will's family or anyone that knew Will. His tragic passing is incomprehensible. He was the sweetest young man I have ever known. His smile was contagious. Will, thank you for your service to this country. You have made us all proud. Well done. Rest easy my "little bro". I love you and always will. God bless you and your family.

What a loss, what a tragedy !! Words cannot begin to express my grief for his family, particularly for parents. I wish I were there to lend support and comfort, but, like everyone else, I feel so helpless. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers and that I will always remember this fine young man.
