To William's family- I'm so sorry to have just learned of his passing. While at OU many of us were unsure if he had a first name - he was always Cayson.
Cayson shared a mod with me and several others during the '90-'91 year on South Green in Martzoff. He was a great neighbor- funny, engaging, supportive and brought a big brother maturity to a group of guys a few years his junior.
I'm so sorry for your loss and please know he is someone that will always be remembered with great affection.
Sincere condolences,
Matt Gavin

To the family,
I'm so sorry for your loss. At OU we called William "Cayson". Cayson use to come to our house and BBQ all the time while we were in college. He was a good man and a great friend. I can't believe it and I'm praying for you all!
