In all things WE are more then conquerors, through him that loved us nothing can seperate us from the LUV of God.(Romans 8:37) William I want to thank God for your life, thx him for the opportunity to write this msg to you. Thx him for our Beautiful children and the up bringing of them w/God grace & mercy, and your spiritual guidance. Will no words can express our love for you & as they say you never miss one to their gone. I'm trying to hold back the tears for now but i can't of course. I can often here you call my name and recall your smile. Me & the kids kind of hold each other up when one fall then we all find ourselves crying together. Will I often laugh at your son who has taken your ridding pants down off the wall to ride his dirt bike in. Or when your twin (Akyia) is dressed up acting crazy as you would. Never understood the love a son has for his father, he is angry this I know but joy comes in the morng. It's so hard to say Goodbye and this is why we travel 38 weekends since your passing to just love on you. We could go anywhere but would rather weather the storm to be at your resting place giving you praise. Tre has Preached his intial sermon already so he's answered his higher calling Amen. Our boy is going to make you a proud "Daddy" is strength comes from you. Kyia is the BEST she talks to us about and is never weak about anything and I praise god for that because someone has to be strong. Jack Happy B-day to you and i will see you soon. There is a light at the end and for now keep shinning to we meet again for you are My Bestfriend Luv Always Michelle A.k.a Junk

As i prepare to type what our son had written while being alone with his sister "Ms. Akyia" last night.
Hey Daddy, I luv U this is your son Tre, and i miss U so much daddy, why did u have to leave me. Daddy i cry because i want to see u & i can't. Daddy u told me u luv me & you where on ur way to meet me after my baseball practice. Daddy u told me to put my seat belt on and listen to mommy & that u see us in a minute. Daddy i pray for you every night & ma keep telling us your shinning down on us. Daddy i want u now & i miss coming to see u at work (pepboys) where we worked at together. daddy i stop working there at pepboys when u left but i'm going back some day. No you will not tre (kyia) remember how i use to get you stuff and bring it to u in the shop. Daddy remember when i would roll the tires, help u & Mr. Austin clean the shop, yall would pay me when i got done. daddy when i would go with u somewhere u say tre when u see a good looking girl, wink my eye at them and i would wink both of them. Daddy u always said man "tre" u are a mom & dad's boy cause ur mama can't have u to herself. Watch it Jack (Michelle) Daddy i still talk to u & guess what i have ur motorcycle pants, Thanks Tye (Michelle) daddy i put them on and then we hang them on the wall in my room we even got a keepsake box to store the few item we received. Daddy thanks for making me laugh when i was sad. Daddy i don't want to play sports anymore. He most certainly will (Michelle) William he has another fight coming up in July remember he was happy the first time couldn't wait to show off his moves to u & Uncle Wes. Now he said ma, i don't want to fight cause dad wont be there to see me. So i ask that u speak to him Because we always said he was going to Box, go to NFL,NBA & now that u wanted tre to play Baseball i'm not sure. Tre ask what was he going to do for Father's Day. Told him he's walking in your footsteps now so we will celebrate your day through him the son, Talk to you later daddy R.I.P (tre) in Jesus Name Amen. That was cute coming from your lil boy lord only knows it had to be hard for him has it was for me to read this "praise God", Dealing with the pain they have suffer on daily basis. Please visit them William in spirit let them fill your present in this place amen. Have your way with them Jack, Your Baby Girl will write later. We ask GOD to bless us all, because if it wasn't for having him where would we be. Tre said he wants u to no he has a myspace page & he will put ur pics up there daddy. We luv U see you later William,

hey JAk,
You know I miss you alot and it's really hard but I'm trying. The kids and Michelle is doing fine, you know Jak the kids are strong and you know they have there moments but the most thing that hurt me at times is when Tre have his moments because it hurts and to see it hurts even worst because there's nothing that can bring his daddy back and that part is really hard. You know the other day he had his moment and I don't know if he actually see you but he try to run and we all are scared he may hurt his self buy just trying to pick up and run during that time I went and got some of your stuff and guess what your son has your biker pants and it took some hours before he would take them off and get this they come up to his chin but the kids loved it they kept kissing me and hugging me telling me they love me and your belongings mean so much to them they even took you dirty lil underwear (what they going to do with them I don't know- LOL) but they loved every lil piece and you don't know how much that made me so so HAPPY! You know Jak I try so hard to be strong and kyia always tell me we strong all I can do is laugh and wipe my tears. But Michelle is holding up and I spoke with Lamont his doing good but you know we all have our days and moments where we just can't hold the tears back, so please watch over us and I ask god to give us all the strength because only lord knows it's hard!
Will I'm sitting here smiling and laughing because I know you still reading Michelle long story cuz it took 2 weeks to finish reading what she wrote you know that girl can write a book. LOL
I'm trying not to write took much more than her so it would take you no time to read this and I'm upset with you you only saw pictures of the baby! Will I luv you always again like Michelle said you will never be for gotten.

PS- you know the other day I accidently text you about a tattoo and I didn't realize it until it was done and get this you know who got another tat kyia said you know it's something behind that aunt tye I bust out laughing!

Luv u and best wishes

William it's been almost 3 wks now since you parted from us. Will I cant began to express how I'm feeling at this time just know that my heart is hurting. For some reason I can't stop crying at least not for now I ask "God" why and he said continue crying. Will u were my everything the gd, part about it was everyone knew it. You came in to my life when I was 17yrs old we worked @ Wards and from there we grew you waited till I turned 18 then came gods greatest gift our baby girl. Then 2yrs later blessing 2 our son was born. We always said folks never understood our relationship, and how we could hang out, see others, work together, have family time, party etc. Will what I'm going to miss the most is your smile, when I walk in the Rm u would light up. U would always greet me with a "smile" and the word "Junk" I know it will live on because you passed it on to John, Wes, Marcus and I could go on. Will our son shared with people that you told him how I got that name. Well sure wish he could have shared it with me long before now but he said it was a secret between him & daddy. Didn't no Tre kept secrets from mommy that's new too, so I will deal with you later lol. When I began to think on your Life Wow! Recently called u and said Will I need another Gucci bag, u said "Junk" how much is it and I said what does the price have to do with it. Will said u better be lucky I Luvs U, cuz I gave you a JOB, so you can afford to buy your own. Then he call me and ask what was I doing after work I said hanging out at fish market for a friend B-day gathering. Will said you didn't call me so I said you want to come he said H*ll Yeah I'll be your date "Junk" and he had a ball making plans for later talking about he was driving me home. Well needless to say I had 1 to many drinks, I drop him off and god got me home Amen. Well Sinko Demayo, he invited me to come along to his spot (TGI Fri) it was me, john, lett they got me so twisted Jak said I got you all night 'Junk" introducing me to bartenders, well the next day I had to be at my job (day) sick as a dog my boss said you can not go home either. Then Jak said "junk" I need you to come to work when you leave day job man was I fired up. Well mother's day you called me and said "Junk" come over Mont's house for brunch, I said no got plans going to church, and taking my mom out. Jak said I want to take you out Akyia said let me speak to dad. She said dad we want to take mom to outback he said no it's not about yall I'm taking her to (TGI Fri) kids can't come. Well I meet him and Tally, Lisa up there and I said I'm hungry will he said order whatever you want. I said give me a Gingerel they look at me like I lost my mine so they ordering drinks for me. Well Jak puts me on the spot in front of everyone he goes "Junk" we need to get back together I'm like what, are you serious quit playing with me. Tally like yep, will like I been thinking we could have so much the kids, would be happy to have daddy around. So I said yeah when we get to work lol, he 's like "junk" I will go and buy a ring like ASAP tally& Lisa like give him a second chance. So I'm saying lord I've been set up they ordering shots trying to get me to say yes. Then he went to tell them that I was stubborn he's like "Junk" you no Renee and his father would be happy I said you had your second chance when our son was born. They all reply that don't count give one more so I answered NO. It was pouring raining that day he said go home a sleep on it alright fine. Well we leaving I had to drop him off at his house he said I Luvs U "Junk" I said likewise he U should stay over here. Don’t want you driving like that I said I'm fine call me on the phone while I drive home then first time in 8 yrs this cat kisses me on my lips. So everybody know how I react I said what was that about get out my car he smiled and said you know I'm a changed man. I said and a confused one because u just told our daughter you was thinking of moving away and we was not happy but we was going to support your decision. Get to work the next day in front of everybody he's like I ask her for another chance yall, so he's like what's your answer "Junk" I said what about your relationship's) he's like what about them. Let me just my answer is Yes, and so you go and prepare a place for me and when I get there you open the gates for me. Will greet me with that smile and we are going to say I Do for sure. Continue to watch over me as I travel each day, guide our children in the direction in which you would want them to go. Cover us with the blood of Jesus in Jesus name amen. Will it wont be easy for us, and you will never be forgotten that's my promise to you and them and certainly God. The lord had plans for our life I can say that I so I give all the glory & praise to him. You called me on that tragic day cuz there was something that was troubling you we talked about it you was hurt so was I then I made a phone call to a hirer up WES lol. Told him I was upset with will problems ask him if would call, well I took Tre to practice will said meet me I replied yes. So we was on our way to meet each other so that I will hold close to my heart. Our son said the devil is responsible I agree each day gets no better for him he wants nothing more but to be with daddy. Will send me some answers he have a fight coming up he wants know part of it. His baseball that you told me to let him play he wants any involvement you’re his angle speak to him. Our baby girl man she strong and a woman of God you speak through her everyday. Sometimes I have to be like kyia where did that come from then she say nobody knows my daddy like I do so that's deep. But lately she been going through it and I am going to be there for them you have my word never will I turn my back on them. Jak I'm going to be the Best Mommy & Daddy to them that I can be and they got wonderful people in their life that love them all your boys became Uncles to them you started that which is fine. All my friends was Ms. & Mr. but they all call them Auntie, your dad said god left the kids him to carry out your fatherly duties. Also kyia ask uncle wes if she still had to wait till she turns 30 to get a boyfriend. He said that's what daddy always said but once she graduated from medical school she could lol, keep your eye on her. She said uncle wes who said I was going to medical school I told daddy I wanted to be a singer. Yeah right in children ministry lol. So I Luvs U even though I was yo baby mama, we will still come and clean, dance, praise, worship, reorganize, chill with u around your resting site. As we did this past Sunday we had a ball for 2 hrs till our son did not want to part. Sorry for all the memories we will meet again love always, Michelle a.k.a "Junk"

With my deepest sympathy... my condolences to the family and friends of Will. I did not know him as well as many others - our brief conversations at Fridays were a sure-fire indication of his character. He will be missed.

May 28, 2008

Hey Jak!
you know this is really hard for me to even write but I really miss your big head and you know something Will? I don't know how to even begin...
My prayers goes out to the kids and family and yes, you know the kids are in VERY good hands and I want you to keep a eye on Michelle and to guide her through this as you know it's hard not saying that she can't do it because she can! She just need the strength, you know Jak I've known you for over 10 years and the funny thing is that when we met as much as you talked about your kids for the first 5 years I did not know that Michelle was your kids mother until that day at Pepboys Kyia came a pointed me out to Michelle and the whole time Michelle and I grew up together as you say "it is a SMALL world" and I do agree. I was friends with the both of you and never once did it cross my mind you were talking about Michelle but it's funny how god works.
you know when I look at kyia all I see is you and you know she is a daddy's girl, even though Tre is a mommas boy he is all for daddy (Jak he looks up to u) and from the first time we took the kids out they was already little grown people and it shocked us both when they was all trying to write checks for our McDonald's food and yes kyia is a little lady she even had to call and talk to me over the phone and it was all so shocking with the words of encouragement coming from her as a 9 year old and yes, big head I cried, I know I'm soft (but only for the kids) LOL! I know you going to miss my phone calls and now that I can't call you All the calls going straight to JOHN! yes JOHN you even when I don't want nothing. Just know that I'm going to continue to be there for the kids and Michelle with lots of love, I am really going
to miss you Blak JAk!!!
I keep telling myself God have plans for each and everyone of us.
Continued Prayers and blessings goes out to family and friends.

PS- I'm not going to fill up your book just yet as you know I have alot in this brain of mine. You know what I mean! LOL

I did not personally know William, but I’m a witness that over the past year he was on a mission from Christ improving his personal relationship with his daughter, son , and children’s mother Michelle ; taking it to a more positive and spiritual level. It was wonderful to hear them communicate daily discussing and agreeing on what they must do to improve the quality of life for their children. They discussed school, birthday parties, disciplinary issues, little league sport events, special events, church, or just how they should spend quality time with the kids. They were headed in a positive direction but god decided that his time on earth was over because he needed him for a higher calling in heaven to be at his side to watch over them. The things that William and Michelle accomplished over the past year established a solid foundation for Michelle‘s family and his family to carry on and create a fulfilling life for his children. To Williams’s biker’s friends now you have a friend in heaven riding with God watching over you.
God Bless

I met William through a friend.To the family an friends when some one close to us dies we need a long period of time to work through our grief.Crying and sharing our feelings with others helps us recover and go on with life.Allow yourself and others the freedom to grieve over the lost of a loved one and give yourself time enough to bring grieving to completion.I lost someone special March of this year i feel your pain.

I only knew Jak for a short period of time (thru Francis), but during that time he always had a smile on his face or was cracking a joke. To the family, I thought these words were very fitting and may God continue to bless & keep you during this difficult time.......

"To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me."

Not this time.

William was introduced without the "but", and I knew he was special.

To the family of Little Willaim:
We would like to express our heartfelt sympathies in your time of loss. I know that it seems like the pain is endless and the nights neverending, but God heals all pain in time. So those tears that seem to never dry, although painful, are much needed right now. If there is anything at all that we can do to lend a helping hand please remember we are just a phone call away. God mends all shattered hearts.

To My Dearest Jak,
I thank the good Lord for the sunshine in your eyes and for the happiness in the smile you always shined on me. I thank him for giving me your hand to hold when I needed it and for your sweetness in a world that sometimes isn't so sweet. The Lord knew what He was doing when He put our hearts together. Last but not least I thank him for the precious love that we shared.

I miss you so much. I can not believe that you are not here physically with me. You were my Angel on earth and now you are my Angel in heaven. I thank you so much for allowing me to love you, for showing me that a man can be a real man and love his women and for just being my freind.

This is not a goodbye but a see you later..dont worry all our plans, hopes, dreams and desires will not fade from my heart or memory.

I love you and miss you!

Ms. Chase/Mr. Jackson, Sr./Renee/Van/Lamont -

I wanted to write and tell you how sorry I am for your loss. There never seem to be the right words to express how deeply saddened I am that we have to endure this loss. William will be truly missed by everyone who knew him no matter where they may have crossed his path in life.

William was a giver, never a taker. He was always there to help no matter how busy he was; no matter the time of day; and, never asking or needing anything in return. Friends like William are few in life and it is with a heavy heart that I also grieve. Memories of our times together, regardless of where we were or what we were doing will be forever held dear to me.

Jak--Words can't begin to express how we feel; you were always the sweetest person with the warmest heart. You also had the brightest smile, the best James Brown impersonation, and loved the Steelers! Who could top that? You will live forever in our hearts!!!!! To the family - We're praying for you and pray that you will find comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel watching over you.

Jak,
You were one of a kind and one of the sweetest and most kindhearted individuals I know. Everytime I saw you, you would give me huge hug and then ask "where is Mike" lol...Your smile would brighten up the whole room. I'm glad I had the chance to get to know you and share many many laughs and good times with you. The thing I will remember the most is at every family & friends get together you would always start talking in the "medieval times" voice. Ever since you went there for your birthday. I laugh just thinkin about it. You will truly truly be missed. See ya again one day. To the family, my heart goes out to all of you, Mike and myself will be here for whatever you need.

Jak....I just wanted you to know that you will sincerely be missed! Wednesday nights at Friday's will NOT be the same; honestly, I don't even know if I can go on the inside for a good while, for knowing that I will not be waving at you in your normal corner! One thing is for sure, you're smile and warm caring heart was definitely felt here on earth and I know that your family and friends will have that most, along with the fond memories that will help carry them through this rough time!

You are gone, yes, but not forgotten! Your legacy will continue on, through your children.....so until we meet on the other side! Keep smiling and see yah soon!

We will most DEFINITELY rep it for our MC Brother on 2's tomorrow....*still sad* but I know, realize, and understand that you are in a far better place then here!

Peace and Love to You!

To the family, friends, and club members of Triple Threat, you have my deepest condolence for the loss of your loved one! Keep your head up—Jak is smiling as speak, right above you!

To the Family and Love Ones of Will: WOW!! I'm sorry for your lost. My thoughts and Prayers are with the family. Will is in a better place, he actually have a great view to watch over you all especially Akyia and Tre. Michelle is a wonderful mother and a strong woman, Will knows he left his two jewels in great hands. He will always be at his kid’s side. His work here was done; it was time for Will to go home to be with the Lord. No More Tears, he is closer to you now then he's been before. You will see him again.

Lt. William,

I don't know how to express how much I hurt inside because you have been taken away from us. I don't know how to comfort my children and get them through because of the pain that I feel and the pain that they are feeling. You were the sweetest nephew, and I can hear you calling out my name.

We will miss that enormous smile of yours and the happiness that you brought to our family.

Love always and forever.
