his amazing smile and his attention to people.

He was the kindest kid that I’ve ever met.

He is loved!

He will be missed, but God loved him best."

"My fondest memory of Will was Mexico

in September 2020.

We sailed across the ocean with strangers,

and he took the mic and sang

in front of everyone.

Although they didn’t speak English,

they loved him!"

Justin

"We went to Texas and spent the night

at Uncle Mike’s and Auntie Gerry’s.

The five of us grandkids had a dance party,

then we worked out, and afterward

had a dance party right before bed."

John V.

"I remember going to the church play

in the East, going to homecoming in 2009,

and all the moments

in the BFHS band room talking

rather than playing instruments."

During senior year, me, Will, and Dominique, left to go get free pancakes on International Pancake Day at IHOP during study hall. On the way back, Dom‘s car broke down.
We were so scared we wouldn’t make it back in time
before our next class! Will waved down a policeman
and asked him to bring us just to make sure
we made it back to school safely.
We laughed so much that whole day.
I will never forget that. Love you, Will.

"I remember our whole Cancun trip.

We bonded and got closer than ever. Your spirit and everything you stand for will forever live on.

Look over us Bruddah."

Austin

"You and Jasmine were in middle school and Nya and I

were in elementary school. We would always say we were going to be sisters because y’all were getting married.

But years later, without the marriage,

you were still my brother and calling me sister.

Love you, Will."
