“William was a man of few words. However, his actions shouted out the loudest decibel. He was never afraid to show you what he wanted out of life. He was a true fighter that would never back down until he was content. His smile brought you instant laughter and his chuckles brought you instant happiness. He can finally rest easy as he resides in our hearts. Rest in paradise, Will."  HE WILL BE MISSED BY HIS FAMILY.
