Everyone knew William as Willie or Will. If you ever met Will, there’s a good chance he left a big smile on your face, especially with his infectious laugh. He was a jack-of-all-trades kind of guy but one occupation he was really known for was a truck driver. He was an avid outdoorsman; he loved to hunt and fish. But most of all he loved his family and friends. He will be greatly missed but will live on in the hearts and memories of those who loved him.
His celebration of life will be held at noon on March 2, 2024, in the Jackson Community Center.
