Will was a good man. He always had something nice to say, and he always had a sweet smile on his face. Will and I spoke with each other for a good 30 mins the Friday before he past away. He told me he was loving life & that he loved Jesus. He said he enjoyed reading the Bible and that he was happy. He told me that Saturday would be his and his wife’s 1 year Anniversary and that they were going to talk and that they had been separated. He said this is the first time I have been married but it’s not turned out how I expected it to. I ask him if they were going to divorce and he gave a sad smile and said looks that way but they needed to talk. I told him I was sorry he gave me a kiss on the cheek as I was leaving and he said to me I will be seeing you around Ms. Donna. I will never forget our conversation and him saying I will be seeing you around. He was also talking to his wife on the phone and waiting on her. I told him to tell her I said hello. He then Went and helped Ebony a co worker move a piano around and Ebony told me after Will helped him out he last saw Will smoking a cigarette still waiting on his wife. Will was a good man. I am sorry for your families loss.
Will I’m so sorry for your loss. I remember working with your son and him coming in to help you. Very nice and polite you man. Your family are in my prayers 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I will always remember Will as one of the kindest people I have ever known. He was gentle, he was loving, he was goofy and smart. He picked himself up many times in his life, and that requires a beautiful kind of bravery and hope. I admire so much the person he chose to be. He is missed. He is loved.
Very sorry your loss! The family is in my thoughts and prayers! Hugs!
Will and Diana, Shelly and Grace, and all the extended West Family,
I am shocked and so sorry for your loss. Words can’t describe the sadness you must feel at this time. I will pray for his soul and for each of you during this most difficult time.
With sadness,
Theo
Brother you will be missed so much. I’ll see you again in heaven. Love Roxanne Dyson.
Dear family, I can not express the kindness Will has shown me over the years. He started as my server at Formosa and became my friend. I worked with Will and he was such a great leader. He always had a smile and never made me feel incompetent no matter what. I have gone in and out of his life over the years. I had the chance to speak with him Saturday afternoon. I am so glad I took the call. Please know my love is with his wife and family. God bless.
We are thoughtful of your family at this difficult time and are thankful for the family gathering in which we met Will. He was kind and very personable with a welcoming smile-a sweet young man. We are praying for God to comfort you and bring you peace.
Our hearts are so incredibly saddened by the loss of Will. We had the honor to work with Will for a year. He touched the lives of so many residents within Grand Village Retirement Community. Will had such a gentle spirit & he had a true servants heart. Will truly loved the residents and staff that he worked with. He was so amazing & such a great guy.
We are so sorry for your loss
Dan and I send our love to the family. Don’t forget that your neighbors are here if you need us.
Thank you to all this who have shared condolences. It lifts our hearts to hear your memories and love for Will and the wonderful person he was.
Thinking of you, Shelly and Grace. Will was such a pleasant, sweet guy. I last ran into him at the Formosa restaurant, where we had a nice conversation. My condolences to the family.
