I met Will working at air makers. He was one of the most coolest down to earth people I’ve ever met. He introduced me to so much music that I still love to this day. He even paid and took me to my very first concert. I will miss you brother…. Rest easy this one hurt me man 

My apologies to those of you who have heard me tell this story so many times.  When Will was about 2 years old, on Sundays, we would meet in the hallway at church.  He always reached for his Granddad whom he dearly loved and who loved him so much in return.   One Sunday,  we were standing there and he reached out his arms to me and I, of course, was thrilled.  I thought "This is some kind of  breakthrough".   Is he coming to my arms from Bill's.  Unbelievable!  He whispered in my ear, "Granddad squeeze me too tight".  I should have known!!!!

I remember knowing Will in elementary school and then seeing him again in high school. We were not close friends but I knew he was a very cool and sweet guy to be around. He made an impact on so many people. You will be dearly missed. ❤️

We didn’t really know Will for very long, however, we did get very close over this last year. To us, Will had a way of accepting and embracing people for their truest self, being so genuine with any/everyone. His soul was so beautiful in that way. He helped to make our first apartment really feel like home from countless dinner and movie nights together to showing nothing but love and support when diving deep into conversations about life. Will would make sure to share his love and affection with both our dog and cat equally so they wouldn’t get too jealous. He made sure to always walk or skate with our dog every single time he came over to visit. Over this last year Will became kind of like family to us, earning the new name “Uncle Will.” We will always miss his smile, voice, and hugs when saying goodbye.

There’s so much I could say. Will, I love you dearly and my heart is broken. We had a special kind of bond unlike any other. You were my go to person. I could call you for absolutely anything. More than 99% of the time we spent together we were laughing. I will miss your laugh more than anything. Thank you for over ten years of amazing friendship. Thank you for always keeping in touch with me no matter where life took us. I promise to always check on your mom.  I’ll be missing you. Until I see you again ❤️

What a joy it is to have known Will, even for this short time. From the day he started at REC, he was so kind, friendly and easygoing. We talked and joked in the breakroom at lunch a few times, and he would always speak to us when we saw him in the halls. 

He was definitely a good guy and a gentleman. I will always think of you and remember you, Will!  And I'll keep the chocolates you shared with me forever! 

Rest peacefully, Will! And my sincerest condolences to the Heath family. 

I can’t believe I’m reading, or seeing this. Wow. While we weren’t super close, we did have several classes together, and a lot of mutual friends. Nonetheless, we still shared conversations, we even were partners on a project before in Science class. He was a kind and malleable person, he could literally fit in anywhere, and with anyone. Rest In Peace! 🤍

Will and I met in High School, we had a few classes together and that’s where our friendship started. He was super friendly and easy to talk to, he just had a way of making you feel comfortable to talk about anything. You will be deeply missed, my condolences to the family.  

Can truly say I Had some of the best times of my life with you, from just listening to music all night or long boarding all day.. Watch over us bro and until next time. 

Will was one of my best friends back in our youth group days at church. He was a very vibrant young man and always made every day more fun. I don't have any specitic memories to pull from right now but I do remember that he always made me feel like a valued member of the group.  I'm so saddened to hear about this loss and I pray that his family will find peace and healing. 


I was scared of Will until about 7th grade and ever since then, he has been one of my favorite people. From getting me kicked out of target in middle school, to taking road trips to the beach as “grownups”,  he is one of the most fun people I know. Will, you are deeply missed 💕

Will was always the sweetest person. I would always see him at every restaurant I worked at and we would catch up and just keep each other updated on our lives. He had the biggest heart. I’m so sadden to hear the news. To the family you all are in my prayers. RIH ❤️

Will, I remember when we first met. It was science class, we sat next to each other and would talk about rappers all day … little did we know man, we didn’t know what we were talking about or even what was going on in class. All we knew is how to have a great time with friends. Watch over me and everyone else as we look up to you man. We won’t ever forget you! 

I've known Will since I was 5 years old. We met in kindergarten and have been friends ever since. He helped me get through the worst parts of growing up by always being there for me and making me laugh constantly. His friendship meant and always mean the world to me. I'll miss him so much. 

I'm so grateful to have had such a kind friend in you. The times we spent together are some of my best memories. Our inside jokes, the after school hangouts and the silly nicknames we insisted on giving each other will always hold a special place in my heart. Rest in peace, Will.

This absolutely breaks my heart, had so many good memories with Will at Garner before I left. Couldn’t imagine having gone to school with a better dude. May you Rest In Peace, you will be missed bro.

Will, thank you for giving me some of the best memories in high school and even after that. From adventures at Garner, in the neighborhood and even in your own home that everyone became so familiar with. You’ve touched so many lives and will forever be missed. Rest In Paradise. 

And don’t worry, I’ll forever be “Dirty Vazquez,” just for you. 

I don’t exactly know where to start , this is a tough loss. Will, you were and always will be a great friend. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting you in middle school and making some of the greatest memories throughout high school together.  Your house became a second home . Thank you for being such a true and genuine person . I miss you homie . We will shred again . Love you man .

Anita and Anne:  My heart hurts for you.  Will was a precious boy!  Dorothy

Will was always a happy, positive dude. No matter what day or time he had a smile on his face he was always ready to share. He was nothing short of a genuine great dude 

So sorry to hear of Wills passing. He always made me laugh when we worked together and outside of work. His positivity really rubbed off on everyone he was around. He will be so missed. 

From all the scars you helped me get long boarding, to the countless memories we all created in your tiny closet, to your awesome collection of the most random stuff, to the pizza rolls, to the first person I started drinking tequila with & the list goes on. A dear friend ,a  genuine man, free spirit & wild soul you will forever be loved & missed.

Will was one of the most sweetest and loving boy, He was more than just my sons friend but family to us. 

I've known Will since he was a baby and I was privileged to have been his daytime daycare mama for almost 5 years when he was little.  There was never a sweeter soul than his.  He loved talking and playing and everyone loved him.  In my house he was lovingly known as  "Emmett Smith"  (Dallas Cowboys) because at the time, he actually favored him and he always laughed but I'm sure he had no idea who we were talking about.  My heart is so sad right now about his passing and I am sending all my love prayers to his sweet family.  Forever in my heart sweet Will...

Will was the best kind of friend you could ever have. Always an immense appreciation for all kinds of things in life. Always adding to his epic collections. When I think of him thoughts of great music, unforgettable memories and unmatched experiences come flooding back. You’ve touched so many of us Will and we will carry you with us forever. 

Will touched the lives of so many with his vibrant energy. He made those closest to him feel loved and appreciated.
