Dr. Rainey, your kind and compassionate spirit, along with your unwavering pursuit of excellence, will always be remembered. Your calm voice, gracious heart, and incredible ability to support, encourage, and guide others left a lasting impact on so many lives. Heaven has truly gained an angel—may you rest peacefully.

To the family, please accept my sincere condolences and prayers for strength, comfort, and peace during this difficult time.

I will always remember Dr. Rainey's smile and his gentle nature. I worked closely with him for many years on our national accounts at KP. He traveled to the northeast in the winter and he was always all bundled up with his cap, coat and gloves. He enjoyed having New England clam chowder. My condolences to his family. I thoroughly enjoyed working with him and miss him. Love AmyZ

Willie was my neighbor and I never ever saw him without a smile on his face. He and Wanda were the first people to welcome my husband and me to Del Webb. Willie and I bonded as we were the same age and graduated from Macon GA high schools the same year. Willie was very special. I thank God I was allowed to share a bit of life's journey with Willie. Condolences and peace to all of Willie's family.

Carol Dieterle

I will always remember Willie as a great doctor, and in leisure a good friend. The many talks we had, the games of bid whist with you and Wanda. The trips I took with you both, especially in Spain. You will be missed, but you left wonderful memories. Heaven welcomes a new angel. 🙏🏾

Pat Burrows

Dr. Rainey, you will be missed. I remember all the times we worked together serving the community at the KP Corporate run walk. You were a real trouper in helping to make this event a success. RIP. To the family I will keep you all uplifted in prayer. Blessings.

Winnie D Wilson

Willie, through internship, residency and our careers together at TSPMG you were always the same- terrific doctor to your patients, terrific colleague, and so-so golfer! I'll remember you for how you were always giving of yourself to make things better for others. I'll miss you.

Richard Ellin

Cousin, this is difficult for me to imagine. I choose to remember how you lived, not how you died. Near the end of your earthly journey, I could still see your display of courage. You will forever be in our hearts. Thank you for being kind and generous. Thank you for giving until you couldn't. I will miss you for the rest of my life. Until we meet again, farewell my cousin and my brother.

Dr. Stanley Melton Harris

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
