My heart is truly broken over the loss of brother Willie. He was such a wonderful man — kind, genuine, and full of light. A true man of God, his faith was evident in everything he did and in the way he treated everyone around him. I always looked forward to seeing him at church; just being near him made the day feel brighter. It was clear how much love he carried for others and how deeply he cared. I am so grateful to have known him, even if it feels like it wasn't long enough. I'm keeping his dear wife and family wrapped in my prayers. He will be so deeply missed and forever remembered with love. I will forever hear, "heyyyy driver!"
