Willie C. Giddens, III

Sunday, August 20, 1995 at 3:30 P.M., Willie Clair Giddens III entered this world! He was born in Thomasville, Georgia to Patricia Little and the late Willie Giddens, Jr. Since then, he has made a significant impression on the lives of many. From Georgia to Germany, Willie was the life of the party where ever he went! He brought joy and laughter for all who knew him. His loving and humorous character brought comfort and smiles to his family and friends. His presence was a gift, and his life was marked by kindness, compassion, and an irresistible sense of fun. His laughter was contagious, his smile unforgettable, and his nature was overall friendly and openhearted. He believed in living his life to the fullest, because he knew tomorrow isn't promised to anybody. If you met him then you know there was never a dull moment when he was around. He kept us rolling in laughter and would find a way to make even the simplest things in life funny. When he smiled, he showed every tooth in his head, and would brighten up even the darkest rooms.

Willie received his primary education in the Brooks County Schools and later traveled abroad with his sister where he attended Vilseck High School while living in Grafenwoehr, Germany. Willie was hardworking and dependable.
