I remember Will would always try to make others laugh. He was selfless, humble, and a great friend.

Will is one the the nicest, most genuine people you will ever meet. I remember having a BBQ with Will and some friends at Will’s house and excepting to be roasting marshmallows. Instead, we marinated some steak and roasted it. It was the best BBQ I have had.

Will was one of my best friends. He was so genuine and so supportive of me in some of my hardest times. He was a musical, and athletic genius. Anything he put his mind to he was the best at. I will forever cherish the memories we had. I miss him greatly.

I've had classes with will since high school and a couple in college as well. Will always made the class more enjoyable. He would always ask how I was and what my future plans were. He was always very genuine while you chatted with him.

Will was an absolute joy to be around. He was witty, happy, and just plain fun. Will knew how to put a smile on your face and he genuinely cared about being your friend. Will was also one of the smartest students in all of our classes. I remember thinking about how I probably needed to study a little more for my tests because I knew that even without studying, Will would probably get a better score. In college Will and I had conversations with other buddies about potentially putting together our own company. He excited everyone in the group and actually made us feel like it was possible, he absolutely knew how to influence people for the better.
   
   I'm going to miss Will but his legacy will continue to be felt. I'm better for having known Will as many others are as well.

I first met Will while attending Jr High School. We had French class and there became friends quickly due to his personality and ability to be funny, friendly, and cheerful. Anytime I was speaking with Will, he had a smile on his face and he would make me laugh. I recall joking around and beat boxing in class. Will was creative and unique; anytime I saw him he had something unique to say and conversation was fun and entertaining.
   
Later on, we attended High School together and I had the pleasure to be in a couple classes with him. I spent the most time with Will, however, outside of school in a private orchestra group where we would have rehearsals weekly. Will was the sole reason I looked forward to going. We chose to sit last chair in the back together so that we could joke around and have fun. I had the honor of being his cello partner and chair mate for a few years. He was an extremely talented cellist; much better than I was. He was creative and always was playing little tunes and practicing unique bowing techniques.
   
As we graduated, I would occasionally contact Will and we met up a couple times for BBQs. At one of these hangouts, he referred me for a job he was working. After hooking me up with that job, I was able to meet my future wife there. Will was the direct result for helping me find my life-long partner; I have him to thank for that.

Will positively affected everyone's lives. He was a huge impact on others with his humor, personality, and kindness. Will will be missed and remembered by everyone. Rest in peace Will.
