Willie was an extremely dedicated man. He was known as a hard worker who was up with the sun everyday. He had a very strong work ethic, and always provided for his family. Willie was a very good hearted and loving man. He had a love for dirt track racing, traveling to the Smokey Mountains, and visiting flea markets. He was an avid knife collector and shared the love of it with his family. He enjoyed finding antiques and filling his home with them. Willie was the "Well Doctor" and was very dedicated to his customers who he treated like family. He did honest work for those in our community. 

Willie loved his tight knit group of guys and spending time with his dearest friends. If you knew Willie, he more than likely had a nickname or two for you. He touched so many lives, especially through his ministry, and never shied away from sharing his love of Jesus Christ with anyone. He was a very giving man to anyone in need. He had a love for collecting antiques, enjoyed gardening with his family, and working with his tractor. He was a MacGyver of anything that could be built, loved a can of spray paint, and had many adventures with his best four legged pal, Hank.

Willie loved everyone deeply and would make a friend anywhere he went. The quality time he had with family and friends meant the most to him. 

Above all else, Willie was the provider and backbone of his family, always making sure those he loved were cared for in every way. While no donations are being requested, if you feel led to bless the family during this difficult time, it would be deeply appreciated.
