Love your family. Praying for each of you as you grieve this amazing husband, father, son, family member, and friend. May God bring you comfort at this time.
What a beautiful tribute for William. He lived his life with so much love for his wife, children, and especially GOD. He led a Life by example, of walking the walk of faith. William will be very missed by all who knew him and loved him but I’m so grateful he’s no longer in pain. I see him running the streets of heaven, jumping on clouds, and throwing footballs! Love you, William
Praying for his family, friends. May their faith and wonderful memories bring comfort.
Our hearts are broken but his is healed. The earth was blessed by his presence. Michelle and children were the loves of his life. Dawn Mason-Blackman was and is so kind and loving to my family
William always wanted to help and never said no. I am so happy he knew how much I loved him. Such a wonderful son (in-law).

Welcome home William .. i pray for peace to the ones you left behind .. Heaven is rejoicing for another Saint has went home
Michelle, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. A person that departs from this earth never truly leaves, for they are still alive in our hearts, through us, they live on. William is in a better place without pain.
Michelle and family,
I am so sorry for the loss you all have suffered. I pray for you all that God will give you the strength you need. I also pray that He will comfort you and give you peace that only He can give.
William was such an amazing man! The Bible says “The meek shall inherit the earth”. The world thinks that being a “meek” man is being weak. But William personified this Scripture. It takes WAY more strength for a man to be meek than to be loud, yelling and screaming throughout life. He was humble and patient ; restraining from his own power so as to allow room for others, and patient under suffering, which William had a ton of, due to the body he was born with. He had struggled with his health for SO long, yet kept that smile on his face and didn’t complain.
William ALWAYS had a smile on his face and Jesus shining from his eyes. He had a ready laugh. He was comfortable in this life, as he allowed God Almighty to direct his path. He loved his family more than any other earthly thing.
He took them to church, and even better was a Godly man that they could look up to and watch him following Jesus to the best of his ability.
Every one who knew William was better for it, and I was lucky enough to be “in-laws” along with him!
Michelle, Emmy, Nathaniel, Noah, and Rebekkah…I am so sorry for your loss! You have always been such a close family. You took such good care of him while on earth! You showed him such love and caring! He left here knowing how much he was loved, and entered Heaven, hearing Jesus say Well done, my good and faithful servant”!
I just saw this,I don’t get in Facebook very anymore. William was a kindhearted person. I’m sorry to learn of his passing. My condolences & prayers to his family.
