William explored his musical talents as he played guitar and the trombone for a period of time. A gifted artist, William loved drawing, creating comic book characters, reading, journaling and playing chess with his mom. He could be found “tinkering” with his dad when they were repairing or building their projects. Sharing memes and videos, he loved being with family and his friends, he cared about everyone. He was a loving son, brother and friend and he would do anything for his family or friends. With his grandmother, he attended Lincoln Street Baptist Church in Mt. Pleasant.
