I loved him so much and I have such wonderful fond memories of him. He was just like having another brother!! Now he is home and free from pain and resting from his labors. What a reunion in heaven with all the Wilson clan. There was so much love between all the cousins and plenty of happy times together!!! My prayer is for all his family to have peace and comfort that only the Lord can provide and keep seeing his face in his grandchildren and smile for them!! He was special!! My friend!!

My sincere condolences go to you and your family I know I can be difficult when losing a loved one acts 24:15 helps us to appreciate that there will be a ressurection and soon we will be reunited with our loved ones again my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family
It was such a pleasure to have met such a sweet and amazing man. I love hearing the stories of him. He was an angel on here on earth that was called back home to continue his job as an angel to look after and protect the family and friends that he left here and to prepare them a place to come home too in the future. To the family and friends, my sincere condolences to you all. Not everyone gets to have such a beautiful memory of such a good father, friend, and husband and those are memories that keep you smiling for the rest of your lives. I am keeping you all in my prayers. And may God comfort you with strength and guidance and wrap his loving arms around you all in the next few weeks and longer. After his meeting with his lost loved ones and watching over his living family; I bet he will make a B line to go find Dale Earnhardt. God Bless you all.
May God Bless and be with you at this time. We are so sorry to hear of Willis passing. Wonderful memories to share with all the family. Prayers for all of you.
