Will attended the 4th grade at Jerseyville East Elementary School. He loved to play baseball and football with his friends, he treasured the hours spent fishing with his Papi and enjoyed cooking up something in the kitchen. An active interest in how the world went together, Will loved to build with Legos, and to help out on projects, earning the title of “project manager” from his family. Most important to Will, was the time he spent just being the “Big Brother” to his brothers and cousins and the time he spent with his family.

Always smiling, always happy, Will made everyone’s life he touched better and the world will miss him.
