His last position was as a data analyst.

He was a member of First Presbyterian Church in Batesville where he came to believe in the love and grace of God and that in life we are expected to do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with our God.

He was a talented pianist, a wonderful cook, a giver of gifts, a lover of growing plants, a Democrat who was so happy to see Biden win, a Saints fan, but most of all a caring friend who is being remembered as a force who was fun, thoughtful, and loving.

I am so sorry to hear about Will's death. Heartbroken for Betty and Katie and all who loved him. You are in my prayers.

Betty and Katie, We were shocked and saddened to see that Will recently died. We did not know he had been sick. Although I did not know Will very well, I loved his quiet and kind spirit that was always prominent. I am so sorry for all who loved him. So painful to lose a child and a brother. I am so glad he lived to see Biden win. Maybe that brought a glimmer of a smile near the end
