On February 25, 1967, Willie was joined in holy matrimony to the love of his life, Vivian Jones. Through this beautiful, lifelong union, they were blessed with three daughters: Patricia, Carman, and Cleopatria. Willie was a devoted husband, a beloved father, and a strong pillar of strength for his family.

Willie was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Vivian; his daughter, Patricia; and his brothers, James Jr., William, and Charles. He leaves behind a beautiful legacy to be cherished by his loving daughters, Carman and Cleopatria; his sisters, Fannie, Betty, Nancy Lee, and Ophelia; and his brother, Simon. His memory will live on through his grandchildren: James, Willie, Vivian, Clayton, Jacquelynne, Leont’ae, Cam’ron, Dashara, Riah, Santana, and Adeline; his great-grandchildren: Mikiyah, Denver, Cartier, Alayijah, Ja’meisha, Jamyla, Jaiden, and Pariis; and a host of loving nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.

Willie leaves a lasting imprint on all our hearts. He will always be remembered for his love of fishing, gardening, barbecuing, and building things. His sense of humor, his trademark coolness, his ability to always keep it real, and the incredible legacy he leaves behind will never be forgotten.
