Forever my rock, forever my soul. I can’t believe this is happening. I love you more than I can express. Bill came into my life at age 5 and became my Dad from that day on. Always a positive attitude and something inspirational to say. I will keep that same energy going forward. Such a big heart and a big personality. Hard to imagine this world without you but we will carry on your legacy forever. I love you -Tina

I don’t even know where to start, literally. All I know is my name is William Ronald Mack III, LITTLE BILL, and I will forever be that. You weren’t only my father, you were my role model, my leader, and the man I aspired to be. Hardworking, a family man, and a provider are compete understatements , because you did so much more than that. The size of you heart was bigger than you , literally lol, and everyone who knew you or came in close contact with you would say the same. You were the coolest, funniest, corniest yet amazing man I knew. Everything you ever did put smiles on everyone’s face around you. There wasn’t one time when I was worried that I didn’t fall back on your teachings or trainings . You taught me to put my family first , to work hard, and to always be aware of my surroundings; and that I do, and will continue to do. You left to soon man, way too soon. I know Gods timing is the perfect timing, but this didn’t feel so perfect to me. I wanted to talk to you more, I wanted you to watch me play football again after be sidelined for almost 2 years, I wanted to laugh with you a million more times, I wanted to watch sports with you, get fly with you , take you out on a flight somewhere you’ve never been, and then some. Unfortunately I can’t , but dad, best believe I will do all those things with the family. I sometimes questioned why you always referred to me as “son” but now that you’re gon all I want is for you to call me that one more time. I can hear your voice, laugh, cry all in my head, and the sounds don’t stop. You were the goat man, a father to your kids, and to the whole community. Every one of my friends looked up to you as if you were their own dad, because that’s the vibe you always gave off. There wasn’t one thing I couldn’t tell or talk to you about, and that’s what I loved the most. We had those father son moments that were second to none. Man I love you daddy, and will forever carry on the legacy you set for me, the path you paved will be carried on by me always and forever. What you started will be finished, and I can’t wait to give my mother, sister, and brothers the world, as I know you would’ve. I love you dad, words can’t even express or come close to the amount of love I have for you . Goodbye is forever, but see you later means that somewhere down the line I will see you again. So pops, it’s not goodbye, but I will see you later. I know you are up there looking down on me proud of me, and I will continue to make you proud day in and day out. As I soon graduate college, and enter this new phase of my life, you will be with me every step of the way. IMA TURN THIS PAIN INTO CHAMPAGNE, and celebrate the life of the only and only WILLIAM RONALD MACK JR, aka BIG BILL , BIG MACK, and lastly , MY OG - MY DAD🖤. - L.B

Dad you will forever be with me. You were my rock and my protector. The reason i am as confident as i am, is because of you. You were like a best friend and a Dad in one. You gave me strength, and heart. You helped me become a man. I wish we could’ve experienced more, but i know we will because you’ll forever be with me. At first sight, many can easily view you as a big dude thats not to be messed with, but you were a lot more than that. You were such a great father. So great that you were a father figure to more than just your kids. I loved having a dad that everyone liked and wanted. It’s a great feeling to know your dad is that guy. We will miss you. I will miss you. I love you forever Pops❤️ -Justin

It's hard to find words to express how special Billy was to me. Billy was everything you could ask for in a big brother. He protected me, he taught me and gave me advice about anything I didn't know about. He was my best friend for life and I'm going to miss my big man. -Kevin
