My dear big brother Willie!  🏀🎹🎶👑

One childhood memory that I distinctly remember with Will is when we snuck into our middle school Gym(Cesar Chavez) in EPA, just to play Basketball. Lol It was a random Saturday afternoon & the only way we could get inside was through the roof top window! Yes, we hopped the fence & climbed the roof Lol I  struggled to keep the window balanced while he pushed his way through 😂 , but he managed his way in, and once he got inside, he opened up the doors & called all his friends around the neighborhood to Ball up with Him.

That was the kind of person He was, he was diligent about His talent & passionate about what He Loved. Such a thoughtful & consious individual... Sometimes overthinking things Lol but always with His Family's BEST interest at Heart. He Loved His family so much! I'm so Blessed and truly at Peace that I was able to share some lasting words with my Brother, heart to Heart, as we often did, but not once did I think it would be our LAST 😭😭😭, literally a month before he passed Away. This Im so Thankful to God for setting things in place to allow those last precious moments/words with my Will to take place. I Miss you So much Big Brother & I will cherish every last memory & your Heart of Gold forever! 

Ultimately it was a challenge of FAITH for me, but unwavered by the circumstance that was at hand & the absence of Will's physical body here on earth... I have been consistently reminded, daily of God's amazing grace, His Peace that surpaseth all understanding and His Matchless Agape LOVE. Praise God Always & Forever. Thank you Lord for Blessing me with an amazing Big Brother 💛👑!!!!
Til we meet again, Willie 💗🙏

Love, Wilfred. 

My dear twin,
 Will thank you for illustrating how to love unconditionally, to always give God the praise and glory through our gifts. You were a man of few words with a whole lot of humility on a basketball court and a heart full of gold. I’m thankful and honored to have you as an older brother. You may have said a few words but your actions spoke louder. This memory of you I will forever cherish when you found out I was pregnant with your first niece and you were so happy that you wanted to teach her how to ball to make it to the WNBA. You told me to tell my in-laws not to spoil her too much because that was your duty as an uncle. You always sent money to me every week since my baby was in my womb until she was born. When I gave birth to her and I sent you pictures and videos of her I remember you saying she’s gorgeous because she looks like you. Sadly before you departed earth you weren't given that chance to see your niece physically but I know you're watching over us. I’m going to miss our memories together. I love you bruh! My daughter Esther-Mae aka Wilma will grow up knowing how much she was loved by her uncle Will. #LongLiveWill #BallUpWill 

Will was like a little brother that I always wanted to have. When he came into my life, he was very quiet and kept to himself. He was like a sponge, never spoke much but soaked up everything in his surroundings. When we were staying in Southside Stockton, we had a park litterally in our backyard. So everyday you would find will there hooping til it was dark. I can remember me an him making up plays to run on our next pickup games. He loved sports with a passion. We used to go to a church that I believe helped will to become the strong-spirited person like he was. This church helped us grow stronger as Christian Brothers, because we WANTED to go to church, we WANTED to worship GOD. An not many kids are like that these days. Then our family moved up to North Stockton, an we had no park nearby or any outlet like we did in the Southside. So that's when will would sit in our room for hours an hours an teach himself how to play the piano. An what a gift he had. I would ask him, "Uce can you play this song" an if he didn't know it he would sit there an play it by ear til he got it down perfect. When he wasn't playing the keys I could remember how we would just talk an talk til we fell asleep. We had no TV, no video games, just each other to talk to as well as my brother Mona. Just talking life, Those are the times I'll never forget uce. An what I would do to have one more chance to jam out with you bro. Never got to pour out my heart to you at the funeral so I feel I should at least write you some words uce. You taught me so much on how I should carry myself in this world, an to be Christlike like you. I LOVE YOU UCE til I get up there, say hi to grams n gramps for me bro. It hurts to know I'll never see or hear from you again, but I know you in heaven living your best life. Love u will, watch over us uce. 

I had the pleasure of working with Will when we opened the brand new store in Mountain View. He was such a dedicated, hard working and pleasant young man. He brought a great attitude and smile to work each and every day. If all employees were like Will, there will be no need for managers. It tears at the heart to find such a fine person’s life being cut short at its prime. RIP Will! Proud to have had you on our team!!!

USO Will was such a humble, loving and caring person. A memory that I have of him: I remember one Sunday afternoon after church. Uncle Foloa and Aunty Becky took us out for lunch. After lunch we went to their house and that’s where I learned that this guy had so much talent. Added to being athletic (football and Basketball), Will was very talented in music. He was showing me his beat making skills on the computer. Man this guy could’ve sold those beats for a lot of money. Lol. Then he called me into the room where he had his keyboard and he started playing Samoan worship songs then the 90s R&B. And boy I was singing away. Everyone that know me know I love to sing. But it’s one of the many talents I wasn’t blessed with. Haha. Will, May you Rest In Peace my uso. It was a blessing to know you. Love you bro. 

It has been a tough time finding out you’re no longer physically here. Wished that I could’ve seen you more often. Really hate that this happen to you but our Heavenly Father’s plans can never be questioned. 

I’ll never forget our times ballin with one another, and you bringing your sidekick Kev to come ball. The other week I came see you at your candle light vigil and I thought what better way to remember you than to bring a ball for you. Kev and I was sharing memories of you and he brought my attention that y’all always talked about EPA basketball talent and Kev said you always mentioned me, which only makes it harder for me. I’ll always play ball with you mind bro,it’s crazy how life works. 

Im forever grateful to have known and balled with you. I’ll never forget you, and I hope they have a basketball court up there to keep you busy, when you’re not watching over your family. Much love bro! See you soon. 

Will is a person that I can talk to hours and make jokes and we understand each other. I met him at Safeway Los Altos. He is funny, out going, good friend, very caring person and sometimes he is very annoying (good way). Every time we talk, he ends with “WHY NOT?” But now his WHY NOT? I will remember FOREVER. I miss you Will. With GOD permission,  I promise one day we will see you again. 

Thank you for the great times we spent together my brother. You will always be special to me, I will miss you man.  Your such a great person and you'll always stay in my mind and my heart.
