He was born August 18th, 1966 in Wake County to William Strickland Jr. and Pamela Briggs Strickland. He was driven and independent from the start. His great sense of humor could light up a room, and his infectious laughter and smile will be cherished forever. He was passionate about music and art, and he found joy in being creative. He was a loving and caring father, and he touched the lives of those around him with his thoughtful and silly moments. Renowned for his hard work and ability to fix anything, he turned challenges into triumphs. Outside, under the warmth of the sun, he found solace in simply laying, embracing the moment and the gentle touch of sunlight on his face. With an apron as his cape, he enjoyed cooking that united family and friends. May his memory be a melody of love and laughter, forever in our hearts.
