For the following 18 months, Will and his family continued holding onto hope. Even after the cancer spread to his brain, those closest to him remained at his side, guided by the message “Faith, not fear.”

On July 23, 2025, at around 12:45 a.m., Will pᴀssed away at just 15 years old — on the same day as his mother’s birthday.
Although his battle has ended, Will’s family continues to remember him through the faith, love and memories he left behind. His story touched countless people far beyond Alabama, and his legacy continues through everyone who knew and loved him.
