In Celebration of William Durham

Donation protected
As some of you may have heard, our dear brother passed away suddenly, and peacefully in his sleep at 37 years young.

On this day, we lost a friend, nephews lost an uncle, my father lost his son, and most importantly, Patrick lost his Dad.

On this day, our brother went to be with our Mom up in Heaven. A spirited soul with so much life yet to live.

Willy's story:
He was the life of a party, everyone knew when Willy was around. He didn't know how to whisper, nor did he have a filter when he spoke. Although Willy had his setbacks in life, it never let him get him down. Willy was
one of the most loyal friends a person could have; Whenever someone needed something or asked him for help, he was always there, willing and ready. He loved to paint, but most of all, he loved being a father to his
beautiful 6 year old son, Patrick. When Patrick was born, this is when Willy began to shine. These two were inseparable and Patrick just adored his Daddy.

As I'm sure you can imagine, this has been very difficult on our family. Emotionally and financially. We laid our mom to rest just over a year and a half ago, and now, we have to do the same for our brother. My families hearts are breaking.

To help offset expenses, we are asking for donations to assist in the funding of the funeral. Once our goal has been met, all further donations will be put in a fund to help care for his young son Patrick. No donation is too small, if you cannot donate, please share this post. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts and God bless.

Respectfully, Willy's Family
