With Will, it didn't matter how long it was between conversations. (Even if it was years.) When your paths crossed, he always managed to make you feel like it had been just yesterday. Will's easy going nature and great sense of humor made it so easy and natural to be around him. He never failed to put a smile on my face. I hope the great memories of time spent with him will give his family some comfort at this difficult time.

- Barry Manson, Roswell , GA

See you again one day! I love you. Kim Hernandez

I am so sorry for your loss. I, Michael, have known Will pretty much most of my life. I knew him when his Father, Freddy, played on Central Christian's softball team. We were so young, but that is when we met. I was fortunate enough to be reunited with Will at St. Paul's when we were in middle school. From there, it was an everlasting friendship. Eddie and I had the privilege of hanging out one night a few years ago when we were visiting Savannah. It was a night I'll never forget. We talked about the old days and the skating rink, etc. We always connected with Will because he was an awesome,amazing, cool,and compassionate human being who we loved a lot! The last time we had with him was meant to be because it was our best meeting ever. I am so grateful that I had that because I know he knew how we truly felt about him because of it! I'm planning to run into him again, but next time I expect him to look just like he did in the beautiful guitar photo. We send you lots of prayers and love, Michael and Eddie White

- Michael and Eddie White, Knoxville, TN

A few months ago Will and another close friend came to my house and had some pizza as we watched some basketball. I played against Will when he was at Memorial. I had not seen him in a long time, but it felt like we had been close for a long time. Will had that ability to come into a room and make everyone feel like a great friend. We ate, watched and played basketball and talked about old times. It is an evening that I will remember for a long time. I did not know it would be my last time to see him, but unfortunately it was. I will see Will again and I know he will make me feel like a great friend. I am looking forward to that reunion. Our loss is Heaven's gain. See you soon my friend, Todd O'Neal

- Todd O'Neal, Savannah, GA

William Jacob Wade, I am never going to be the same. I loved you more than no one knew, except you. We always laughed and had the best times of my life. Ann, Joe, n David I am thinking of you all. As well as all of his many, many friends. Will I will never have a love like yours, EVER!
