William’s love for his wife, family, friends, music, dancing and the outdoors was the core of who he was as a person. William had told family members that he knew from the moment he met his now wife, Veronica, that she was his one true love and that he was going to marry her because he said when he looked at her it was like the whole world was right in front of him, and he did just that. William’s free-spirited nature was evident in his zest for life. He embraced new experiences, sought out adventure, and encouraged others to do the same. His positive energy and enthusiasm were infectious to everyone around him.

He believed in living life to the fullest, never shying away from taking risks or pursuing his passions. William treasured the time spent with his loved ones, cherishing every moment and creating lasting memories together.
