I'll just tell you here, I guess. It's better if I tell the FF now than later.
On Super Bowl night at 10:30pm, Sunday, Febuary 5th, 2006, Willie passed away. He was at a Super Bowl party at his friend's house. He was wound up from the show, so he was how you say, "absen-minded" at the time. His friend, Tyler, was leaving. As Tyler started to drive away, Willie jumped onto the car. At the time, he was just fooling around. He said "No, don't go!". It surprised Tyler, so he accadently floored the gas, and missed the brake. This was quite common for Tyler. He always mistaked the gas pedal for the brake. This time, the mistake was fatal. As the car boosted to 20mph, Tyler tried to stop slowly. But, he was too afraid that he accadently stopped too quickly. Willie flew off the car, and hit the back of his head into a curb. Yes, I was there, so I heard his last words. "I...I think I'm done. Sorry...". Those... were his last words. He died one minute after his fatal fall.
Willie was a wonderful and nice guy. He would be always caring and helping. When ever I was down, Willie was there for me. He was never depressed. He always tried to cheer people up and make us laugh. We've known each other since first grade. He was my hero, my friend. He was more of my brother to me. When he grew up, he hoped to be famous. He was to be a comedian. If that fatal tragety never happened, he would be. I just know it. Everyone knew him as "Big Willie" because of his weight. But Willie was proud to be big. He turned the age of 17 on December 15.
After that, peoples' lives changed forever. I try to keep my mind off it as much as I can, but this, you must know.
This was a little hard for me to do... But I think it's best if you all new how he passed away. When he passed, I just could not stop bawling. Two hours later, I had cried myself to sleep. The next two days, I had told the FF. Sapphira and others really helped me out. Their advice was very touching. I am so happy I have friends here the care...
When I saw bobman37 two days later in AC:WW, I told him. He also sent me a very touching PM. It brought tears to my eyes of what Sapphira and bobman37 said to me. Again, thank you all so, very much.
From then on, I pray for him every night. Sapphira has helped me pray for him as well. I'm sure he is doing very well in Heaven right now. He is in God's hands now. I donot understand His reasons, but they must be good for such a tragety. I just don't know why. God has helped me since then-- Allowing me to recover. Knowing that he is with God makes me feel better. His good deeds from Earth are sure to be awarded in Heaven.
One day, I know that I will soon join him. I now know that I will still be happy when I die, because I know that I will be with him. My parents, brothers, friends, and FF friends have prayed for him and I. I really do appreciate it...
I am in tears now, but it's okay. I am alright. I can cry, but not have to be upset. This was really hard for my to say. Thank you again for reading my tragety.
