william's obituary
William “Will” Hoover, 32, passed away on June 24, 2024, in Riverside, California. Born on September 28, 1992, in Orange, California, Will brought warmth and strength into the lives of those who knew him.
Will was a protector at heart and an amazing big brother. His kindness and gentle nature left a lasting impression on everyone he met. Known affectionately as a “gentle giant,” he carried himself with quiet strength and unwavering love for his family.
He had a passion for staying active—he loved running and working out with his favorite protein shake, often seen with his favorite cigar in hand and wearing his signature cowboy boots. A true coffee enthusiast, Will found joy in the simple rituals of daily life that reflected his grounded spirit.
Will’s memory will be cherished by his siblings Rebecca Hoover, Nathanial Hoover, and Marriah Pugh; his niece Braylee Hoover; his nephews Bricin Tolle, Jaxsen Shinkle, and Atreus Shinkle; his grandfather Stanley Hoover; grandmother Linda Ware; aunts Laury Hoover and Jennifer Pugh; cousins Weston Hoover, Jacob Hoover and Atchison Hoover; and many others whose lives he touched deeply. He was also preceded in death by his uncle Matthew Hoover , Nana Maryann Hoover and grandfather Micheal Ware.
May William’s memory bring comfort to those who knew him and continue to inspire love, strength, and kindness in their hearts.
