Willie was a good listener and source of encouragement through hard times. He was warm and approachable despite his tall stature, greeting others with big hugs at family gatherings. He also had a good sense of humor and you could tell he loved his kids in how he played with them. I appreciate his positive outlook despite life's challenges and the way he found solutions with integrity. He was kind enough to host our family when visiting Seattle and gave us a fun tour of the city. We thank God for the opportunity to know Willie and look forward to seeing him again someday. He’s greatly loved and missed. Our prayers and sincere condolences to the Weber family.

Love Always,

The Wetzels of Tennessee

I will never forget this big personality, lover of Jesus!  When Bethany introduced Willie to her extended family, he instantly became one of "us".  My forever image of Willie is playing in the lake with his kids.  He never spent a short time in the water, he played with his kids either until they were exhausted or he was exhausted.  Blessings to Bethany and the kids.  We sang this song in church and I envied Willie,

When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation

And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart

Then I shall bow, in humble adoration

And then proclaim, my God, how great Thou art

Willie, on bended knee, in humble adoration proclaiming, my God how great you are!
