It has taken me nearly a year to find just the right words as to what to say and I do not know that I have even found them just yet as I have not quite accepted all of this.
First and foremost, my my most sincerest condolences to his family, especially his little girls. I know how much he had wanted a family of his own and my heart shattered knowing that they lost their daddy. To his partner, Donna, and Danielle, I also extend my condolences as I could only imagine the utter shock, disbelief, and pain that you all have felt and possibly feel now. My heart has been with you all.
I have known Will since I was 17 as well. I had a few years with him on and off until he moved to Utah. I always knew him to be a kind, loving, and generous person that loved his family and his best friends. We spent alot of time with his friends. Working on cars, restoring them, riding mountain bikes, going to the races, and most of all he is why I love to fish. We would wake early in the morning and drive out to a lake in search of the biggest bass he could find. After a dozen lakes, streams, creeks, and ponds between Santa Paula and Santa Maria, he finally found it and had it mounted. He was so proud of that thing, he was giddy with excitement when he got it back from being mounted. Cars were his other passion and I learned a lot from him which propelled my love for cars as well. He was adventurous and I loved it!
I can still remember some of the things that he said, the faces he would make. The way he danced, the way he would listen to me when I sang. The way he smiled, even the scowls he would give, the laugh. The smell of his cologne and the flannels he would always wear. The way he would drive his cars like he was driving in a sprint race. Taking his little car in the orchirds and acting like it could 4x. All I have left is the pictures to accompany the memories. My heart really does break when I think of how his little babies wont get to grow up to experience any of this.
It is an absolute tragedy that this happened and your hearts are forever scarred, but if I ever knew him at all, I know that he loved you all with every ounce of his being. I wish you all love, happiness, and healing. You are forever in my heart and on my mind.

Will is our son from another mother. His loyalty and love for family was unconditional. He loved deeply. He struggled with his own self worth but those of us who knew his heart knew how loved he was. We will always remember him as good friend,hard worker,loving partner,crazy prankster and someone who left far to soon❣️

I first met Will aka Wilma Gene Cobblepot when I was just 17 and we became great friends and had so much fun together. He was funny and kind and had a heart of gold. My friend Sheila and I would race him home from work when he was at Chevron and would hang out at the station listening to music, playing cards and just talking. We had the best talks. I’ll never forget you Wilma, keep an eye out for us until we all meet again! Love you always my friend!

I just learned of his passing today. Will was my crazy motorcycle, dirt bike riding, beating up the crazy boys kicking it at Exxon buddy in Santa Paula way back in the day. He was a solid friend no doubt. Hanging out at my house one day there was some weird dude walking by, Will knocked him out just for walking funny. Will was so ruthless and always down to aid in backup for a friend. Sorry my brother, in my memory you will be.
