Known as Willie to most and Boy to family, he was very quick witted, had an infectious laugh and unwavering kindness to all that he called friends or family and also to those he didn’t know.
He is survived by his 3 children, Sasha, Ian and Jamaica. 8 grandchildren. Cassie, Carlos, Malia, Brennen, Finnegan, Emery, Justice & Gracen. He loved his grandchildren which was apparent by the way he communicated regularly. Pictures of them were everywhere in his home.
William lived a wonderful life Full of Passion, Faith, Love and Adventure. He loved Concerts, Cars and Riding his Motorcycle. He Served Our Country in the Army as did his Father and Grandfather. His Military Passion was jumping from planes.
We know today he is looking down with his arms around his family feeling healthy, strong and proud that he left us ready to carry on the Duarte name with stories, pictures and history that will live on for generations to come.
Rest in Peace Dad, Grandpa, Cousin, Friend! We Love You.
